In response to the voice mail from Denmark, maybe we can make a forum as part of gymcastic or Facebook group where gym nerds can all congregate and live chat or something during meets and speculate during off season time. I used to love GGMB for this reason and haven’t found a forum that meets my gym nerd/gymternet gossip needs. Maybe this could help! Especially for people like me with hectic schedules who may not be able to physically meet up with fellow nerds or may not have any in their area or are nervous about meeting strangers. Just a thought!

I had actually sent an email to Gymcastic mentioning the possibility of a Facebook group too! And a forum sounds like a great idea as well, Taylor.

Elizabeth Shits. hahahahaha. Sorry. But yes, let’s make a forum! I can’t even sign up to WWGym for some reason and it’s very sad to gymnerd all alone.

My Miss Congeniality is Ksenia Afanasyeva for coming to bar finals on her day off, just to be Bar-Chalking Bitch for Vika and Dasha. It was her DAY OFF, come on, they could have chalked their own bars. Also a shoutout to Ksenia’s coach Marina Nazarova for bursting out of the doors into the smoking area after bars final while shouting “VERYYY GOOOOOOD JUDGEEEES!!!!” in English and scaring the hell out of everyone in a fairly hilarious way. Team South Korea actually had a 10 metre recoil of fear.

You guys sure are fun to listen to. :)) But I hate it when Jessica goes off on an artistry rant, lol, mostly because I don’t agree with her.
