Milka Gehani has huge potential but she really seems to struggle under pressure

Gymnastics Master Post: Women’s Quals

In regards to team USA:

1. Is anyone else not surprised at all to see that the individual spot that should have been Riley was wasted on Skinner?  What exactly was the point in bringing her, we all knew she wouldn’t get in on any finals or the all around, whereas Riley had a chance on bars.

2. Insanely underwhelming.  That’s it.  That’s the comment.  They’d better get it together if they want to win the team again because right now it’s not looking great.

3. Also those leotards were tacky as hell, I wish they had worn the podium training ones instead.

Now onto subdivision 2

I love that Listunova’s floor main theme is Russkaya (Russian Dance) by Tchaikovsky in Swan Lake, it’s very fitting!

It’s nonsense the Downies aren’t there, team GB messed up massively with that.

Melnikova’s floor routine is more entertaining than literally any of the US gymnasts.  She even did an entrechat, we love seeing gymnasts doing ballet and they actually look like ballet.

It’s so cool there’s a Sri Lankan gymnast and after the fall on the first, she looks so good!  

I miss Shang Chunsong.

Double layout dismount will forever be the most beautiful dismount for bars and I miss Gabby’s.

I’m obsessed with China’s leotards, especially Fan Yilin’s blue and white, they’re actually elegant which so many leos aren’t anymore.

MASKS GO OVER THE NOSE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.  OVER. THE. NOSE.

Okay in the dance elements of floor, someone please tell the gymnasts to extend their entire arm and have the energy go all the way down so they don’t just flop but actually look elegant and beautiful and meaningful.  Please.

I know it’s super common, but I love the back dive to candle mount on beam.  It’s so elegant!!

I’m so sad Sanne didn’t make it back to the beam finals, it was so nice to see a gymnast who wasn’t tumbling focused win in 2016.

Were Elisa Haemmerle’s legs supposed to be that bent in her vault??  They weren’t bent enough to look like a tuck, but also not straight at all...

Halfway through Russia’s bars, I’m falling asleep.  I’m just excited for men’s gymnastics.

Milka has really pretty eyes

[gymfanconfessions]

“Milka Gehani was born the same year Sri Lanka showed up at Worlds with level 6 to 8ish difficulty.”

Happy for Tang Xijing, Amelie Morgan, Lee Yunseo, and Milka Gehani🥰

Sad for literally ever gymnast from 2018 YOG who didnt make it to 2021 OG😭

Thoughts watching the commonwealth games finals (first 2 rotations):

- Really like Jea Maracha! Not the highest difficulty, but she moves well and is enjoyable to watch!

- Apparently short pirouettes on bars irritate me to an almost absurd degree.

- Odine Achampong pulling a “yikes” face after her bars dismount lmao

- Alice Kinsella’s vault is a MESS, but her bars are lovely. 

- Emma Yap has no difficulty to speak of on bars, but she swings really nicely (and covers pretty well out of a fairly dead hang).

- Commentators who say gymnasts legs are “glued together” when they’re obviously not make me feral. Also, saying they’re glued together when they’re twisted all around each other. Like yeah, I guess they are completely touching, but... not in a good way. Don’t make that sound good.

- Bent knees are to beam what short handstands are to bars. My absolute bugbear.

- Naveen Daries is allowed to keep doing wolf turns. 

- I hate hate hate the pace/artistry/whatever requirement that makes gymnasts keep moving the entire time on beam. Almost none of them make it work, they just look silly waving their arms and prancing weirdly. They’re about to do big tricks, let them stand still a moment. It would be better.

- Caitlin Rooskrantz is beautiful on bars. I know she fell, I’m ignoring it. She is beautiful to watch.

- Cork hat lady in the audience I love you.

- Wow Emily Whitehead really did land her bars dismount in full tuck.

- “She had a little fight, but she won!” such a sweet way of talking about a bobble.

- I really enjoy Milka Gehani on beam! Lower difficulty, and a lot of bobbles, but all of her individual skills are super clean. Knees straight, toes pointed, position absolutely correct on each skill she does. “She’s got good discipline in her movements” - yes, that’s it! And she moves with real confidence and purpose between movements (and bobbles). Very impressed.

- Honestly, a number of these gymnasts from smaller (geographically or just gymnastically) countries are quite nice to watch on beam. They can’t do the difficulty, but they’ve clearly put the time into the quality.

- I normally don’t love the gymnasts who are aggressive and power their way through bars, but Georgia Godwin makes it work. I think it’s because she does also have good flow and a good swing, so she’s looks more like a daredevil than someone who’s angry at the bars haha

Very appreciative of @thegymterdotnet for bringing Milka Gehani to my attention, and of the tv crew for showing her on the livestream. She's lovely, and I don't know that I would have taken notice of her without that preview article. Thank you!
