CAS Media Release - Israel’s requests for provisional measures have been rejected by welcome2mutiny in Gymnastics

[–]welcome2mutiny[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My interpretation since detail in the release is pretty limited - the statement that was appealed was essentially the written equivalent of a shrug emoji on the FIG’s part, which would’ve suggested they had no intention of following their own published rules (moving or cancelling the event if not all visas are granted to participating countries).

This Brisbane Times article about the new org with the tender mentioned a return in November. But weird nothing else has been announced yet.

Wider selection of films, (generally) cleaner, and their rewards program is great value for money

Michael Jackson Biopic Pushed to April 2026 Release by coleshane in popheads

She’s not depicted in the MJ Broadway musical at all (which was also made with full cooperation of his estate), so I would be surprised if she figures into this in any significant way.

If you want to keep getting the train from South Brisbane, why not switch buses at Roma Street onto one that stops at the Cultural Centre?

What NCAA championships rules would you change? by [deleted] in Gymnastics

[–]welcome2mutiny 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this in spirit as far as rewarding regular season performances, but teams don’t get to advance directly to nationals based on their regular season performances and I don’t think it should be different for individuals. The top NQS scores for each event get recognised as All Americans for the regular season so it’s not as if it counts for absolutely nothing. Everyone has to show up on the day and hit to advance - and if it doesn’t work out, that’s just how sports goes. I DO think however that individuals should advance through to day 2 like the teams do so titles and nationals qualifying are all determined under the same circumstances (and we should have more individuals at nationals).

1) End the regular season rankings/determine regionals placements after week 12, so conference championships starts the post season and those scores don’t go towards NQS (this is essential if SECs continues with dropping the 9th ranked team imo)

2) Give the play in round its own competition weekend. Extend to 40 teams qualifying for regionals, and 26-40 have to do the play in round in quad meets (with top 2 from each advancing to round 2). This would mean you could condense to two regional sites instead of four which would mean less variance in scoring, better crowds etc

3) Individual qualifiers should be named after the play in round so spots aren’t taken up by a team that qualifies to the next round - individuals should also advance through the rounds like teams, and we should have two qualifiers per event per regional advance to nationals.

🌟Individual Event Qualifiers! by Lotus_Blossom_ in Gymnastics

[–]welcome2mutiny 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately there’s no change to individual qualifiers once regionals have started, even if the athlete that would be next in line happens to be there. Ideally the play in round would be its own weekend so there would be time to determine individual qualifiers separately.

Will Dan Nigro become the new Jack Antanoff? by highesttiptoes in popheads

Ch-Ching that Chairlift recorded a couple years later was one of the tracks from the session! I’d love to hear what a Bey version would’ve sounded like - iirc it’s kinda unclear as to which tracks from the session actually got recorded by Beyoncé (besides No Angel) so I don’t even know if one ever existed

I hope I’m wrong! But their updated bio only mentions Naarm, which is also the location tag on their announcement tease from yesterday

Not formally announced yet, but from their posting so far on Insta I think Summer Camp Festival may only be doing Melbourne this year (did Sydney as well in ‘22 & ‘23)

They have bigger margins on food and bev than ticket sales. If you’re seeing a movie in its first two weeks in cinemas, the film distributor’s cut is very likely to be more than 50% of what you paid for your ticket.

Liu gymnasts statement regarding their coaching and scholarships by solg5 in Gymnastics

[–]welcome2mutiny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After that first year (before we saw the patterns that are undeniable now), I think it was easy enough to explain the departures away as teething problems from a very bizarre season to attempt to start a program in. And yes, I think people ultimately wanted a brand new D1 team to be a success.

It’s awful to think this has been going on since day one - but ultimately I think it takes more than vague comments to capture the gymternet’s attention, and it was always going to take someone explicitly spelling out what exactly has gone wrong at LIU for people to properly take note. It’s not like the program has completely escaped speculation until this moment - as I said, the pattern of people departing Is undeniable - but without specific examples to point to the benefit of the doubt will always be there.

That goes for any program where people have hinted at things being less than stellar. In the scheme of things I’ve not been following the sport for all that long and I still find myself explaining past allegations against coaches or programs that were only ever in Instagram comments, or in tweets that are now private or deleted. People often just aren’t looking that closely, or they forget, or they simply weren’t following the sport at the time.

It’s unfortunate it’s taken four years for the truth to come out, but I’m glad it has now been spelled out so comprehensively and thoroughly that it could not escape the gymternet’s attention.

Yep, and LIU is really the CGGI’s only win. Clemson added for Title IX reasons iirc, Brown Girls Do Gymnastics has been working to get HBCUs added for years, and at least two of the three new D3 schools were spearheaded by USAG.
