Is Anyone Watching The Gymnastics Competition on NBC??

[bdamomma]

did anyone hear the conversation with the commentators saying something like without Biles the Russians have a greater chance of winning this from a Russian official. I just want to know if someone else heard this too.

1. I read this today. That Russia has a better chance now

[bdamomma]

2. Geez

seems weird doesn't? Get Biles out and Russians win???? I shouldn't think paranoid thoughts like this.

I do not trust the Russians at all.

7. Biles bailed of her own accord

She has said as much.

Russia and/or Russians had zero to do with it.

[bdamomma]

8. okay

point taken. Bailed???

[Bobstandard]

3. Stands to reason

Best player out, opponent has a better chance. Is that a scandal?

Plus, best player out, rest of the team steps up to win silver

Meanwhile, everyone piles on.

5. Although, could be Havana Syndrome

Or Q. Yeah, for sure, Q!

6. Well her Team

mates did step up and came in 2nd, Simone did what she had to do? Too much pressure I do believe that, but then you have the Russian factor. I wish Simone well and hope she's in for the All Around Individual Competition.

4. Anyone curious whether RU influenced the Biles penalty?

Simone Biles penalized for being Too Good.


Which other difficult skills will the Olympic committees deny, "because ummm... "Its too dangerous".

Who tf decides this?

Isn't that the whole point of the OLYMPICS!
Are they limiting skills now, like jr competition level skills?
