    Parents Just Made Team, Any Advice or Tips?

    I tried to use quotes, but for some reason it didn’t work. I am sure you don’t realize it, OP, but you are telling a mom whose kid is an elite on the national team she is patronizing because she is telling the truth about gymnastics. And others are also telling the truth about gymnastics. No...

    WAG Current Qualified Elites

    No, if you had read my reply, you would have seen that I meant the kid was a 3 when mine was, and then did 7-8-9 and HOPES, while mine did 3-4-6-7. Simply illustrating how talented those crazy kids are.

    Parents Weight issues - advice needed!

    All I will say, because I’m afraid of anything else sounding just awful, is NO. You do NOT say anything. Period.

    Parents Update - possible change but long commute - input appreciated!

    I agree with the others to give it a shot. We drove that far for four years and don’t regret it at all, even though mine ultimately transitioned to dance (which is now “only” 35 minutes on a good day). I am glad we gave her the chance to succeed and feel we would have regretted not doing it.

    WAG 2021 World Championships

    I thought they said Konnor’s injury was worse than they thought and she needed surgery on the last episode of Golden but I could be mistaken.

    Gold Over America Tour

    Simone has said she will do the tour….it’s a very, very watered down version of gymnastics, so it should be fine. Suni is going to Auburn, and will not be on the tour unless something changes.

    irritated with USAG and Simone crew

    Kayla has one more year of high school and is committed to Florida.

    WAG 2021 World Championships

    Shilese was supposed to go to Florida, right? But, never signed a NLI? If I’m not mistaken, Konnor also had surgery.

    Riley is in Florida already, I believe to start college. Emily Lee ruptured her Achilles, no? So, she probably won’t be there. Skye has also been injured, and I believe had or is having surgery.

    Parents optional skills list

    This list is pretty good. It’s older so there MAY be one or two inaccuracies, but it’s helpful. https://emethgym.com/team/team-parent-resources/skills-defined/

    irritated with USAG and Simone crew

    If Simone hadn’t been there for team, AA, and presumably EF, people would criticize her more, that’s a certainty. They would say she is “pouting” and “not supporting the team.” She cannot help the media focus on her. I’m 100% sure she didn’t ask NBC to broadcast her ankle being taped multiple...

    WAG humble and modest gymnasts

    Based on episodes of Golden, Suni’s family definitely is not well off, and I found them to be very nice and down to earth. Simone’s adoptive parents were quite well-off when they adopted her and her sister and obviously, she is a multi-millionaire. That shouldn’t be held against her.

    Women’s AA Predictions Now That Simone Out

    Guess I was wrong when I said it wouldn’t end up that way!

    Women’s AA Predictions Now That Simone Out

    That’s tough. I would love a podium of Andrade, Suni, and Melnikova in whatever order but doubt it ends up that way!

    WAG Forgetting the mistakes in competition at the Olympics

    So, on another forum, someone broke it down and US and ROC tied for first with D score, but US was 4th for E score, mostly because of floor where they were last (in team final). Their E scores were 2nd on every other event. I just found it interesting because I think traditionally, we have...

    WAG Grace McCallum?…… (US Olympic Team Discussion)

    What you aren’t understanding is, it’s not always about math. It’s about looking ahead and running scenarios. I care ZERO about what Myk would have added in quals because it doesn’t matter. Enzyme matters is qualifying to finals, and having the Mac number in each final, and then how the team...

    WAG Grace McCallum?…… (US Olympic Team Discussion)

    Actually, I think it’s more just the “pro-Skinner” attitude that’s all over social media than anti-Grace.

    individual qualification

    And in 2016, they took Kocian simply for bars. So, someone had to sit out bars. It ended up being Laurie, even though Maggie complained about it.

    WAG Grace McCallum?…… (US Olympic Team Discussion)

    How is it hand picked when it’s what literally occurred?? And, as I said, Grace lost 0.6 in D score on beam on a fluke on beam because she didn’t get credit for her dance series. I would not expect that to happen again.
