[Yiazmat]

It's on!

Will Hong Un Jong do the triple twisting yurchenko? Will Chusovitina land the Prod? So many questions.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lol My local university regularly sells out their entire basketball stadium (15k) for women's gymnastics meets.

Rio can't even fill 25% of this mini arena.

 

[Y2Kev]

Whoa dis ovah

 

[Wafflecakes]

Lets see if American men can redeem themselves. Big opportunity here.

Sam seems to spend more time perfecting his hair than training.

 

[Beefy]

Wrong thread.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why are they banning rolling stuff?

There should be a professional tournament around the country like swimming started doing with Arena Pro. That would be a fun meet to go to.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Why are they banning rolling elements? Are the uber dangerous?

Maybe the risk of landing on your head?

 

[Yiazmat]

Why are they banning rolling stuff?

Because it's too dangerous, if you do it wrong you're basically landing on your neck.

It's already banned on the women's side.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Floor looks so small with a normal sized person on it.

 

[giga]

Huh. Apparently the US has never won on vault. Let's see if Simone can change that.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

If she doesn't win it, I'm blaming you for jinxing it.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Jake won't medal, but damn is he a fine slice of man.

 

[Yiazmat]

Come on Kenzo

 

[Y2Kev]

Ban Jake Dalton from the US

 

[Yiazmat]

Noooooo Kenzo wont medal

 

[StormKing]

If she doesn't win it, I'm blaming you for jinxing it.

Already happened to Maroney. Hopefully Simone can break the curse.

 

[Y2Kev]

I want hair like this

 

[Yiazmat]

Sam is a mess.

Max Whitlock won gold.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Sam....

You are terrible at life.

 

[StormKing]

Something needs to be done about the Men's Gymnastics team. It's frustrating to watch this again and again.

 

[Y2Kev]

oh get off the ground you giant baby

 

[SamVimes]

Meh. I really wanted to watch this but it's not airing in my country.

 

[Brazil]

FUCKING CRYING

 

[weekev]

History is made. Britain has never won a gymnastics event before. Bravo Max Whitlock, now for double gold in the Pommel.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I think the most frustrating part of the American men is that if they performed up to their skills they would be competitive in almost every event.

Unfortunately we have a team of mental midgets.

Yeah they need to take lessons from your girls tbh.

 

[Yiazmat]

Women's Vault next. (after the medal ceremony)

Pray for Chuso.

 

[giga]

Hey I'm just stating facts. Biles can def do it but no worries if not, history is working against her. Also she already has two golds so I don't really care that much.

is she really attempting the produnova??

damn I'll be at the edge of my seat, not sure I can watch -_-

 

[Wafflecakes]

This is probably the most stressful event for the American women since they only have one member qualified, so if Biles messes up (lol) there is no one else.

and of course the shadow of what happened to maroney looms

but I think simone will be fine

I am still annoyed by that.

Love Simone, but Mikayla's vault (in the team final) was better.

We'll know in a few minutes.

 

[Y2Kev]

Simone is a machine.

 

[sphinx]

I am still annoyed by that.

I agree, there's that one amanar vault in the 2012 olympics by Mckayla that still hasn't been surpassed in execution to this day. I haven't seen simone do it better.

Maroney looked like a freaking computer simulation,

 

[Yiazmat]

Here they come

 

[Yiazmat]

Oh yeah Dipa is in this final, she'll be doing a Produnova too.

 

[RastaMentality]

Can't believe she actually tried that.

 

[Yiazmat]

Can't believe she actually tried that.

Right? Crazy.

 

[RastaMentality]

Right? Crazy.

They released that practice video of her being held up by her coach: http://buff.ly/2b3JcW4

 

[Y2Kev]

Do they drop the lower attempt or average them?

 

[Wafflecakes]

Do they drop the lower attempt or average them?

Average.

 

[Yiazmat]

Giulia is in first with 2 more to go!!! She will get a medal YASSSSSSS

 

[giga]

Why are they even attempting the Produnova? Because of Simone? Seems like it's an all or nothing at all tactic.

That is the only tactic that gives many of them even a shot at a medal.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

It's just too easy for Simone.
