anyone know how to watch american cup from the uk?

usag will most likely have a stream on youtube for anyone outside the us afaik. they’ve streamed nastia liukin cup and scam pt so they have it set up it seems

thank you! :)

Or you can try watching it here: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/live/ I think it needs an American VPN but besides that it should work

it doesn’t work…besides a vpn, they ask you to sign in with one of their partner accounts :(

It’s like they don’t want people to watch this competition… 😒

okay everyone, which was your favorite routine of 2018?

I’ve been thinking about this recently too. It’d force the athletes to be paced a lot slower in their careers if they ever want to be world champions or make it to an Olympics (considering how many retire by 18 or earlier) and although there’d probably be a decline in the difficulty of skills (considering a lot of the harder ones are performed by the younger athletes) I think it’d be better for the sport in general

I beg to differ has this person seen Levi Jung Ruivivar yet?

^^^ she’s the first one who came to mind for me as well!

Digressing off: has Shelgy officially retired? I remember she got that weird gash injury thing and then doesn’t seem to have been training at all since then, and her Instagram is just permanently Hallowe’en so idk what’s going on

YES I DO because it says “NIP” across her chest and that is obv very funny.

let’s be honest, Worlds are 20x more hilarious and entertaining now that everyone uses social media all the time

It would have been so awesome to see the Galiyeva-Gutsu thing happen on Twitter

omg yes a tumblr fire before its time ….

I feel like Khorkina and Valentina should actually have Tumblr already, it would be a better way for them to get it all out

Honestly we all thought Doha would be a repeat of Montrehell and WAG did suck, but we should still be happy because there was only 1 injury (please get better Andrey Medvedev and fuck Taishan) compared to the 10 billion in Montrehell and MAG was lit and Tingting became beam world champion. :)

Cereghetti as well on the WAG side - hope she recovers fast! 

Ugh now I’m thinking about the stupid vault code and about how people can and do medal on vault with a fall and they’re not even wildly dominant and the greatest of all time on the event like all you gotta do to medal on vault with a fall is do hard vaults and be really good but for the rest of the events if you’re gonna medal with a fall you’ve gotta be so absurdly dominant and I don’t know how to fix the vault problem but it’s a problem like vault scores in general are a problem owing to the fact that it’s just 1 (or in the case of finals 2) elements instead of 8+ and the FIG obviously doesn’t care but I wish they did

Right? I’d be interested to see what the worst vault E score has been so far this CoP. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything lower than a 7, and that would be the shittiest trashiest vault to ever not score a zero. Whereas a beam routine like Golgota’s in AA finals here, which was shaky and wobbly but largely successful in that she did her skills and didn’t fall, got around a 6.5 E score. You can basically crap up your vault ENTIRELY and as long as you land feet first and it’s vaguely recognisable as the vault you were aiming for, you’re going to get a reasonable score compared to the other apparatus. It’s ridiculous to judge what is essentially one skill the same way that you judge a whole routine.

scrolling through my dash is wild bc i’ve always felt like the only one who disliked nina but now i feel the need to defend her lmao

Someone on Twitter said Lorrane is injured

HALF AN HOUR LEFT UNTIL TF

oh god oh god oh god WHY DO I ALWAYS GET MORE NERVOUS THAN THE GYMNASTS EVEN
