Why Joe Fraser Kept Sucking His Thumb
Joe Fraser won all-around bronze and kept putting his thumb in his mouth on camera. Here's why.
It's a soccer celebration for a baby on the way. His partner is due in four weeks and asked him to do it, so he did it every time he saw a camera.

The Media Is Hard on the US Men
The media is eviscerating the U.S. men without acknowledging that their system has no national support and we're down to 15 NCAA teams.
Jessica: the men's side has far more parity, and you can't beat full-time salaried athletes on a stipend. They have another Worlds next year.

Top qualifier and Olympic champion Shinnosuke Oka falls twice, Arsenii Dukhno's medal run ends on high bar, and Illia Kovtun falls twice.

Which apparatus would win a fight? 🥊
If the gymnastics apparatus came to life and fought each other, who wins? 🥊
We asked gymnasts in the Rotterdam mixed zone. Floor has size on its side, vault gets a runway, bars have a reputation, and beam? Beam already fights gymnasts every competition. Featuring Hezly Rivera, Charleigh Bullock, Reese Esponda, Flávia Saraiva, Becky Downie and more.

Fred Richard on his girlfriend 💛
"She's always in my corner" 💛
Fred Richard on his girlfriend: they've been dating for about three years, since before the Olympics, but kept it private. She played tennis at the University of Michigan, so she understands the athlete lifestyle.

Spencer on the ring half leaps at Worlds: a regular switch ring is beautiful. Turning on the way down is nerd voice.

It wasn`t the Spieth floor that broke at Worlds. It was the podium.
Jessica checked with Spieth. The podium sagged, the panels under the floor shifted, and it felt like a hole in the floor. Everyone stop pointing at Spieth.

Nemour's Bars Mistake: Worse Than a Fall?
110 minutes ago
Should Kaylia Nemour's bars mistake have been deducted more than a fall?
Jessica and Spencer don't agree. Add up 0.3 leg separation, 0.3 body angle, 0.3 knee bend and a missed handstand, and the math says yes. Spencer says let's be realistic.
