On Wednesday's We Wear Pink (leotards)

[@nathanielhalls1893]

What about the double double tuck

[@triplefull7057]

@@nathanielhalls1893 Nah even though they have the same value the dos santos-1 is more unique and the double double is so common on floor. And her whole thing is doing rare skills Eg- Dos sanots-2,Illusion Turn,Hindroff on bars(Rare in 2008),Luo(Jam to handstand).

[@triplefull7057]

@@kameroncoleman9293 So last pass instaed of a double pike a 2.5 twist same value. Maybe even a front layout out of it. and twsting passes require far less energy than double flipping passes so that is not a concern

[@kameroncoleman9293]

@@triplefull7057 while that is an option i just think it's unlikely just because of what we've been seeing, you know? plus, there are a lot of things that can go wrong with the arabian double layout and i don't think the risk is really worth it rather than a double double, if you get what i mean.

[@kateh7484]

Seeing your signature dance moves makes me so nostalgic and happy.

[@__Tiziana__]

I'd love to see a little bit of Chellsie's flexibility training! Yes, I know that it may not be as fun and exciting as her supernatural tumbling, but her leaps and turns are so beautiful! Better than ever! Much love for her, Andy and Stacey, best comedic trio ever and amazing human beings. : )

[@Fernahnda]

I doubt she had to worry about it much if she was stretching along with the kids she coached. My flexibility came back really fast when I started coaching. The big thing would be the strength to hit those positions while in motion.

[@__Tiziana__]

@@Fernahnda Really? My coach was pretty average and she used to train her oversplits with us. In my limited experience, flexibility is quite difficult to improve: it requires dedication and patience, and you can't really focus on your own goals while you are worrying about someone else' safety/technique/posture. I agree with you, though: the most impressive thing about Chellsie's flexibility is the strength that supports it!

[@Fernahnda]

Tiziana Miriam It takes a lot of work to develop flexibility the first time but it’s a lot easier to get it back after time off. I know pregnancy also tends to improve flexibility. I’d be curious to know if that flexibility sticks around after.

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I didn't do anything special, I kept up with some stretching while pregnant and then stretched about three times a week as I started warming up an conditioning with the team. Thank you!

[@crissy7183]

You probably already know this Chelsie, but don't ever underestimate the difference you make, the lives you touch by showing us so much resilience, perseverance and passion for what you do. I am now at a hospital, fighting against this depression that has so many times tried to take my life. Watching you every week working so hard against all the odds and thriving , makes me want to keep going too. Thank you so much, love - Adriano.

[@GullibleTarget]

Go go go Adriano! I'm in the same boat. Not in hospital: I'm in a half open mental institution-thingy. We'll chase these clouds away, like we always do! Go Adriano! Rooting for you and Chellsie. Keep it moving!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@ChellsieMemmel23]

I appreciate that and wish you the strength to get through it!

[@speedstackinggurl]

Andy reciting a mean girls quote is literally everything. I should've realized she'd have old leos! I love the style of this one (I suspect it's Adidas) and tbh I LOVED the Adidas leos. I wasn't a fan of the early UA ones but they've grown on me. I feel like I haven't seen an Adidas leo in ages. I was mesmerized watching Simone do the laid out double arabian, but man watching Chellsie do it is glorious. Also not sure how I feel about bringing back "juicing lemons", but also love it because it's from a time gone by and none of the ladies are doing it today. Go Chell!!

[@keljells]

Chellsie!!! You’re beam is AMAZING! YOU are amazing! No matter where this journey takes you, you are doing HUGE things for the sport and for those of us out here watching you! I can only speak for myself, but I’m chronically ill and was once a level 10 gymnast that got recruited to college for track as a pole vaulter, my body used to be capable of so much. Lately, I get depressed at the thought of how much I’ve lost and where I’m at now, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not comparing Chellsie to my diminishing skills and physicality, I’m only saying that watching her gives me so much hope and push to keep on keeping on. She reminds me to never quit. Chellsie, YOU are doing so much more than you realize with this journey! THANK YOU!!!

[@klovenbree3030]

You are so strong and inspirational! Keep pushing and loving yourself! You are so much more than your physical abilities!

I love the leo's ♥️♥️♥️ (and andy's mean girls references 🤣) Realizing you were in the same era as Nastia and are now coming back is insane!! Like of course we all know your age, but putting it in those terms is so mind boggling 😭 Bring those 2000s leo's back!

[@Nickoli-pk5es]

I'm really hoping to see that Dos Santos II make it into your final floor routine. That tumbling pass is my favorite by far. I really miss seeing whip+whip+double arabian tumbling passes being performed as well. My dream routine would be Dos Santos II, Double double, Dos Santos I & DLO. I'm sure the Double Pike will probably remain the last tumbling pass bc of how perfectly you consistently execute it, but hey, it's just a dream routine, lol. Skills are looking great! Rooting for you! #Memmel2021!

[@alexkaitlinthomas]

Mustafina's whip+whip+ double Arabian was awesome. I think it was circa 2013 / 2014

At the end where he asked if you were ok shows that above all else, he values your health and well-being. I think y'all are taking gymnastics to a whole new level with your training.

[@anovemberstar]

yet another reason why 'older' women's gymnastics should be the new thing ... aside from their bodies being stronger, and being outside the other side of puberty, far les need to 'worry' but fat and muscle (things even out more in your 20s, in terms of body balance) is the mental and emotional aspects - puberty / adolescence is such a hard time for anyone - add to the the pressure of a sport and being on the world stage, of feeling the need to please those around you. . More confidence, more power - being less able to be bullied by coaches who push too hard at the gymnasts'' detriment. more even power dynamic between coaches and gymnasts. I've said it so many times, but i really woudl LOVE to see a move towards actual WOMEN's gymnastics -where countries can enter an 'older' team, ie over aged 20 r even 25

I totally agree. There needs to be a huge paradigm shift. Teenage bodies who may or may not have gone through puberty cannot handle the power and strength these more advanced skills require. A 16 year old Chellsie probably couldn't get those shoulders.
