Chellsie, you and your team are so wholesome! It's been a pleasure watching you progress with your training - thank you for sharing it with all of us! xo

Is Rahdea your biological sister?

[@pretzelsfan]

rahdea going back to school feels like the end of season 1. now we're going to season 2... where shit gets real serious

[@cats7414]

Ohhhhh this is such a MOOD. I agree hardcore

[@bela516]

I hope she guest stars in Season 2!

Andy spotting Chellsie’s jams with the bread in his teeth is a complete mood. These two are such a treasure.

"I'm not gonna do something that I don't feel comfortable doing. If it feels off, or it feels like 'maybe you shouldn't do this," I'm gonna stop. I like my shoulders. I like my body, I don't want it to be broken." AND THIS IS WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE HEALTHY, SAFE ATMOSPHERES ADULT MINDS IN GYMNASTICS

[@confusedclarinetgirl]

Simple truth: Chellsie, the family and team are an inspiration. Positivity, humour, resilience and tenacity. We'll truly miss Rahdea in that. Hope you smash it at college, Dea! x

[@madreep]

I'm going to miss Rahdea. She brings an entirely different vibe that works well with Chellsie's and I think that they really push one another to be better. We all need a friend like that. One who knows when to push as well as when to back off. It's been alot of fun to watch.

[@chrissyjoy08]

You basically said exactly what I was thinking but didn't know how to put into words ❤

[@buzzard6410]

Rahdea is that perfect sassy sister

[@centrebalance539]

yeesh. no. I'm so glad she's going back to school. Her negativity and apparent dislike of actually training drives me up a wall from probably thousands of miles away. In person I'd lose my mind.

Chellsie mildly terrified of a switch leap mount... Then easily does multiple mounts. Let's go 💪🏽

once you get past that first one, it's if not smooth sailing, then MUCH less choppy waters

[@lisastiles1408]

Aaron Jordan Shall we fans start debating what she should connect it to? 😎

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

I super relate to that. Leaps just go so so so wrong when you miss that single foot. Saltos where you land on two feet? Eh, at least if you miss the beam, you're still landing on both feet together😂😂 Leaps be triflin😆

[@pretzelsfan]

the speed at which ur giving us content.... UNMATCHED

[@Elong.]

She does have a team filing her though

[@chrissyjoy08]

So I was just reading in the comments, someone mentioned the jam is actually more about flexibility and it's more the releases that bother her shoulders. I found that interesting to learn. At any rate, I know that she is very in-tune with her body and won't do any skills that she knows are bad for her body. That's one of the things I appreciate so much about her comeback. So even if a skill looks scary or potentially injurious to me, I remind myself I'm a watcher and she's not only a World Champion and Olympian, but also a very smart gymnast. ❤

[@winnifredfredrickson6418]

I can’t wait to watch her bring the jam back! It’s such a classic Chellsie move and her comeback wouldn’t be complete without it!!

[@AngelaHahn-r9h]

we're literally watching history in the making - regardless of what happens with the comeback (obviously hoping for good things), just the fact someone who took an almost 10 year break and had two kids is training these skills \(^o^)/

[@mariahstieve4958]

I vote yes in the new beam skill! It’s so beautiful. We need more artistry back in artistic gymnastics. Too much focus on pure strength and throwing the biggest skills. Your beam reminds me of the early gymnastics I fell in love with.

[@adjappleton]

And her leaps are ah-maaaa-zing!

[@mariahstieve4958]

Yes!!

[@patricia2034]

Agree.

[@julienixon2686]

These posts are such a treat. I am always checking for the next update. What an inspiration Chellsie and her dad are and an antidote to the horror stories of abusive coaching. Even if Chellsie doesn’t make the US team (I really hope she does if that’s what she wants to do) this “comeback” is a massive achievement for her personally and paves the way for a positive future for gymnastics.

[@tomasduarte6633]

[@littleflower9536]

Doing sports as an adult - one of the best things is knowing our body!!! When to push, when to rest; what “pain” is normal, what pain is true pain and indicates an injury is imminent without rest. I am a runner who got injured a lot in high school and college. Now I can up my mileage and stay healthy because I’m in charge of my training and I run purely for enjoyment. I can rest some days, push it some days, and I also know a lot more now about caring for my muscles (rolling them out, which stretches to focus on).

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

It's amazing isn't it!! Glad to hear you are still running just for he enjoyment of it!

[@SaintHaHaLOLZ]

know someone asked this prior, but a Jam is more similar to a seat circle than an inbar. The body momentum goes in the same rotational direction for the jam and seat circle, but opposite for inbar.

[@meiraloraduncan8953]

Rahdea good luck going back to school. Please make safe and healthy choices and kick butt in your gymnastics routines, practice, and competitions. Hopefully your school won’t have to shut down like some have already done. Chellsie you keep knocking it outta park because you have so much power and height that you can easily add extra to your vault, floor and beam routines and dismounts. You are right up there with Simone, actually you were the first Simone so she should be called the next Chellsie because you were doing more difficult and complex skills than any of the other females and even some male gymnasts which has always boggled my mind that Martha and Bella and the other coaches didn’t give you credit or respect for all that you could do for the team. Constantly putting you as an alternate when you should have been on the team. You proved it every time you had to replace whoever got sick or injured. You still competed when you got injured so you could help the team win. I still get angry while watching the video about the worlds where you won over Nastia. They didn’t celebrate your win , give you the respect you deserved. Instead they kept harping on about how Nastia lost by 0.01% . You had much harder routines and higher start values than she had and you performed beautifully and she did not. It’s because of all of that and how they treated you that I am supporting your comeback so you can rub it in their faces and show the world how amazing and incredible you are and that women don’t have to peak at 15-18 years old. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.👍🏻❤️🥇🤸🏻‍♀️❤️

I love the jam, and it is iconic Chelsea. But with all the shoulder problems she's had, I was kind of hoping she wouldn't go there. No one knows better than she does what her body is capable of, but if it turns out to be ill-advised, she can always create a new iconic move. 🤗

[@ryanbeard5766]

What’s amazing is I think she knows her limitations on her body and during her comeback her shoulder doesn’t seem to be an issue to her. Specifically when she was doing her hindorff she said she felt zero pain in her shoulders. I’m hoping she does the jam but obviously if it starts to hurt her she probably won’t end up doing it

[@Appaddict01]

Chellsie has said the jam doesn’t bother her shoulders it’s just flexibility. She says it’s the releases that bother/hurt her shoulders.

[@noahrosenzweig5592]

Appaddict01 no matter how many times she says that nobody will get that the jam is just a flexibility move she’s well prepared for
