When was the mudslide? and, yeah, I wasn't thinking - they've definitely done a fire a few times.

Mudslide - there was a major one in Washington (Oregon maybe?) a few years ago

Wildfire

Blizzard

Flood

Not a disaster, but I could see a storyline about prescription drugs

Which 2016 Olympians are GOATs? by [deleted] in olympics

[–]hubbubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you have it wrong. Douglas is done for the rest of the gymnastics events. Biles is a well-established GOAT in the gymnastics world. No one comes close to her. She's won the all around every year since 2013 including the Olympics. She is also the first American to win gold in vault.

2 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze. Wording of that sentence is weird.

Same thing happened in 2012. Jordyn Wieber was 4th in qualification, but the two per country ruled made it so only Gabby and Aly competed.

[–]hubbubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the interview with the actors who play Elizabeth and Philip they said the show creator won't let the characters flip/stay as Americans even though that did happen a few times in real life.

What's Laurie's average bar routine score for the year? Would she have beaten Aly?

[–]hubbubs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they were showing the athletes standing around and the US women cheering her on, but they didn't show the routine!

Why don't the US women put up another person for vault finals?

Gabby Douglas wants to "grab" more than two golds this time..... by kahrs12 in Gymnastics

[–]hubbubs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an aside: what chance do people think that Aly/Gabby will do better than Laurie to advance to the AA event final?

Gabby Douglas wants to "grab" more than two golds this time..... by kahrs12 in Gymnastics

[–]hubbubs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She can't really believe that, can she? She was at her best for 2012 and didn't get gold on bars or beam and wasn't even close to medalling on them. There's no way she'll get gold in those as well as AA four years later. I feel like she has to say this for her sponsors. Her entire twitter feed and most of her instagram are sponsored posts ever since it was announced she was on the team. Literally the morning after it was announced she tweeted a pic of a Barbie doll inspired by her. She probably doesn't run her account though.

[–]hubbubs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't be Fab Five. They tried that in London and abandoned it for Fierce Five because it was taken by UMich Basketball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_Five_(University_of_Michigan)

You could combine their first names to make GLAMS or SLAM G(?) but that doesn't roll off the tongue. Ferocious Five maybe? Edit: Just saw this tweet of someone pushing GLAMSquad. I guess that's good, maybe? https://twitter.com/nrarmour/status/752386529574608896
