So glad to see Lisa Vaelen on the list. She missed qualifying to the Paris Olympics when she contracted mono before 2023 Worlds.

That impotent rage scream you are hearing right now is Umar Kremlev in Russia

My 3 outstanding questions of the Paris quad: 1) Why did FIG approve of PAGU giving away its Olympic berths a year early, thus screwing the 2008 kids; 2) Why did FIG approve of Pac Rims in a part of town where kidnapping for ransom is a danger; 3) WHY DID FIG APPROVE 2024 PAN AM CHAMPS.

I’ve set up my FIG-only score tracker for this year and the Cottbus scores are entered, but I think I’ll hold off on sharing it until after Baku. Leaderboards are more interesting when they’re not just one meet. Is there any analysis you’d like to see? Like top D or E scores? Who’s getting bonuses?

Cottbus World Cup - full event replays are available here: www.figtv.sport/cottbusartap... (Scroll down past the highlight clips or search for "full event"). So pleased that the FIG have made these available for free!

Incidentally, I have finally convinced my fingers to spell this surname right consistently, and I think it’s because of the realization that Artur has VT in his name.

I’ve accepted the MAG bonus as a bonus for Artur Davtyan doing Artur Davtyan things.

Sooooo it looks like at least one vault was given the wrong D score at Winter Cup last night, that’s cool.

This factoid about the Cottbus WAG vault podium is @ollyhogben.bsky.social bait.

Yul did not get suspended on a technicality. He got suspended for doing the things you do when you’re evading testing. He probably has perfectly innocent explanations for all of it, but he missed 3 out-of-competition tests in 6 months. That’s not a whoopsie.

Is the stick bonus technically added to D scores? Have I hallucinated that?

If your scale doesn't look like this, then go home

90% of what Frederick is talking about with the men’s gymnastics kits could be fixed by just, like, fitting it better. His complaints are things I hear with practically every alteration I do. It’s a problem with any garment made from a knit but especially in performance fabrics like leos.

Today I learned the president of the FIG in 1953 was Count Goblet D’Alviella.

Could just be a sign that they’re posting scores, but this popped up on Elevien.

I asked the FIG Instagram if there are plans to stream qualification of Cottbus and… they appear to have deleted the comment.
