Dominique is such an ultimate pro that she was able to recognize that the gymnast/actress in the American Anthem movie was really doing her routine. That was Maria Anz, a collegiate athlete in that era who won the 1984 floor exercise individual Championship for the Florida Gators.

The Vaseline on the teeth trick, my cheer coach when I was little used to make us do that 🙄 The idea was it would make your teeth slippery so it would be easier to smile but all it actually did was make it feel like you had gunk all over your teeth. Ah, the ‘90s.

The context of that "Stick It" beam routine was important: The gymnasts had decided to flout the rules and traditions of the sport after one of their teammates had been penalized for a visible bra strap, which is why Weiwei was breakdancing instead of doing more typical movies.

Phil, I wasn’t even born for the ‘96 Olympics but watching Kerri Strug go back out and finish her routine on a bad ankle is beyond amazing and inspiring even now. Simone Biles should’ve watched that before deciding to quit on her teammates. She won’t be able to live that decision down. If she needs her pills to compete, to focus, then she shouldn’t even have been going to the Olympics. What I think she should do is not retire, and what she should do instead is come back for 2024 Paris Olympics to erase what happened this time around.

pretty sure it's the same as Figure Skating where it doesn't happen in Real life competition since the darkness makes it hard to see where you're landing. It's done sometimes in exhibitions or shows where gymnasts will do less risky moves so they're less likely to injure themselves. I guess they do it in movies to make it more dramatic.
