I’m mad about it. It’s really Jessica’s baby so she can do with it what she wants, but I’m mad that she put Spencer and Kensley in a shitty position with her decision to not recuse herself because I know at least Spencer makes money off of the podcast, and now that people are canceling subscriptions and no longer going to listen, it’s affecting his livelihood as well, so that’s unfair of her. I. also know that Jessica has known about Alyssa’s abuse story for years (at least four that I know of), so she’s had four years to prepare for the day when her story would become public, four years to think about how she’d talk about it, and...this is what she landed on? It’s bewildering, honestly. I think she’s a smart person so I don’t understand how in four years of heavy discussions about abuse in the sport, she came out with “I’m choosing to believe this abuser while shaming the victim” and then apologized by being like “whoops I made a mistake, what an asshole?” I don’t buy that it was an in-the-moment mistake. It was a conscious choice and even if she regrets it because of the response she got, I don’t buy that she’s rethinking Alyssa’s claims or Val’s behavior, not if she hasn’t done that once since first hearing about it. It’s upsetting, but also she invited Maggie Haney into my hotel room without telling me, knowing about my history with her, and then after Maggie screamed at me when saw me in the room, Jessica laughed it off and called me a drama queen for getting upset, so...I have some feelings about her from that situation that color my thoughts on the Alyssa situation. But mostly I’m just disappointed.

“ what was the drama around poor lawyer on twitter “

Said that he and someone else are the only fuckable members of the Gymnternet.

anybody who picks ellie black over mostepanova or aly raisman over komova is objectively wrong and has terrible taste and i will give them all a lethal injection but ur at the top of my list before any of them :)

here is the fall in question 🤡

Translation of Nastia Liukin interview.

“So does the 2 per country rule exist so that the USA doesn’t sweep all of the medals at the olympics or is there another reason that I don’t know about?”

“I love Shawn Johnson and her gymnastics but the amount of times she’s said she was on the 2011 world championship team is kind of crazy. Like does she really think she was on the team? (And yes I know she was a non traveling alternate but she talks about it as if she competed there)”

“Wait! Simone is not training because her gym is closed! Whereas some other elites like MyKayla are still able to train, this could cause serious unfairness between athletes. I know Simone will be fine, and it’s in the interest of public health, but still.”

Yang Bo never fails to make me feel inadequate about my back flexibility

What is this!!! Viktor Kalyuzhin is dismount over the high bar. I think it’s a double double front tuck. I am so lost with this move. The only moves like this I have seen were from the 80s and were much easier dismounts.
