You have a few of your facts wrong about Gabby Douglas. Iordache, Yao Jinnan, Komova, and Aly Raisman all have higher D-Scores than her. Gabby has also only beaten Jordyn twice, and one time was the day Jordyn had an asthma attack and was not at full power. She's inconsistent still. And while being fifth last year with lesser difficulty is nice, everyone who beat her last year has also upgraded, as well as Mustafina who wasn't there. I wish her the best, but you also need your facts straight
Iordache, Yao Jinnan, Komova, and Aly Raisman all have higher D-Scores than her.
No. They don't. Gabby has been credited with a 25.5 and is attempting a 25.9. Raisman has made a 25.4 and is attempting a 25.5, Komova has made a 24.9 and is attempting 25.4, and Iordache has made a 24.8 and is attempting a 25.3. Yao is attempting a 25.2. Yes, you read that right. Gabby has been LEGITIMATELY CREDITED with a higher D-score than anyone else in the world is even ATTEMPTING.
Gabby has also only beaten Jordyn twice, and one time was the day Jordyn had an asthma attack and was not at full power.
Please reread your own comment. She has beaten her.
She's also beaten Jordyn at numerous training camps. I fail to see your point here. Whether it was once or a million times I stated only that SHE HAS BEATEN HER. Make whatever excuses you want for why, but they both hit and Gabby beat her. Twice.
She is inconsistent still.
She just went 8 for 8 at Olympic Trials. She went 7-for-8 at Nationals. Oh no, one missed routine of 16!!1 HOW INCONSISTENT OF HER.
She's nervy on beam. That's it. She's been hitting the hell out of everything else AND staying on beam as well. Get over the inconsistent narrative. It's bull.
She's going on up on three events in team finals at the Olympics ffs.
while being fifth last year with lesser difficulty is nice, everyone who beat her last year has also upgraded, as well as Mustafina who wasn't there.
With less difficulty AND her hamstring injury. That was key. And, as noted, she currently has the highest D-score in the world. And I love Mustafina but the only place she's truly regained form is bars.
I wish her the best, but you also need your facts straight
I'm not the one who has a confused relationship with facts here.
