Will you be watching with a non-gymnast? 🙂

Ellie Black 5th AA in Rio

Ellie‘s best international competition ever. 5th all-around.

Ellie Vault

NBC Prime did not bother showing any of Ellie’s routines focusing instead on Seda’s terrible day. 😦 Serious Gymnastics fans and coaches should avoid NBC Prime’s edited version of international competitions. All of the available alternatives are more objective & show more routines.

Amanars – Hong un Jong & Aly

Click PLAY or watch Aly’s (much improved) on YouTube.

Both got 15.766. Clearly the judges over-scored Aly in comparison. 😦

Shallon Olsen – Amanar

Canada’s 1st Amanar. She’s been waiting for years to compete this. Busted it out at the Olympics of all places. 🙂
