Well said!

Basically

They can't compete, if they go pro. They're just now able to profit off their name, image, and likeness.

Yesssssss could not agree more !!!

True. But it actually has more to do with the new NIL rules in the NCAA

NBC commentary hitting a new low... maybe it's because the Eyros commentary was so insightful and respectful in contrast, but this competition's commentary was awful. Irrelevant Simone references were few, but the constant harping on Jade's Olympic mistakes, Jordan's supposed Olympic glory, Konnor's father passing away, Skye's trials injury... all very distateful. If they insist on dredging up last year instead of focus on the athletes at hand, they could at least hype up Leanne and Kayla for their world championship successes, but they hardly got a word.

@@claregallivan3863 you’re so right! And I HATE that they show us Skye’s trials injury and Jade’s vault video over and over again! It’s a bit distracting from what it’s actually happening in the meet and I’m sure the athletes don’t want to be re-living that

Ya exactly and they always say Jordan swooped in at the olympics and did this great thing and got the silver medal and hyper her up like she was flawless there. When in reality she stepped out of bounds on her first pass and sat down her second. Now do not get me wrong I like her but she did not have a great performance in Tokyo and they make it sound like she took over for Simone and performed just great and perfect and led the team to silver and it is all hog wash. ANYone on the USA team that was in the top 10 and trials could have pulled in the same scores overall. LOVE Jordan tho but it is what it was there in Tokyo. Also, Nastia is as annoying as Tim and just her voice tone alone jus sounds so dumb and all her outfits that are about the same as Johnny Wheir. Like Tacky Russian fashion. Just me me me. She is her biggest fan like Paris Hilton jus comes across as spoiled brat. Shannon Miller and Bart and Kathy and Amanda Borden are SO sO SO much better and should take over NBC stuff. Ugh

Rewatching this before this years season, they really don't know how to do commentary without Simone Biles to compare everybody too

I so agree the Judges were very brutal

That was a very classy answer she gave when pressed about Simone's future!

Yeah I like how she talks about the gymnasts the way most coaches would talk about athletes in other professional sports aka like equals rather than the ingrained mentality of gymnastics coaches seeing the athletes as helpless girls

@@Plaspos completely different from the day of bela and Steve nunno and those other toxic male coaches who made their athletes results their own accomplishments.

26 years. Wow. Too much for me. I guess I'm a young person anyway.

@@dana4751 I was only 8 the first time I watched it lol

@@CharlotteFurnessWriter that is amazing to watch I love this game mostly when women do it.

2nd place finish, 2 falls and less than 1 point margin 😲. I see Shilese doing great things in future if she will stop second guessing herself.

Not really, No falls is still more impressive than 2 falls

@@person3506 said only you

@@riquebusta8652 don't get me wrong I love her, but I think even should would agree that no falls is better than 2 falls

@@person3506 They didn't say "better" they said "more impressive" and it is more impressive to come in 2nd with 2 falls with less than a point difference

ik they low key look judgey af 😩 just my interpretation. i was like go her it’s not easy to be the one being carefree

Shades of vanessa atler

Me too

@@darlenesleeth-poirier1997 Please don’t even say that! Poor Vanessa.

@@ParisInTheSpringtime999 I know. The pressure is nuts I get it

I kind of didn't like how they said when it was one person they had a "target on their back." They didn't have a target on their back because they were one person, they had a target on their back because they were a jerk and treated the girls terribly and allowed them to be subjected to sexual abuse 😢

Every time they show it it scares the life out of me😭

Tiana in juniors if she keeps her current trajectory will be in contention, and if Zoe Miller cleans up her form on bars. Plus don’t forget Leanne who is a strong contender since she can go up on any event. In fact if I had to predict the team right now I’d put Leanne on it since I think Simone won’t do bars in her comeback: Qualifications: Vault: Simone, Jade, Shilese, (Suni) Bars: Suni, Shilese, Leanne, (Jade) Beam: Simone, Suni, Leanne, (Shilese) Floor: Simone, Jade, Shilese, (Suni)

@@Plaspos do you really think Simone is gonna make a come back?

​@@itsnolano yeah, before Tokyo, Simone was 100% saying she would retire and was ready to be done with gymnastics because she was exhausted physically. But, Tokyo didn't go how she wanted it to, so she still has a lot of unresolved successes (namely the Yurchenko double pike). The fact that she hasn't taken herself out of the WADA testing pool despite the hassle of being tested regularly shows to me she is seriously considering it.

lmao not Konnor, hopefully not Jordan

Agree. Jade has no rhythm. She reminds me of the 1980 white girl dancer. She needs to learn how to loosen up and learn how to dance.

Same here

Kelli Hill is not immune to abuse allegations. Hopefully as the people that were complicit and perpetrated the abuse the athletes endured retire we will have happier and healthier gymnasts. 🔥 USAG 🔥 has been a dumpster fire for years - it will likely take a generation to get to a point where nearly every single coach doesn’t have some sort of allegations against them.

Dominique Dawes disagrees.

I'm waiting for Shilese to blossom soon. Well, she's pretty good anyways.

Yes, she's looking good!

Yes, she's proving herself here. Correcttamundo

Yes, we'll see how long this lasts

Not to mention she initially tried to shush McKayla for speaking up about Nassar.

not at this time.

Nice landing

The falls are people with higher D scores.

@@rebeccaspellmeyer5761 but I think that proves that artistry deductions are not working. I think the artistry marks needed improving and I understand the deductions, I just think it’s gone too far in the other direction where they over deduct for artistry

yup...they don't even look alike, confused why that happened

they have completely different facial features, i think he just confused them because of their similar skin tone 🙄
