Gabby of course along with all the others returning.

These are all great! I'm especially excited for Alexa Moreno's upgrades, since Latin America isn't really known for strong, competitive gymnasts outside of Brazil. It's exciting that Mexico could potentially medal at an Olympic Games after Moreno was already the first Mexican to win a World's medal for vault! She was also 4th at the most recent Games. Shilese's beam series is GORGEOUS! I always wondered why if we see so many aerial + LOSO combos, and so many bhs + LOSOx2 combos, why we don't see more aerial + LOSO×2 on beam. I'm excited to see whether Gabby trains All Around or if she shoots for a UB/BB specialist spot. Honestly, neither her VT nor FX were competitive in 2016, so unless she can get back some skills or do some upgrades, idk that she'll stand out competing AA next to Simone Biles, Sunisa Lee, Shilese Jones, or Rebecca Andrade. It would be nearly impossible to make the podium in AA with a DTY on VT and a FX with a Double Arabian + Stag Jump as the highest-rated tumbling pass. But, we will see! I'm rooting for her, and she looks great on Bars already!

Gabby!!!!!!! Woot woot!!!

Gabby's lines, her grace, her high flying bars, her beautiful pinpoint saltos...She is my personal favorite American gymnast and I say that as one of Komova's biggest fans.

Shilese is more than capable on bars, vault, and floor, but she's been a little inconsistent on beam so if Gabby gets that back, that is something she could contend for.

She need to go on to train others, she seems to be the face of gymnastics. Also very excited for Gabby and theres some great gymnast this year! Best ever, Boy Paris is gonna be the place to be. USA up against Russians and we all know what sports like gymnastics means to them, Everyone needs prayer 🙏 for the pressure! Hioe they dont push these athletics too far😢 if so some will stand up!

*1.* Unfortunately, we won’t see all the upgrades Shi is training. I highly doubt it. The ones would help her the most are: new acro series on beam if consistent ( like the aerial loso loso), double front with half turn ub dismount, front full layout step out and the chuso. She can also potentially do: full in dismount on both beam and floor, the stalder nabieva, a bhardwaj and an amanar. But those ones (except the unofficial Jones) are not as realistic. *2.* Rebeca is planning on upgrading her beam and is training a new dance element on fx. She’s working on a bhs loso loso and another connection. Will she manage to do consistently? We’ll see but I believe adding another loso might increase her chances of falling considerably. *3.* Like Rebeca, Jade is also training her amanar again and trying to compete it this year. After all, with Simone they really have to fight for the silver, being the gold only very possible if Simone has a mistake. *4.* I’d love to see Moreno do a Yeo. It’d be huuuge, but I’m afraid she may not land it well if competed. *5.* Douglas is also training her fabulous shishova again. I literally CANNOT wait to see her back on the floor.

I appreciate many things about your videos, but let me list just a few: 1. you comment on the fact gymnasts' routines being beautiful without making it super fucking creepy. i say this as a guy - apparently it's real hard for some guys to talk about women like they're people and then they get super creepy. so i appreciate that. 2. you do your best to pronounce peoples names correctly. I speak zero (0) other languages so i cant comment on how close you get to perfection, but what matters is that you're honoring their heritage and affording them dignity by trying. 3. I'm sure you have your personal favorites but you always come across like you just want everyone to stay healthy and do well. 4. also, i still remember the video you did discussing how the sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine impact the Russian gymnasts, and I still appreciate you calling it an invasion or war. so many people are scared of that reality for some reason, but I appreciate that you didn't flinch from it.
