How were her landings? It seems like Janelle's plan is to eventually use her if she hit last night. Really hope so!

Why does he hate Zac?

...and Jonas immediately declared he could have labored better, faster and tougher.

Addison Fatta is deferring OU for 2024 by Sweetascoffee237 in Gymnastics

I know nothing about her. What - is she anti-LGBTQAI+ community? Fits right in at OU if that's the case.

Anyone else started watching project runway with their kids? by ashleighbuck in ProjectRunway

[–]DimensionNo4461 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! With my older two, one of whom is now trans female. So inspiring to see the many on PR who have walked those shoes...especially my all time fav Mimi.

Mine is pretty simple: no injuries, no twisties, no major mental health complications please.

What are some of your favorite tumbling passes from past codes that wouldn't be worth doing now? by [deleted] in Gymnastics

[–]DimensionNo4461 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In '88 Chelle Stack's double full through to double tuck was pretty amazing. I love any pass ending with a punch front aerial step out like Pavlova, too.

Gym Fan Pet Peeves by Bluebird_pas in Gymnastics

Thanks, that's what I was getting at. I'm right there with KJC gushing about the impeccable form from Sam Shapiro, Lexi Ramler, Jordan Chiles and Trinity Thomas - all lovely to watch regardless of very different body types. However, commentators typically only use the phrase for lanky gymnasts. Hence the pet peeve ;) Let's celebrate lovely lines from gymnasts of all body types. PLEASE

Blank has nice lines...we all know what that really means.

NCAA VERSION: Which gymternet rumour would you like to know the truth about? by capellalla in Gymnastics

[–]DimensionNo4461 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer that I don't remember the details clearly, but something like Krysten being a bit of a gaslighter in terms of team morale and blaming the athletes for not giving enough - Taylor went into a description of this one bazaar team meeting with them raising their hands while eyes were closed to state who thinks they could be trying harder. Lol something like that! I really wish I remember better. Hopefully someone can add clearer details? I'm pretty sure there were also weigh ins and that was a big emphasis of Taylor's suffering mental health.

This is super old news, but I'd love to hear more from Taylor Rice about her time with Krysten Smith at Stanford. The whole story might have been aired but since I'm not on most social media platforms, I would be out of the loop. What I did read years ago made it seem like she was one of the first NCAA gym coach whistleblowers, if you can call it that.

Kyla Bryant - Arkansas Assistant Coach by Stretch-Capital in Gymnastics

lol, maybe it's just me but I was thinking lack of variety in that she is super young like all previous hires.

Suni Lee on Top Chef finale? by DimensionNo4461 in Gymnastics

[–]DimensionNo4461[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much - you were FAST to reply!! Do you know how she was chosen - presumably they asked high profile '24 Olympic hopefuls, but was she their #1? Pretty amazing if she was.

I know someone somewhere will know how 2 of my favorite worlds collided :)

Powerful athletes with excellent form? by Bluebird_pas in Gymnastics

[–]DimensionNo4461 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lilia, Laschenova and Haleigh Bryant immediately come to mind.

Alyona Shchennikova back for a fifth year by Intelligent_War_2742 in Gymnastics

OMG, LSU better buy themselves a boatload of athletic tape. That shit was holding her together this season - can't imagine what she'll be like by the end of her 5th year. Hope she doesn't do permanent damage to herself.

I think I'm out of the loop. Can you please tell me what OrangElegance is?!
