thinking about that time barbosu was asked to name a strong gymnast and she said raducan because she had her medal taken away

simone locked in her rio landings that was insane

best floor i’ve seen her do since tbh so i can’t even be mad at the results

romania survived 1st rotation of the 1st sub beam at the olympics. i can't believe it

Mary Lou Retton, a small government Republican who is or was worth $8 million is fighting for her life in an ICU. Her daughters have started crowdfunding because she does not have health insurance.

Said it before several times and I’ll say it again now for the anniversary: some of these heaux will never understand the absolute ecstasy of watching Russian team olympic gold happen in real time. They were not here for the epic highs and lows of the decade preceding that moment (mostly lows let’s be honest). Some of us invested our time and emotional energy into that flop ass national team that couldn’t cobble together a floor rotation if their goddamn lives were at stake. For 10 years. When they won junior worlds we were all like okay yeah whatever it’s junior worlds they’ll be retired before the end of next year probably 🙄. And then the p*ndemic. But no. They did it. They actually did it. They fucking won. It was a fever dream. Best day of my entire wretchèd life.

Akhaimova outscored jordan by almost a full point in QF I have no idea why this narrative persists that she’s totally incompetent at everything but vault. She was put on the 4-person AA team instead of being given a specialist spot for a reason!

She is Russia’s 2nd AAer in 2019. And also she made 2 floor finals in 2018 and 2019 Worlds back to back.

I can’t believe rebe is now olympic and world aa champion 😍
