Sandy was very lucky she didn't have the time to do any further rotating, I'm glad she's alright, the mishap was so similar to Vanessa Atler's 2000 Olympic trials beam mishap
I think this is the year my mom took me to see this! We went with a few other girls from my gym and our coach. Great memories. I think this comp was at patriot center a few years in a row.
It's terrible to hear Belas comment. I know he has done a lot for gymnastics, but for children like Sandy or Brandy, his system to make the selection of gymnasts for his teams was completly unfair.
He did absolutely nothing for gymnastics besides abuse and destroy multiple athletes. He and his wife should be in prison for allowing the sexual abuse by Nasser to go on like it did. His accomplishments as a coach are nothing when you realize how they happened
Woolsey came to my gym in Colorado for christmas when I was young. I was amazed by her. She was the first elite gymnast I'd seen in person. And she was a great person
Not as bad as at the worlds or Olympics before the end of the Soviet Union. Those scores were BLATANTLY biased towards only two countries- USSR and Romania. No one else mattered.
And as per usual with every American Cup broadcast, the rules are made up and the points don't matter. They always make it sound like this is such a prestigious event, when many of the best international athletes avoid it because it's always ridiculous.
