So I'm watching the NBC coverage, some observations:
- Bridget needs to connect one of those releases to her shoot-over, she gets way too much swing out of them. And stop straddle-casting every other handstand and learn a skill on beam with a higher value than D, plz.
- Becca needs to stop with the one-arm balance checks after every major skill on beam. Now that I've noticed it I can't watch her beam at all, it's all I see. Her hair in the AA looked better than in the EFs, hopefully she can figure that shit out.
- I like Koko but with her difficulty, I don't really need to see her on a World AA podium ever again. She's clean but a little stock/boring.
- Kurbatova sucks and wtf happened to Ksenia? I feel embarrassed watching both of them. Boy I hope the Russian juniors materialize, the sport needs them. I don't hate the purple and orange leo though.
- Becky Downie, take your eyes off the floor! You're too good for that, perform! I still love that sparkly Union Jack leo, but if it were the US version I'd think it was trashy.
- I can't make up my mind about DLL. Sometimes I like her, sometimes she looks like a code-whoring junior/amateurish bot, albeit with pretty Chinese form. Of course she's only like 13, so it's understandable. I do think she stole Lauren Mitchell's gold on beam.
- Porgras does the Memmel turn on FX way better than Chellsie ever did. I actually like her, the first watchable Romanian in a quad. I wish they'd let her eat.
- When AL can even realize how much this COP sucks, you know it's bad. Its such a waste at a time when gym is actually gaining in popularity - I can't imagine what casual gym fans who enjoyed the last Olympics are thinking, tuning into this.
- LMAO @ Al's "You know, Bridget has never had the sass of a Carly Patterson" and wtf was his obsession with leos not being National colors. Who cares?
- Memo to the Trio: Causal gym fans can understand more about the sport than stuck landings. STOP WITH THE STUCK LANDINGS TALK. STOP IT NOW.
Okay I'm done.
Oh look, A-Sac and Sam are in an ATT commercial. Cute.
