Tom Forster – day after the team win

… day after the team’s big win and everyone needed the morning off.

The girls slept in and spent time hanging out at the pool. But the like true professionals they are they went to workout this evening to get on bars and beam.

… Team USA was on the job and rocked a great, but short workout. Morgan and Simone hit two great routines on bars and beam then got to watch the conclusion of the men’s team. …

The coaches have been very helpful to me and Anne Duncan Heffernon. Anne is also new to her role as VP of Women’s Program. She’s my boss and assists with anything the girls and coaches need. She has been a tremendous support and encourager of the new culture we are establishing. …

High Performance Team Coordinator. Some people think this role picks and coaches the Olympic team. That is not true. The Coordinator does very little coaching and sometimes none at all. The athletes’ personal coaches are responsible for coaching their athletes and that is how it should be. …

Sam Oldham needs your advice

He wants YOU to decide his H Bar release and dismount for @GymSuperstars next year. Comment on this tweet.

Artur Dalaloyan – before and after

A fantastic performance to win the AA.

Two days earlier after falling on P Bars.

Hey. Everybody falls. Take it on the chin. And move on.

Sam on the H Bar miss

I called Sam for the AA win. He looks super ready.

Heading into the 6th and final apparatus — his best — Sam was only about half a point behind. His usual hit routine could MIGHT make up that difference.

XIAO Ruoteng had missed Liukin in team two nights ago. DALALOYAN was no sure hit either.

But Sam was the one who missed. It happens. Kohei only hits 95%.

I’d love to see him win H Bar in apparatus finals. It’s going to be EPKEIC.

I liked Sam’s chances going into the sixth and final apparatus. But he caught the second Kovacs too close.
