A smiling, giggly Chow always makes my day better.

Also my new favorite Canadian leo.
Laura Zeng is currently the most decorated athlete at the 2015 Pan American Games
What level team did USA send to pan ams? I remember last time it almost seemed like a level C team. I'm not trying to discount these girls abilities as they would be on any other country's A team, but because of our depth how do they compare?
You know, I’m really not sure… so I’m gonna rank the whole US team into A-D teams based on recent AA scores, experience and some subjectivity (my opinion). We’ll see where they land. I’m only pulling scores from last year if they don’t have any posted this year/their score this year is a major outlier (e.g. Kyla). A Team:Simone - 62.299 (AC)Bailie - 59.5 (J)Aly - 59.1 (J)Gabby - 58.9 (J)Kyla - 58.232 (WC AA) B Team: Alyssa - 58.7 (J)Mykayla - 57.832 (AC) Maggie - 57.5 (J)Maddie D. - 56.9 (J)Ashton - 30.35 (P&G, 2 Event)
C Team: Megan - 57.15 (J)Rachel - 57.0 (SC) Amelia - 56.5 (P&G) Madison K. - 55.966 (WC QF, returning from Injury) Felicia - 42.85 (P&G, 3 Event) D Team: (For Now, pending healing injury/comebacks)Lauren - 55.15 (P&G) Emily - 54.95 (J) Nia - 57.7 (P&G) - Coming back from Injury Brenna - 15.4 (P&G, 1 Event) - Coming back from College Ok so based on my opinion & calculations, it looks like this is more of a C Team than anything with some B & D mixed in. If you do it strictly by score and nothing else (with weighted scores for the 2/3 eventers), it’s still a C Team, the layout just looks a little bit different.

Yamilet Pena: 14.5
I want the FIG to make a rule where if you land feet first and butt second you get like a 5 in execution. I love her but I’m disgusted a Produnova with a fall gets her the same score as a DTY with no fall.
Im pretty sure she still gets a full point off for falling on her butt
yes she does and she also gets deducted for lack of rotation, leg separation, etc. my point is that 2.5 is not enough deduction considering the quality of this vault and the risk involved in chucking it.
And she will continue to compete it if she can get scores like this until one day she hurts herself doing it
I feel like they should introduce something where if when you land your butt is less than a 45 degree angle from your feet you should get an additional full point deducted. Like if you’re landing basically in a squat position and it just happens your feet touch the ground a fraction of a second before your butt, that should not get a similar score to any vault that is landed standing up.
I can’t wait to see the Brazilians next year! It is going to be a wild party!
Whoever keeps pinning Maddie’s number needs training

How funny would it be if this turns out to be a great beam final after years of splat fest beam finals at Worlds and Europeans?
