2018 Worlds WAG AA

[@elizabeth5985]

After Simone's fall on beam she says to the cameraman: "Can you back up?" because the camera was stuck in her face when she was upset. I wish more gymnasts would do that. And yet he didn't move! So Laurent, her dreamy coach, gets up and stands in front of the camera and so they had to cut away. That gave me chills for some reason. Like I know I'm just a little girl to you, but respect my space. And also Laurent= 😍 It happens here: 55:51

I was just watching a competition from 2013 where Madison Kocian injured her ankle and I noticed Laurent also stopped a cameraman from getting close to her. Poor Madison was crying and all the cameramen were all around her, so Laurent took her to another spot, but one cameraman didn't get the hint and still tried to follow her, thankfully Laurent saw him coming and told him to stop.

The camera person should have been removed from that area and given a stern warning. I’m a track and field official at the elite level and have had camera operators removed from the venue entirely for not respecting the athletes personal space and the safety regulations (I work the throws which can be horrifically dangerous if you are in the wrong place). I actually once had an NBC rep come and start giving me a tongue lashing for chastising one of his camera operators for going into a restricted area. My chief had HIM ejected 😂!

When I had a kidney stone all I could do was lay in bed and cry. And that was with narcotic pain meds. Simone has a kidney stone and wins the World Championship All Around. That woman is as tough as diamonds.

[@randomvintagefilm273]

She must have been taking pain medication. I'm a nurse and have seen people who really have kidney stones. They can't even walk so either she was using that as an excuse for her fall or she didn't have them at all.

[@kateskate6960]

@@randomvintagefilm273 They're drug tested so she couldn't have been taking any rx meds. And she was at the ER & diagnosed before the competition even started. The gymnasts routinely compete with injuries, so maybe she's used to pain & can compartmentalize it.

Side note, love how Simone told the cameraman to move back, and when he didn't listen, Laurent just stepped right in front 😂

She turned around on the bar and scooted her hands to prepare for the dismount instead of doing a proper skill or full swing that puts her in position to dismount. This doesn’t count as a deduction as far as I know. It looks a little sloppy.

Mai had a higher difficulty score. Yes, she stumbled out of the turn, but the rest of her routine was clean. Mais beam was better than Morgan's so all things considered, Mai deserved the silver.

Just bounce, bounce, hop, hop... like how Tim described her vault landing was pretty dead on for what she always does: "kind of hopped all over the place there!" For real- she DOES hard stuff & can perform high difficulty skills, and she looks like she has cleaned a lot of it up over the last few years that used to look pretty sloppy& has really become much more of one of the top contenders- but dang, can SOMEONE get that girl a trampoline & tell her to go bounce on THAT thing for 30mins a day & get all that friggin HOPPING out of your system before coming back to perform your GYMNASTICS LANDINGS?! Cuz girl, you've SEriooouuusly just gotta knock off that hopping on ALL of your landings! She could score like a full point or more better overall if she quit HOPPING!! Gah it just a drives me crazy!

I definitely understand what you're saying. They are, however, doing commentary for an American audience, not a world audience. That being said, I don't think most Americans actually feel they're so superior to other countries (I know I don't feel that way at ALL). He wasn't being serious, he was being funny. Maybe that doesn't come through very well on a world stage. Maybe it's an American thing. I can see how it could be misinterpreted as ego or superiority. I don't even care for the guy's style, but it was definitely a joke. Not a particularly funny one. I think we Americans come across as cocky to other countries. We definitely have our share of outspoken jackasses (ahem....Trump!), but we mean well. I think we're just lucky to be a relatively young country that hasn't seen as much woe as other countries. We're kind of like the youngest kid in a family whose older siblings had it tougher than them. I'm sorry it comes across as brash and crass sometimes.

Knock it off with the Simone Biles thing. She's far from perfect. She over powers too much and is given immunity for it when other gymnasts are not cut a break.

[@marybins5027]

She isn't "cut a break" she just has enough in her difficulty score to make up for her mistakes. She gets the same deductions as any other gymnast would get but her form in the air is very clean and mostly you only see her off in landings from having too much power, mostly on floor and occasionally on vault. She has incredible difficulty and mostly clean form.

[@marybins5027]

Not to mention, she has a kidney stone in this competition

[@SnoopySubo]

@@marybins5027 Some people do not get it. Simone Biles can fall off a beam, step out of bounds on floor and fall on her butt in the vault and still win because her degree of diffuculty is very high. None of the other gymnasts have that in their routines. Don't get me wrong, I can't even do a cartwheel and to me that is a risky thing far less for what all the gymnasts are doing. I admire all of them but my feeling is Simone does some thing, I cringe just looking at what she is doing in the air. If they want the same results as Simone, they must put more difficulty in their routines. Just my opinion.

[@lizmiller7681]

Tina Huston - It’s probably going to be years before they knock it off w the Simone Biles thing, bc she is the biggest thing in WAG since Nadia. And, she does not get “cut a break” when she makes a mistake. She gets penalized just like the others. This is a US channel, they’re going to talk about Simone, and US competitors.
