Happy 2012 Team Final Anniversary to those who celebrate

[dykeredhood]

Idk if y’all remember the commentary for the 2012 Olympics women’s gymnastics, but it was crazy

Jordyn Wieber didn’t do as well as she was anticipated to do in the all-around competition and the commentators kept harping on “her dreams are crushed… this was Jordyn’s chance for a gold medal and now she’s heartbroken because there’s no way she’ll qualify for gold” while Gabby Douglas was consistently killing it with high scores for every event 😐🙄

My roman empire is knowing that Simone Biles had verbally committed to UCLA and signed her national letter to start after the Rio Olympics because that means we could have had Madison Kocian, Kyla Ross, Jordyn Wieber AND Simone Biles on the same collegiate team

they showed jordyn wieber in the crowd at nationals and it's embarrassing for me how excited i got about it. some part of me is always going to be 11 and watching the london games i guess

So, did Gabby Douglas actually retire from gymnastics?

It seems that the gold medalist never actually left gymnastics in her rear view mirror, despite what we may have assumed.“I never announced a retirement,” Gabby said in February 2024. “I didn’t want to end this sport like I did in 2016. I wanted to take a step back and work on myself and my mental state.”The 28-year-old added, "I love gymnastics and love pushing myself. I never wanted to walk away on a bad day."And walk away she sure didn't! In fact, Gabby is headed for a comeback. Yes, we're pumped, too!Article continues below advertisement

Gabby Douglas may compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Although nothing is definite at time of writing, according to Gabby, she is focused on getting to Paris this summer to compete again on the world stage.Article continues below advertisementGabby is well on her way. She qualified for the U.S. Gymnastics Championships and will compete there in May. The next step would be the Olympic Trials in June, per Women's Health.The athlete updated fans about her progress via her Instagram, sharing a video of a vault routine that looked pretty flawless to us — but Gabby was hard on herself in the caption.Article continues below advertisementShe wrote, "Eight years later…. well guys… it wasn’t my best showing this weekend but was so happy and grateful to be back out there on the floor doing what I love again."Gabby continued the post by writing, "With anything there are always kinks to work out, get better, and improve. I’ve never been more excited to get back into the gym and work even harder."Gabby finished her post by gushing, "Forever grateful for all of your love and support. It means the world. I love you guys and I’ll see you in Hartford. Hard days are the best because that’s when champions are made."Article continues below advertisement

Gabby Douglas would not be the oldest gymnast to compete in the Olympics.

Gabby may be on the older side for gymnasts at the Olympics, but she is far from the most mature athlete who may attend.Believe it or not, 47-year-old gymnast Oksana Chusovitina from Uzebekistan is making a run for her ninth games in Paris.Article continues below advertisement"I thought about it well and decided that after the Asian Games , I would also prepare for the Paris 2024 Olympics," she said about potentially competing against the likes of Gabby Douglas.Meanwhile, Simone Biles is also set to compete in Paris after taking a break from the sport.We wish all of these athletes the best of luck and can promise we'll be watching!

the amount i sobbed after jordyn wieber didn’t make the all around finals is probably embarrassing if i wasn’t 10 at the time but she was my favourite at the time

yessssssssssssss

[tokyoraisman]

i've always been so uptight about form when watching gymnastics. jordyn wieber was never my favorite because there was something about her form i didn't love. shawn johnson is my all-time fave because her form enhances her gymnastics. i always felt jordyn was too rigid and choppy for me and her feet were too often flexed and i just couldn't enjoy her gymnastics, but at the same time i'm obsessed with aly raisman. i think the difference is that aly is SO SURE of herself in her gymnastics, and that makes her so precise and put together. she is solid every time. this is why i cringed every time nastia did her post-2007 dismount on ub.

the thing for me about nastia was that i loved watching her on ub and was neutral about watching her on every other event. i never cared for her floor routine because it just felt like twist after twist and i never saw anything more diverse, except for her double front and that was horrendous to watch.

“I’m the same age as the Fierce Five. Seeing Jordyn and Kyla as Arkansas coaches is incredible and surreal… I can’t help but look at them and remember watching their careers grow, especially London ofc. It feels like yesterday and now I feel so old”

[freifraufischer]

Using John Geddert as a shield to protect Jordyn Wieber from criticism is a deeply weird take.

[triple-to-stag]

Jade needs someone to choreograph her floor to the millisecond so she has clean transitions planned immediately before and after skills

That way she’d have no time to pause/lose any convincing artistic momentum

No because in four years Joscelyn if she's still doing elite is going to be coming off her Arkansas career with Jordyn Wieber, Chris Brooks, and Kyla Ross as her coaches
