OYO: I want Ellie Black to win an Olympic medal (Interview) Mckayla Maroney commercial

You all KNOW how much I HATE Canadians (The Vancouver Canucks, The Montreal Canadians, The Toronto Blue Jays, The Montreal Canadians, The Maple Leafs, THE MONTREAL CANADIANS, etc… and I used to dislike Ellie Black too because let’s face it her form is a mess, her floor routine is weak and has always bugged me, her beam routine (at one point in time) was literally just her throwing the kitchen sink and praying she would stay on and she’s Canadian so by default I have to treat her like a hockey team from Montreal.. Then she won an AA medal in 2017 because Worlds were held in Canada it was the last straw for me, Ellie became the Montreal Canadian of gymnastics and I was hell-bent on banning her name from my memory.

Until…..

Well, I don’t know exactly when it changed. She just gradually grew on me. She had been injured and came back at one of those gymnix or Elite Canada meets and I found her less annoying (gymnastics wise) than she had been to me in the past. She stopped trying to code whore a beam routine with skill after skill after skill and instead slowed down and started to perform… Then, when I entered the world of Instagram and followed every gymnast known to mankind, I started following Ellie too and she actually comes across as one of the most genuine gymnasts we have out in the world of fake niceness and hiring a makeup artist and hairstylist to take a “selfie” Instead Ellie worked out and laughed with her friends. Much like Claudie Fragapane, she as a person, I found to be much nicer than previously thought but it wasn’t until the 2019 All-Around during the World Championships that I realized I was wrong about Ellie. Not her floor because I still hate her floor routine but when she threw the Cheng and got hurt, I was gutted for her because damn it that Cheng looked great (Okay well better than Jade Carey’s) and she was this close to winning another AA medal and if you know me at all you know I actually love it when someone proves me wrong and Ellie did that day of the AA. With that Vault upgrade and that almost All-Around medal, well it put Ellie on a shortlist of gymnasts I want to see win an All-Around medal at the 2016 Olympics behind, Mai Murakami, Larisa Iordache, and Angelina Melnikova.. (Hey IOC, Can we award a pewter medal like they do at US National in Skating???
