@qqysarabian like how are we gonna be homophobic on main and then also do gay clickbait pick a laneeee

[yaptastik @yaptastik]

absolutely fascinating to observe the constant switch up cycle between “it’s so unfair that gymnast A doesn’t go to worlds because she only has one competitive routine” and “it’s so unfair that gymnast B got to go to worlds with only one competitive routine”

logging my niche crock theory now that Caroline Moreau is going to have some sort of massive skill growth closer to the Olympics & will be even better the following quad idk why but I just see it

[yaptastik @yaptastik]

this is actually a really great point. “team USA isn’t what it used to be” and “the veterans need to retire and let the younger gymnasts be at the top without the competition” are completely opposing views

The vets are back, and the bar just went up.

"It creates depth on our team," says USA Gymnastics' Betty Okino of the comeback wave.

And the newcomers? "They have to climb a little bit more ... and that's just going to raise the level." https://t.co/VjNhAd4Eqd

If making gymnastics look more like basketball is what it takes to feel “masculine,” we’re not solving the real issue. If the solution to the “girls’ sport” (his words, not mine) stereotype is a basketball-looking uniform, we’re just reinforcing it 🤷‍♂️

[yaptastik @yaptastik]

high key deducting more (or like, at all) for arm position in wolf turns would fix like 90% of problems with the skill. what’s zohran’s plan for this

[yaptastik @yaptastik]

tldr artistic gymnastics is a performance art and top gymnasts have to learn how to communicate something with their performance past “I’m nervously

[yaptastik @yaptastik]

honestly some ppl overcomplicate “artistry” wayyy too much. the best gymnasts express something about themselves as people through their routines. low key this is also why so many ppl are underwhelmed by “new” seniors vs “old” sr’s - most of the new sr’s haven’t learned how yet.

rip simone u would have loved to go 17 on floor at this championship

If you injure every Leanne Wong out of this team, then who is going to be doing whip halves, Donald Trump?
