Chinese Gymnastics

where has this kara eaker been all my life omg

imprisoned by al fong routine construction

*straightens tin foil hat* there is something to be said about sydney 2000 then 9/11 roughly a year later and the huge surge in patriotism and then the smashing success of 2003 worlds and team USA and then the nbc quasi militaristic fluff about the national team (and the true birth of The Ranch and national team camps being so fucking insane and intense) and just all the fanfare about team USA after that point. then their objective success rode them out of that wave into legitimate celebration of results. hmmm.

"these artistry requirements are unfair because some gymnasts are never going to be good at those things no matter how hard they work" yeah and some of my favs will blow out their ankles before they ever land a silivas but i'm not saying we should change the code because it's unfair that other people are rewarded for being capable of harder tumbling

well i guess earlier this year oys was literally dead/i thought it was all over for her after the surgery, so hitting ¾ beam routines, being the most consistent chn wag in tf, and top 8 aa finish with mistakes is much much more than i imagined a few months ago

(Jade ends the comp as the most decorated gymnast with 2 golds and a bronze)

I almost had everything I wanted but I’ll take an unbroken tie if it means Rebeca wins another medal

REBECA WILL MEDAL GOD IS REAL
