Simone on @TheOnion
You know you’ve made the big time when you’re featured on The Onion. 🙂
Simone & MyKayla – Amanar
We really need computer video analysis for judges on Vault. Height of centre of mass relative to height of the gymnast.
Heart this. Simone is HIGH.
Recall the Maroney & Uchimura comparison?
McKayla might be even higher than Simone.

Reality check – Kohei has said that his goal is sticking the landing. For tumbling and vault he does not try for his maximum height. Instead, he wants optimum height.
is Jordan Chiles happy?
Yep. 😀
Jordan had a fantastic Nationals. Moving to train with Simone at WCC has worked well for her.
Simone seems to hang in mid-air
Physics … meh. 🙂

allowing athletes to speak freely
Simone:
”You had one job. You literally had one job and you couldn’t protect us and it is just really sad because now every time I go to the doctor or training, I get worked on. I don’t want to get worked on, but my body hurts, I’m 22 and at the end of the day that’s my fifth rotation and I have to go to therapy.”
Regarding Biles’ comments, Leung said, “Our organization historically has silenced our gymnasts, and I am 100 percent supportive of giving our athletes a voice. (They) should be able to say what they feel and be comfortable doing so.
USA Gymnastics president says athletes should feel free to speak up
I agree with Li Li Leung.
But how far does freedom to speak extend?
Can Simone kneel on the podium?
From what Li Li has said, I’d say it would be allowed.
Imboden will likely be sanctioned. The USOPC prohibits athletes from making political, religious or racial demonstrations during events on the Olympic circuit.

So much Gymnastics greatness.
Congratulations to these athletes and their coaches.
#respect for Trinity and MyKayla coming back after a long College season to the most competitive Elite program in the world.
