I’ve never been so confident until this olympics that there is in fact judging and faculty bias towards the US team, not even just looking at floor final.
“Team final is 3 up 3 count AND they all must be at a high level of difficulty and execution, and this, you build with time. We managed in this time, to place 7th, with a lot of work, and so I say we need to be proud of ourselves”
the main problem I have with Sabrina’s fake OOB isn’t even the fact that it’s false, it’s the fact that the judges were really that petty to take out of bounds at the take off of the pass. I really believe if jordan did the same they wouldn’t of seen A THING
“I received a lot of positive comments and it really helped me, seeing that my country is rooting for me and I was able to give them sentiments of patriotism. It helped me in the moment because I realized how much love the country has for me” 🥹

my favorite thing about you is that you find every possible way to insert a Romanian gymnast into something that has absolutely nothing to do with a Romanian gymnast
“Many said ‘you can’t do it, you don’t have the level’. It’s not an enjoyable feeling, but I think we managed to overcome their negative opinions, because we were there all of us close together, and at one point we were making jokes about what this or that person said.” 1/2

when i first followed gymnastics online your website was the first site i was on!! Always read the “You asked, the gymternet answers” posts!
It’s frustrating as long time gym fans who understand gymnastics down to the TEA to see people spew out nonsense and really believe they know what they’re talking about.
@youwannacranson
it’s frustrating cause even if a gymnast fulfills the artistry requirements, the routine can still be uninteresting. There was a certain style of the 2009-2012 era that was peak “nice to watch” imo and its almost impossible to make rules that replicate it.
Talking about Nadia sending Ana messages of encouragement everyday:
“like wow the fact that i am talking to a legend such as her and something like this exists on my phone, like wowww, I am somebody, almost."
welp one positive from all this, incredibly cool that romania is once again in the picture for receiving olympic medals. If you told me 5 years ago that we’d be here rn, I would’ve cried!
“Yes not a lot of people believed in us and our goals, because we had goals, which were to make team finals, an aa final, and 1 or 2 apparatus finals, and we managed to pass this goal. When you work so hard and you have moments where you feel incapable, then you succeed… 1/2
Kinda wild that this whole olympics was looking very predictable and boring UNTIL BEAM AND FLOOR FINAL ON THE LAST DAY. ALL THE FALLS, SIMONE NOT SALUTING, ANAGATE, OOBGATE, REBECA BEATING SIMONE, SIMONE NOW IN A BOOT, SIMONE BEING PETTY TO JUDGES AFTER FLOOR
“Our coaches said, ‘girls, only we know why we are capable, we know how hard we’ve worked in the gym, and how much we can do’. So we kinda just made fun of all these comments and managed to get past them.” 2/2
i’m excited because Ana Barbosu’s ub score is gonna be so much higher if she manages to hit her handstands and have a good dismount like she did in PT. She was definitely playing it safe today which was smart tbh.

and the thing is i love the US team, it’s nothing against them, I just want fairness. I’m sure when Romania and the Soviet Union were the leaders in the sport, judges turned a blind eye to their mistakes as well!
