Then Save the Last Dance for Me

My recap of the Super Six. Here’s a super extra director’s commentary of sorts (especially considering it’s a 7-minute video, but I just have a lot of feelings):

Y’all, I just wanna say how incredible that team is.  So many people have overcome alot in their careers.

From Peng’s devastating injuries sidelining her for two years, to Maddie Kocian battling injuries seemingly every year but always coming up clutch in a team final, to Gracie Kramer rocking floor this year after having such a hard time on the event, Kyla coming in this year stronger than ever, to Katelyn Ohashi truly falling in love with the sport again and having her best year to date, to Brielle Nguyen coming in and snagging a spot in THAT beam lineup and hitting when they needed her, Fish after injuries kept her from reaching her peak last year to become an awesome floor and vault contributor, Nia, Janay, the Glenns killing it after a redshirt year and the list goes on and on and on. 

The coaches too, ESPECIALLY Jordyn (girl has had a roller coaster of a year). They all knew they needed to change to put themselves in a position to make a real run at a title, and they made it possible. 

It was a truly amazing display of sport and an example of never giving until the final routine (or second, or out or play).
