thegymnasticsnerd’s Rio 2016 Olympics Predictions Game Results

2016 P&G GYMNASTICS CHAMPIONSHIPS PREDICTIONS GAME

It’s that time of year again! I’m going to run another predictions game for the 2016 P&G Championships. The competition itself will be held in St. Louis from June 23rd to 26th, but before that there’s an equally important competition taking place!

Send me your predictions for who will be the top 3 in each event (VT, UB, BB, FX) and in the all around for junior and senior women. Before the competition starts I will make a post showing what people think will happen and afterwards I’ll make a post listing the winners (people who guessed correctly in either one category or overall).

IF YOU WIN: You basically just get bragging rights, but it can also be good publicity for your blog and a way to gain followers (including me).

Voting will be open from now until 10pm EST on Tuesday, June 21st. I understand that people will want to guess at different times, but please do it at some point because the more people who do this the better it will work. Also, please reblog this post and spread the word about it so that there can be as many participants as possible.

After submitting, please make sure that you receive confirmation from me within 24 hours, otherwise I might not have received them.

Send me your predictions here: http://thegymnasticsnerd.tumblr.com/ask

Please don’t be shy about sending in your predictions (I’ll only post about the people who get it right) and try to to share your predictions too much because I want everyone to have their own opinions!

This is the first predictions game of the Olympic season and I’m excited to be able to use this to see where public opinion stands on the gymternet!

HERE is the list of athletes who are competing. I will post start lists and any other news as it becomes available. If any gymnasts scratch certain events or withdraw from the competition after people have already made predictions, I will notify anyone who picked them and give them a chance to re-do them.

2015 Secret U.S. Classic Predictions Game Senior Results

Around 60 people sent in predictions for the top three finishers on each even and in the all around of this weekend’s U.S. Classic. These are the results for the seniors, who will compete at 6:30 pm tonight, Saturday, July 25th. Junior predictions results are here. Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Note: Although it was recently announced that Kyla Ross would only be doing bars and beam at this competition, she is still represented in the all-around and floor predictions because the announcement was made after the predictions game had ended.

After the competition, look out for a post naming the winners of the prediction game!
