I’ve been an OU fan for as long as I can remember and don’t get me wrong… I am so happy that we won but I’m distraught at these Florida injuries! I was in the arena tonight and the fact that Anaya never came back out into the arena makes me suspicious that something is really wrong. Also I’ve been loving the Sloan + Skye moments and as soon as Sloan went down the Florida team immediately huddled around Skye and she like 7 seconds after Sloan entered the tunnel, Skye just ran after her crying… to be quite honest I wanted to cry too… Sloan came out about halfway through the beam rotation on a boot and crutches but Skye didn’t come out until later, you could just tell she was shook. My heart breaks for those 2.
Side Note: I think the floor judges felt like they had to make up for the beam judges lol
