[@karyon1007]

36:51 Seeing her with such a big smile on her face, even after the mistake on her beam dismount, is so heartwarming! She's always been an incredible gymnast, but she often seemed frustrated and anxious at competitions. I think NCAA has been very good for her. I do hope she's taking care of herself, because juggling school, training, and a business sounds incredibly intense!!!

[@ellenkeyes1073]

I was saying this too! I love watching her NCAA competitions and that's when she began to smile so much more.

From a girl from another country, USA, we all know your gymnasts, even if no one tell us that they are from America. The level of your gymnasts is from another world. As a fan of Gymnastics, it's a pleasure to see your competitions. Amazing, for real!

[@Kloetenhenne]

Many of them aren't elegant, though. They are all short and chubby looking. They don't have necks anymore and everything is just about power and tumbling and vaulting higher and higher. Watching old international gymnastics competitions the gymnasts looked way leaner and their performances used to be much more elegant.

@@Kloetenhenne I totally respect your right to voice your opinion regarding the kind of gymnasts you prefer. It's not my disagreement with you that makes it impossible for me to even respect you as a human being, but how you made a point out of body-shaming your non preferred type as you made your statement. That kind of behavior is nothing but despickable

[@nic5264]

@@Kloetenhenne Well good thing this is an elite gymnastics competition and not a modeling contest. Power makes it possible to do more difficult skills. Difficult skills are scored higher. If you have a problem with that, take it up with the experts that draw up metrics for success in the sport instead of gymnasts who are breaking records and inspiring people around the world while you sit there and body shame behind your keyboard.

[@ravanne3746]

Aside from a few small bobbles (which are to be expected at the first meet of the year - especially after taking two years off), Simone reminded everyone that if she's even close to being "on", there is no one that can touch her. These were not even her most difficult programs (especially FX) but she was calm and poised and seemed to be enjoying herself. She's up to 10 years older than her competitors and they couldn't come close to what she was capable of. If she decides to make it to another Olympics, I think that we are going to see some absolutely stellar gymnastics.

I will be happy if she wins, but it is a pleasure just to see her compete. Also , a shout out to Sunisa Lee. It is tough to get through a day when your health is not with you, and for her to compete at a level she is ! Hats off. And kudos to all the other athletes !

What's good is that athletes can see that if they don't make a World or Olympic team at the age of 16 that their competitive career isn't over. We're seeing so many coming back after taking breaks and out performing their younger competitors. There is something to be said about the maturity that these "ancient" ladies like Simone and Suni bring to the sport.

We don’t want to see girls pacing, drinking water, stretching, rolling their shoulders, getting chalk, sitting down, putting on their pants, yawning, waiting for scores, etc. We want to see those routines we can hear. We are gymnastics fans, not just one gymnast fans. It’s maddening! Simone’s red-haired teammate was only shown when she was standing next to her, and AFTER she vaulted getting a hug from Simone, NOT her actual vault. So sad for all the girls we didn’t see because we watched gymnasts just walking around or repeated slow-motion replays of routines we just saw, or clips from several years ago.
