Simone Biles Leads D-Scores At 2018 Gymnastics World All-Around Final

The world’s least respected coach thinks Simone “doesn’t look invincible any more“.

That’s absurd, of course. If the greatest female gymnast all time wants some serious competition she’ll have to challenge the men. I’d love to see MAG vs Simone on a vault table 130cm high.

I’ll be putting my money on Simone. 😀

coach John D. Smith passed away

If you ever met John Smith of NASA Gymnastics in Washington State, you remember him. You admired him. One of the classiest gentlemen in Gymnastics.

A real role model to us all in the sport.

He will be dearly missed.

John died of complications resulting from early, rapid onset dementia.

Rest in peace.
