Gymnastics, gymnastics, gymnastics! I'm from New York so I LOVE Team USA, but I'm also a huge fan of many international teams and athletes so my posts won't be super biased. I'm also a huge NCAA fan with big Gator and Bruin love. I write lots of commentary and analysis for www.thecouchgymnast.com. I'm a history major at Columbia University and I'm obsessed with travel. Check out my personal tumblr, Inner Monoblog!

I wish she would stop digging a hole first, and digging her way out of it. That would be nice. I used to have black hair. But she’s going to go out there and give you 100 percent every time out. It’s not a pressure thing. She didn’t succumb to pressure on bars, she just made a mistake. The USA machine finally had a flaw today. You can’t ask for any more out of a kid or an athlete, that’s for sure. Lifelong dreams came true today — hers and mine.

Geddert being awesome and hilarious

I haven’t even raved about the fact that Jordyn has done three AA routines between qualifications, team finals and AA finals. She was a hot mess on bars today but she didn’t fall. She went twelve-for-twelve. Can any other athlete say that!? THAT is incredible!! She should get gold for being a consistent little beast.
