every last one of the talented gymnasts in this final displayed stunning gymnastics and gave fabulous performances, and, delightfully, now every single one of them is an olympic medalist 💙❤️💛🖤💚
american media has tried to hard to paint chinese gymnasts as little girls with no personality with sad, monotonous, boring lives, but they're literally just teenagers/young adults who joke around and have fun and have friends. gymnasts are people too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you would have told me after tokyo that the next olympic team would be simone, jade, jordan, suni, and hezly, i would have been like “who is hezly?”
stop calling floor rotations “floor parties” that term is reserved for ucla, the one school with good choreo. standing there choreo is not a floor party.
This is a direct result of Simone Biles and Aly Raisman dominating post 2012 olympics. Power gymnasts being able to do moves other can't forced programs to scrap their super restricted diets and allow gymansts to develop physically like normal

YALL‼️ So I put “Shang Chunsong” as my name in Starbucks and the barista yelled “THE REAL 2016 OLYMPIC ALL AROUND BRONZE MEDALIST???” And I said “YES THATS ME!” And then everyone around me did 3.5 twist to punch front pike. Omfg im crying 😭😭🙏🏼
myk getting so much deserved hate… i have been waiting years for this. the girl who wrote a journal entry for her creative writing class about how mad she was that myk was returning to elite would be so happy.
it is so evil that the IOC decided against giving both jordan and ana the bronze. why should the gymnasts have to suffer when they are completely and utterly not at fault here? it would have saved them from this traumatizing ordeal. fucked up and sinister.
it doesnt matter if those flags are trump flags or bernie flags, the coach's politics should not be a. forced on the gymnast or b. a part of the gym itself. absolutely disgusting. i cant imagine walking in and seeing those hateful flags every single day. thank gd konnor left.
need people to stop calling USAG social media person an intern. social media manager is a paid position that's harder than a lot of people think and they have to put up with a fuck ton of unsolicited cruel comments from people
