Recall Alan Nolet and Davide Bardana competing Flyaway double back off the side of P Bars. We were allowed to move the mats.
For us having World Championships in Qatar is a very big deal. But it’s nothing compared with football’s biggest event.
FIFA President praises Qatar 2022 infrastructure progress during whistle-stop tour
Needless to say, the choice of Qatar was controversial.
FIFA’s Human Rights Advisory Board met in Doha 1-4 October to with the Local Organising Committee (LOC).
Aside from labor law reform (which is progressing) talks included safety and security of individuals of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
I haven’t seen news of any significant progress on that, however.
As of November 2018 FIFA nations still have many reasons to criticize the choice of host.
My best guess is that Qatar will be forced to change their laws on human rights before 2022.

One woman spoke out, another listened. That helped put an end to the abuse that lasted for more than 20 years. Meet the survivors, detective, attorney, and judge who told the world: Believe women.

Day 14 went well. 🙂
… We started the day with two line ups; one with Simone and one without in the case her kidney stone moved. I told the girls that anything can happen and we have to be prepared. We had the fourth girl warm up each event in the case Simone had to pull out. …

All hail USA.

3. CHN – 162.396 🥉
4. CAN – 161.644
5. FRA – 161.294
6. JPN – 160.262
7. BRA – 159.830
8. GER – 159.428
Here’s what the team leader had to say.

Fact is that any of the 5 teams could have finished ahead of China this day with a perfect meet. I felt Brazil had the best chance.
Dream team USA feat. Simone Biles dominated as expected. Is this their best and most balanced team ever?
After that it was close. All 7 teams might be hand wringing — IF only we had done this or that. But all 7 had at least one fall.
3-up, 3-count is challenging psychologically.
Personal shoutout to Team Canada for their historic 4th place finish.
In reality, it’s a near impossible accomplishment to be ranked one of the top 8 teams in the world. Congratulations to all these amazing athletes, their coaches, their support teams and Federations.
Please celebrate tonight.
The other 9 teams will qualify to the Olympics at 2019 Worlds. That happens in the qualifying competition, not the team final.
