I do think he’s a great coach to Jordyn. I still think his tweets about the Russians during Worlds were rude, and unsportsmanlike. And even though I don’t think he meant to insult NCAA, he needs to learn how to phrase things better.
Yeah, he totally does. It’s easy to misconstrue something like that I...

I work in a physical therapy office…we have SO MANY old couple patients who book their appointment slots together and awkwardly maneuver through their therapy for their total hip/knee replacements and balance issues. And we have...

what?
Hahaha my thoughts exactly. It was in response to a piece about China’s inconsistency at Worlds. I guess the poster thought the piece was talking about the 2008 Olympics? No idea.
“you are a little inparcial journalist, if you do not know China’s Olympic...”
– a Couch Gymnast comment LOL. My favorite is “two drops of Raisman.” It’s like a recipe! Oh, and the “lady journalist” jab. HAHAHAHA. This shockingly wasn’t written on something I wrote!
fuckyeahaliciasacramone replied to your quote: Relax folks… I love and respect NCAA gymnastics….
Agreed. I generally like Geddert. And more importantly, he seems to be the perfect coach for Jordyn.
Yeah, they really gel and he seems to have her best interests at heart. I do roll my eyes at a lot of what he says on twitter, but I think because he’s more…I don’t know, open...
“Relax folks… I love and respect NCAA gymnastics. Please realize quotes...”
– John Geddert on twitter, which is basically what I expected yesterday! I know people think he can be a little much but I feel like he’s just a big personality whose enthusiasm often gets blown out of proportion.
Jordyn Going Pro...
I’ve been super MIA lately because I had more than two weeks of midterms and pulled three 30-36 hour days in that span because not only am I in school full time, I also work 30 hours/week and volunteer! Worlds kept me company for the first part of midterms and then shit got SERIOUS and now my brain hurts so much, I literally can’t do anything but sit in pajamas and watch...
VAULT FINALS!
Elsa Garcia - Yurchenko 1.5 for 14.325, piked Podkopayeva for 14.3, finishes with 14.3125.
Jessica Gil Ortiz – messy 1.5 Yurchenko with a big step. 13.8. Second vault is a handspring front pike half which I think is gorgeous!! 13.975. Average of 13.8875.
Paula Mejias - Tsuk full with a step 13.725, handspring front tuck full with a step forward 13.95, 13.8375 total.
Brandie Jay - huuuuuge step...
Sandra Collantes (Peru) injured at PanAms →
Wow, how sad…I knew something was up when she didn’t do anything after her first event. Apparently she trains at Excalibur (where Gabby Douglas trained before Chow’s).

Bridgey always looks on the verge of falling apart.
I KNOW! I feel like her entire senior career has been 100% full of injuries. Keeping her away from everything but bars would be my prescription!

I know TEAMS get another chance to qualify or whatever in the winter? But would she get a shot, I wonder?
I was wondering the same thing, I hope she can qualify somehow…
Why do they have to make these rules so complicated?
No idea! It sucks that ONE bad performance would keep someone from going to the Olympics. She...

I think Vaculik has lost her spark. Seems like she’s just going through the motions, and not really enjoying herself.
I loved her pre-college. Now I’m so bored by her. I would have liked to see Peng Peng in third over her! Too bad about her bars mess up.
Final Standings
Happy for Bridgey and yet another US gold but soooo wished it went to Ana Sofia. Still, she seems MORE than thrilled to have gotten 2nd!! The celebrations for her right now are out of this world.
1. Bridgey Caquatto (USA) - 55.875
2. Ana Sofia Gomez (Guatemala) - 55.425
3. Kristina Vaculik (Canada) - 54.775
4. Peng Peng Lee (Canada) - 54.575
5. Elsa Garcia (Mexico) - 54.425
6. Brandie Jay...
Bridgey must be having a heart attack before beam. Big big step out on the layout but saved it, wobble on the back tuck, double pike dismount with a step back. She’ll be very very happy with that! NO FALLS FOR CAQUATTO IN A COMPETITION! 13.675 which gives her a 55.875 AA. Sadly, that could be our highest score here!
14.825 for Brandie’s DTY…she finishes with a 54.35. Really too...

Yami Pena Abreu down in 19th after beam.
Bridgey Caquatto getting ready for bars…sucks that she has to finish on beam, her arch nemesis. I guess that’s better than starting on beam? Pretty sure she’s smelling her armpits. Looks like they’re debating the score of whoever went before. Here we go! Everything’s good with an especially nice Jaeger! and finishes with double layout with a hop and big hug from Jiani...

Vaculik’s floor is nice…13.425. One of her low to floor skills looks like she’s legit falling. Hahaha. I’m just not a fan of her this year. Maybe because she screwed over my college fantasy team last year?
Vaults vaults vaults…Ana Sofia gets a 14.525 after a somewhat messy DTY, Bridgey only goes for the full and gets a 14.075, not bad. Peng Peng also goes for the...

Top 5 are vaults…Brandie has the highest non-vault score so far.
Brandie on bars, can’t tell if this is warm-up or the real deal. Girl from Ecuador on floor doing Smooth Criminal…Brandie is probably confused. Not really paying attention. 12.35.
Ana Sofia on floor now…I secretly want her to win it! Missed most but she just stuck her last pass and looks happy. 13.65. High compared to most floor scores on Monday!

fuckyeahaliciasacramone replied to your post: FLOOR
Bridget messed up her front 2.5 and got credited for two front 2/1s, hence the low D score
Ahhh, okay. I didn’t see her floor at all…was wondering why it was super low. I guess kind of the same problem Ponor had on beam!

Shocking not seeing a US girl here, am I right!?
fuckyeahaliciasacramone replied to your post: VAULT
E scores were insanely inflated here though
Yeah, true, there’s no way Brandie would have gotten that for her DTY at Worlds considering her massive step back and messy legs. Just fun to consider!

Ah, thanks for the clarification. I missed that!
Rotation 4
Brandie Jay rocking floor…missed the beginning but she’s leaping now. I have the sound off…does she still use Smooth Criminal? Martha must HATE her hahaha. Double pike almost to knees but she pulls it up! Good from what I saw. Oh, in slo mo she went OOB on the front handspring double twisting punch front. 12.375, dashing my dreams for her to qualify in first. She finishes with a...
Oh, okay Mexican feed, I guess don't bother...
Rotation 3, kind of?
Jessie Deziel got a 13.275…4.8 d-score and 8.475 e-score. Would be great to have actually seen it but nope, instead we’re watching a bunch of guys working the event backstage.
Caught about two seconds of Brandie’s routine before the feed went back to this bullshit bunch of guys standing around doing nothing! Brandie got a 13.125. I wonder if she fell? Beam usually isn’t...
USA in Rotation 2
Yami Pena Abreu!!! Is she gonna go for the handspring double front I wonder? Or was that just a Worlds thing? No, she plays it safe and does a great job, just a step out. She looks thrilled!!! She and her coach are freaking out hahahaha. 14.15. Missed the second vault thanks to work. 1.5 I think? 14.05 score?
Brandie on bars fucking shit uppppp in a good way! So glad they’re showing this...
Elsa Garcia needs to nail this so they don’t count the 11.675. UGHHHHH AND SHE’S OFF JUST AS I TYPED THAT. Whyyyy. Unfortunate! :( Noooo, pulls a Bross with an attempt to save but falls again. This girl needs a break. She was a mess at Worlds and it’s even worse now. Very sad. 11.95, so they’re not counting the 11.675 but still sucks to count that. They’re slightly...
Rotation 1
Mexico in their pretty leos from Worlds! USA in the leos I hate, also from worlds.Brandie and Jessie DeZiel are 100% like WHAT THE FUCK IS MY LIFE right about now. So weird to see Shawn back in a Team USA leo!

Event Standings
Current event standings…top eight! Obviously if there are like, four or five people from one country, it won’t count because of the two per country rule. Sucks that Talia won’t make floor finals! I’d say her floor was stronger than Gerber’s fo sho. LMAO at the bars scores. I mean REALLY. Vault = people with two vaults, by the way.

LOVE HER AND SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS! What a great performance! I told you her beam would be awesome, and it WAS! 14.675! She BETTER medal on this in event finals!!!
I think Bridgey Caquatto could probably surpass Gomez even with a fall, but hopefully she stays on all of her events and gets a great score! I think Grace McLaughlin and Brandie Jay can each potentially squeeze in a third place...
