He feels the plan to raise difficulty start score over the quadrennial did work.
USA should be even stronger at the Paris Olympics. They have a lot of depth right now.

coach fired for calling gymnasts ‘beautiful’
Lindsay Nylund was fired from his role as a high-performance coach … in Sydney (Australia), in May, after he sent an email to parents with a picture of his winning team, describing them as “beautiful”.
“Hi all … Our beautiful FDLC Level 8 Women’s Artistic Gymnasts,” he wrote in the email in February, following a competition win.
… “Parents were outraged [over his termination], the coaching staff were outraged, everyone was outraged … Most people are flabbergasted, they can’t believe it. They think this is ridiculous.” …
Determined to get his job back, Mr Nylund has taken the case to the Industrial Relations Commission. …
According to The Australian, the council listed three other allegations in their termination notice, including that Mr Nylund “showed a lack of respect to management” by allowing a one-week membership fee freeze when it should have been two weeks.
He also allegedly transported athletes without parent consent and attended a social event at a local club, which the council claimed breached Child Safe Practice guidelines. …
A four-day hearing at the NSW IRC has been set for mid-November.

Uchimura making a COMEBACK
We can ASSuME he’s been inspired by Simone.
It’s either a comeback, or he’s messing around with his team for fun while they celebrate Japan’s gold medal in Men’s Team. 😀
JPN, CHN, USA
As many expected, China was suddenly good during Team Final.
In a 3-up, 3-count Final, it’s difficulty and falls that most decide the ranking.
Do you risk the big Vaults?
Should you take out difficulty anywhere to play safe?
It was a thriller. Every team had at least 1 fall.
Personally I felt USA was stronger than GBR this time. And if you add Brody Malone to this team for Paris, the States will be a medal favourite.
