loser on the internet

getting into a sports as an anxiety ridden lamb who hates losing is certainly a choice. a stupid one. that i've made

Kaori no matter what, it has been an honour to watch you grow and bring joy to the ice every time you skated. You will always be one of the greatests ever to do it 🩷🩷🩷💜💜💜

major pillar of sports viewing is my team sucks in a devine and biblical way and everyone else’s team just sucks because they’re bad at their jobs

so the question is how many other little rule breaks have been going on at literally every meet ever, Romania was the first to challenge it but I'd put good money that things like this happen in each and every meet

Saying Romania is an "influential and iconic federation" is hilarious to me bestie before these Olympics Romania hadn't been internationally competitive for like 12 years

although this is definitely mostly just FIG incompetence on display, I'm just trying to figure out why the US thinks they still have a case, although I do understand why they want to fight it to the bitter end

CAS reasoned decision is out

I’m tired of 4 year fans weighing in on this. This is a family matter. Please respect our privacy in this difficult time

so many layers to this whole gymnastics scoring scandal like clearly there’s an aspect of horrible anti black racism in the way jordan chiles has been treated on social media + xenophobia against romanians coming from american fans (which is i think driven to some degree by the fervent anti russia sentiments even though that doesn’t make any sense lol) + an aspect of perceived and actual favouritism towards usag as a federation by fig and judges for years that is now reaching a breaking point + americans convinced that actually usag gymnasts are somehow underdogs because romania won a bunch of medals in the 70s. and of course nationalistic jingoism on both sides 🤩

Tbh at this point don't give anyone the medal
