Gymnastics watching on you tube while bored…

While my niece is using my bedroom as a shopping center (She’s currently using my face cleaner. My face cleaning, spinning thing and has my hair tie in her hair) I have been looking at gymnastics videos on youtube. Not sure how I ended up here( I was originally looking for videos on kitchen cleaners) but I am finding some stuff I didn’t know (or care) existed. This blog is happening because after about 3 minutes of searching twitter for gymnastics related news I was bored of listening to a bunch of so called, adults complaining that the “gymternet” should be nicer to people by a bunch of people who are complete assholes. The hypocrisy running wild…. So here we go….

Svetlana Khorkina and her very rare, Gainer full, on beam. I know this Gainer full is rare because the video says, RARE!!, in capital letters.

You know as unique as Khorkina was as a gymnast she really isn’t someone I search out to watch when it comes to gym videos. Occasionally I watch a bar routine but this beam routine has some quality to it. At least in 95. By 2004 she was messy….

Boginskaya is so overrated. Always has been but after watching this video for like 30 seconds we learn one of Svetlana’s coaches was Nellie Kim. That explains the 10 on bars in 1992. Nellie Kim coaching a gymnast and judging her at an Olympics? Not suspicious at all #RollingEyes I could try a positive blog but is that really me??? 🙂

World Gym Art on you tube has an interesting series titled, Most epic rotation ever. Which has some interesting opinions.. The United States of Amanar’s 2012 Olympics. (Ugly Amanar’s if I had been asked what I thought it should be titled but I wasn’t:) Not you Maroney) The 1987 Romanian team’s floor line up that beat the Soviets for the team title at Worlds. Okay… Romanians, 2004 Olympic Floor finals (Don’t think so) 1989 Worlds Floor line up… I was trying to come up with my own list of epic lineups and I am far to, detail oriented to ignore bad form and technique and chucked skills to ever prepare a list like this.

USFSA had a competition that took place a few days after Skate America (While the teams were still in the bubble) where they decided the competition would be a team format titled, Team Terror (Tara Lipinski) vs Team asshole (Johnny Weir) Alysa Liu competed and finished dead last. She seems to have gained some weight and gotten taller. Puberty has rared it’s ugly head. Hopefully she can get it together before the Olympics in 2022. Bradie beat Mariah. I cannot find full result…

Leanne Wong and her Amanar.. Piked and short on rotation but you know how USAG loves their Amanar’s

I am not a fan of College gymnastics but I am amused at the “Epic” group of gymnasts that signed recently.. Florida is rebuilding with Hurd, Wong and McCusker… Utah signed Eaker and McCallum.. The Elite gymnasts always end up at the same gyms. Seem’s kind of unfair…. UCLA, Signs, Jordan Chiles, Emma Malabuyo, Brooklyn Moors and Emily Lee.. Oklahoma does it their usual ways and always seems to find some diamonds from the junior ranks and they also signed, Jordan Bowers who retired not that long ago from elite. She was an interesting case as an Elite. When she competed she always seemed to win but she also had times where she would just tank entire meets. She was also injured quite a bit but I expect her to do really well for Oklahoma… LSU has signed Aleah Finnegan and Tori Tatum

A new blog will be happening in a few days for the return of Larisa Iordache who plans on competing the AA at Romanian Nationals (Saturday)

(Thanks Rocio 🙂
