commented on a gymnastics video about how it was a shame that the international broadcast for yesterday's world championship women's finals didn't show julia soares' from brazil solo because i loved it (i watched the brazilian broadcast that did show it), she did so well especially considering she had just fallen off the beam, she aced it and helped give confidence back to the whole team and then linked to the only youtube video i could find for it. and then a middle aged slightly butch woman replied with "thank you dear, i'm going to watch it. big hug!"

what i'm getting at is that my rizz is off the charts women love me

Paris wishlist

Realistic:

Nemour bars gold

QQY AA bronze

No Jade floor medal

ITA team medal

No medals for france but a top 6 AA finish for MDJDS

Romania TF

In the realm of reality but a long shot:

Both Aleah and Luisa make AA finals

Rebe VT and/or FX gold

Nina UB fall in QF

ITA individual medal

A b*tch can dream:

Rebe AA gold

USA TF flop with actual medal consequences

Aleah floor finals

Says a coach who regularly asks why other gymnasts by name are scored higher than hers on twitter.

The overwhelming reaction to MDJDS's floor has been fans questioning Cecile for the obvious composition issues.

[my-random-fandoms]

IDK why this is necessary for me to say but MDJDS's Christian Dior leotard is not good.

[lobaznyuk]

my long-time sleeper hits Flavia and MDJDS getting world medals at the same time is sooooo important to me

Sorry if I send too many ask things mdjd- and that sometimes they aren't exactly askings of the aus

How would Bermuda feel about seeing chao if they somehow existed there? And if that's a bad question, then uhm- -what would Shadow meeting Windthrow be like?

shadow's soft spot for chao carries over to bermuda... they're just little guys... he wouldn't hurt them. he wouldn't really want to interact with them either though. kind of like a "leave me alone, small dog with huge wet eyes" situation.

shadow meeting windthrow would be so funny because i don't think shadow knows about sonic's werehog form i mean he wasn't there in unleashed to see that all go down right??? so he'd be like wow what's with this huge, fluffy, doglike version of you? meanwhile prime sonic is sitting there covering his face and So Fucking Embarrassed but trying to play it cool like man, i have NO idea. weird!

meanwhile windthrow is just excited to see shadow cuz he's a New, Not Megafauna person! a new person to play with! yippee!!!

hilariously i don't think windthrow would trust prime sonic it's like how dogs will bark at their own reflection in the mirror like Something Is Fucking Wrong With This Situation. he'd intuit it. yknow

A Summary of the Current State of French Gymnastics

A) The federation is trying to force centralization by strong arming gymnasts to move to central gyms to train leaving their homes and home clubs. They've done this before disastrously a little over a decade ago and one of the institutions they want people to move to had a serial sexual assault history the investigation of which was dropped because of the age of the suspect a few years ago.

Two prominent gymnasts, Carolann Heduit and Kaylia Nemour have refused. Heduit is a national champion and one of their most consistent (if not the most consistant) French international of the last few years. Nemour was their most promising new senior. I say was because after she needed surgery and was cleared to return to training by her own doctor (after what appears to be a reasonable period of time) the French federation doctor refused to clear her without even examining her. She says it was part of an attempt to blackmail her into moving gyms. She switched to Algeria and the French federation opposed her move making her road to the Olympics for Algeria extremely difficult. Heduit has given interviews about how she and her family are essentially being harassed by officials from the French federation including weekly phone calls (including at Tokyo) pressuring her to change gyms. In retaliation her coaches are being investigated for abuse but there are no public accusations or gymnasts who have accused them as such to my knowledge. Heduit's funding has been cut off (and restored only after media attention) and she talks about having been told that her French national championship doesn't matter because the judges overscored her.

B) Meanwhile Melanie de Jesus dos Santos has--basically without explanation--been given leave to train in Texas at World Champion Center. Some people erroneously believe that this is so that she can be closer to her home the French Department of Martinique in the Caribbean. This is a misunderstanding of travel times. While Texas is geographically closer to Martinique there are no direct flights and so it would be faster for her to go from France to Martinique then from Texas. One would think the fact that her coaches in Texas being French would be why but when MDJDS went to France to compete in a world challenge cup her coaches weren't allowed to stay with her and the French National team staff decided to change some of her bars release techniques in the 10 days before competition. To say she did not perform well is an understatement.

C) The French federation also canceled (or postponed? Maybe it will happen this spring) one of the major tournaments in the country Gym Massilia in 2022 with very little warning to the members involved apparently because of an investigation into one of the organizers. Gym Massilia is a meet that goes back decades and was a fixture of the French and international gym season. I believe the French prosecutors are involved in this investigation so I tend to give it more credence then the one into Heduit/Nemour's coaches but given that they used abuse investigations to strong arm gymnasts who knows. Either way it was very disruptive to almost every elite gymnast in the country to cancel on that kind of short notice.

D) Meanwhile on the men's side the federation hired a coach who had been fired by USAG for drunkenly groping the wife of an athlete in a bar at US Championships to be the head coach of their MAG team. He lasted a year and a half and was recently fired by the French after more alcohol related incidents. In a recent article one of the athletes is quoted as saying that he constantly smelled of alcohol.

i don't like that this strengthens the questionable narrative that training in ✨the youessay✨made mdjds progress in any substantial way though!

[lobaznyuk]

not that mdjds had showstopping choreo on floor before but seeing her get wcc-ified is so sad
