I agree. They certainly don't have the degree of difficulty of many others. Although having said that, it can go too far the other way as well. Simone Biles, for example.

There is coverage of the World Championships next week (so you can tell we are in with a shout otherwise forget it!). From what I can see it is on nightly on BBC2 7.00-8.00, from Tuesday to Friday. Coverage then continues from 8.00-10.00 on BBC3, except for Friday, don’t know what happens that night.

I liked that Fred Richard on floor. Very impressive.
Good old Jake and his super twisting vault!
That poor Chinese guy who fell off the high bar twice. He must have really jarred himself.

I know, I did feel for him. Good job they had a 4 point buffer. I think I may have cursed the Americans....

It was good to watch, but not the glory days of the last competition! I didn’t know any of the USA team, but did like Fred Richards. My goodness though, the racket they made cheering on their team. I had to turn the volume off after sweating at the telly. Women today, hurrah!!! I much prefer them.

Well I did see her name somewhere in connection with this but don’t know if it was in reference to past glory or a comeback. I don’t know what apparatus she can still manage because she has that syndrome doesn’t she? What is it, like the yips in golf? Something to do with a,loss of spatial awareness? Perhaps she can still vault or do bars, but beam must be nigh on impossible.

That's what I was wondering.

I’ve just googled. She’s doing all pieces. Leading after qualification three days ago apparently. She landed a mega vault, I think the first time it’s ever been done. But who knows if we will see it in the bits they televise!

Well you didn’t miss much from the GB team!!!! Not our finest hour.
However, interestingly enough, although the first place was a given, Brazil got silver with their first world medal EVER and France bronze with their first medal since 1950. So that was nice to see.

Oh that's cool! Brasil have been improving over the last cycle so good to see it paying off.
