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 seriously worry for her mental health. :(

I do, too, but it doesn’t even seem to bother her! At Nationals last year her team was all huddling and crying and praying it out when they didn’t make the Super Six, and she was off laughing and destroying dreams. I don’t know what mental glitch she has that won’t let her hit all of her routines (or ANY of her routines as the case may be, though that was a first this season). She can perform a gorgeous onodi but can’t hit a bhs loso!? It’s always the little stuff for her and it doesn’t make sense to me. I’d imagine if she was like, beating herself up about it, they’d take her out of the line-ups? They keep putting her in week after week, so they must be insane, but at least that means she’s gotta be okay with failing?!
