I still bite my nails watching the scene in Witness when the kid is in the washroom stall, even though I've seen it a gazillion times. 2 5 Link to comment
emmawoodhouse July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 (edited) So, is NBC going to show us the floor or just announce that Suni won? Yes, I know swimming is live, but they only had gymnastics in the first 90 minutes of each broadcast. Edited July 30, 2021 by emmawoodhouse 1 Link to comment

Daisy July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 2 hours ago, SeanC said: CBC playing the Rosie puff piece now. She's arguably our most underappreciated Olympian in recent history, just because her chosen sport isn't one that people care a ton about. Her not being the closing ceremony flagbearer in London when she was the only gold medalist (that we knew of) was ridiculous. However she got to be the Opening Ceremonies Flag Bearer for Rio which (I personally think) is soo much cooler. (But yah not giving her the closing ceremony one was dumb) 1 Link to comment

alexa July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 Was it just wrong timing for them showing the team watching Suni win, or was Jordan the only one excited? The rest just sat there while Jordan jumped up to cheer. Maybe they missed a better moment and didn’t show it. 1 Link to comment

seasons July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 (edited) Ugh. Poor Jade. She seems like such a good kid. I wonder if she will decide to continue the sport. So glad to see Suni win the gold. I was kinda glad to see our girls - and other athletes as well - seemed to ditch the heavy stage makeup. But which has now been replaced by those fucking eyelash extensions. I hate them. They all look so fake to me. Like Bessie The Cow. Edited July 30, 2021 by seasons 9 3 Link to comment

From watching Jordan since 2017 she makes everyone else look subdued because she has so much energy. I think it was a bad shot since they looked excited on the feed this morning.

Jillibean July 30, 2021 Share July 30, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, scarynikki12 said: In recent memory (2016 I think) one of my favorite moment was from the online feed with Courtney Kupets. A gymnast did her full twisting double tuck bars dismount and was still in the air when Courtney said "she's going to stick" and then, when the gymnast did, went on to explain that the placement in the air told her that she had enough height to spot the ground and prepare her feet to land. Courtney herself did that dismount so she knew from personal experience what was needed to stick and it was so cool to see. She didn't do it with every skill of course but her own experience really informed her commentary. I like Nastia and think she does a good job but I think NBC doesn't let her really express her knowledge like they do with the online commentators. I think she'd probably give a ton more context to various moves like Courtney did if they'd just let her do it. I blame Tim but then I still blame him for Mckayla falling on her second vault. Having listened to both, I think Nastia overall did the better job. But yeah, Tim really makes it difficult to listen to. I will say that I didn't catch the three passes versus four on floor (and neither did Bridget and John) and Tim and Nastia pointed it out and theorized why she might have taken it out. 2 hours ago, scarynikki12 said: The commercial that Taylor Swift narrated was pretty good. Tim, I will pay you everything in my bank account to never say any version of "gymnastics 101, stick the landing". We know but shut up. I told my sister at dinner that he says it every night and it drives me nuts. When he said it tonight I felt her looking at me as I took very deep breaths in and out through my nose. Every time he says it he acts like it's so profound and hilarious and maybe it would have been if he didn't say it every hour on the hour. The friendship and support between Suni and Jade is beautiful and was a joy to watch. Jordan definitely seemed the most excited in the moment they showed, but this morning on the live feed I could tell something had happened in the second before we saw the score because of Team USA shrieking.
