I watched almost 2 hours of podium training and this is what i REMEMBER.

Ragan had 2 falls off bars on her release moves. Simone didn’t get through a single bar routine that I saw. Lets see, Simone did two beam routines and fell once and had issues with her landings both times but better the second. Riley fell on every event at least once. ( Didn’t pay much attention to vault except Simone who was bouncy but had no issues. Simone also nailed her floor. Emma had issues on floor ( Not gonna try and pronounce her name) Aloyna had huge issues on floor. Morgan fell off beam once but was but was fine the rest of the time I watched. Ragan has a new floor routine. I kind of liked the music but I think after awhile it will get annoying.( watched it again. Already annoying) Seemed like she had the same choreography. Chris Zmeskal ( yeah I know) was very helpful to Riley’s coach with the bars and moving the floor mats ( I didn’t see Kim) At the end of the meet the Texas dream girls and Riley were talking up a storm by floor. Then they moved to beam and had a photo shoot switching gymnasts. 3 of them kept doing the gator chomp but I forget who ( Morgan, Trinity??? and maybe Ragan. Simone at this time was off talking to her coaches by floor. Turns out I did see Kim I just didn’t recognize her. I saw the black and white outfit but it was too far away to see it was Kim.

Who has an opinion on this Simone interview?

Someone seems a little arrogant to me. Don’t know who the guy was dominating all the questions but he was clearly trying to bait Simone. Did she really say she is happy to save USA-Gymnastics? wow

Thank you Ragan. Boston likes you too 🙂
