1. SO.  all signs point to chellsie memmel doin some swingy things on the bars again, and that makes me kind of excited (‘cos she’s MAH GERL y’all in case you didn’t know) but also a little nervous because she will probably just end up with a cracked vertebra or a fractured skull or something, knowing her luck. ;_;

    ANYWAY, the evidence is as follows.  please see this & this post by gymtruthteller, which have tweety evidence from her dad (and also leave me scratching my head about how many events she’s doing?  because 47.4 is either a really low four event score or a rather high three event score).  and these tweets, which beg the question…what is she doing this weekend?  idk, i have no sourcez.  maybe she did a polar bear plunge for the first time or something, idk. 

    idk!

    but.

    comebacks ferever<3

    they never fucking told nastia to smile more. fuck that. why the hell should aliya smile more? you know what’s appealing about her? the fact that she does really fucking hard gymnastics really fucking well and is the first russian world all-around champion since…

    a very good point, because nastia has indeed caught lots of shit for not smiling.  i would bet money (a small amount, because i’m poor) though that ig & dwight never threw any.  they have a huge hard-on for nastia which makes me rather queasy.

    it basically just sucks that gymn fans have to rely on them for news and such, since there is so little other reporting about gymnastics out there. 

     
  3. fuckin’ ig & shit, man

    they never fucking told nastia to smile more.  fuck that.  why the hell should aliya smile more?  you know what’s appealing about her?  the fact that she does really fucking hard gymnastics really fucking well and is the first russian world all-around champion since svetlana fucking khorkina and the first gymnast to qualify to all five individual finals at a world championships in damn near twenty years. and she didn’t even fucking slow down after doing all that, but competed a little more and threw some upgrades just for shits and giggles.  gymnastics is not about fucking smiling to make people happy and endear fans.  fuck that.  if they’re not watching gymnastics already, they’re not going to, dwight.  this isn’t the fucking nfl, and i guess you’re trying to make money with your “magazine” and shit, but it’s not going to fucking happen.  LEAVE ALIYA ALONE

    p.s. who the fuck cares about kohei’s haircut seeing as he’s the fucking best gymnast in the world two fucking years running and nobody’s gonna fucking touch him as long as he stays on his feet?  what is this, fucking 1965?  get a fucking life. 

    i feel a little better.

  5. BTW, I actually just landed my first double layout on the hard surface today and that is a HUGE step for me.
