Louis Smith should be reprimanded
Louis has made many mistakes over the years. Seems to enjoy controversy.
Though this one is more juvenile than anything else, I messaged British Gymnastics recommending he be reprimanded. His reaction to the public furor was undisciplined at best. He’s a bad ambassador for the sport. This behaviour is exactly what we want to discourage. 😦
Carly Patterson said she didn’t mind, if that’s a factor.
As a one apparatus contender on one of the best teams in the world, Louis should be doing everything right to stay on the A squad. There are a dozen guys waiting to step into his place.

Komova stops training
Vika:
‘Dear friends, fans, and gymnastics lovers. Unfortunately back pain isn’t allowing me to train to my full potential and get ready for competitions. I’ve made the very difficult decision to stop training and take care of my health. I want to thank everyone for their support! Without your love and warmth it would’ve been more difficult to go all the way. Thanks everyone and see you soon! Love and kisses.’

when Wolf Turns go bad
I don’t mind Wolf Turns, actually. Since they are overvalued in the Code, however, judges need be severe in evaluation. They’re not often well executed.
Balance Beam Situation provides comic relief. 🙂
