Kathy is a treasure on the earth and should be protected at all costs. She has such an incredibly intelligent and insightful approach to her commentary. No one does it better than her, and I'm so glad she's still continuing to find spaces to use her voice. Bridget is great, too. Excellent episode, ladies!
Kathy is AMAZING. I adore her and I agree...such a treasure. I wish she was one of the Olympic commentators. She has great insight, is compassionate and obviously, quite knowledgeable.
Thanks for giving Kathy a platform to be herself and just talk in all her gymnerd glory!💖 We appreciate you Bridget.🤗💞 I've wanted to go to an Olympics to watch gymnastics ever since I was 3 1/2. I am so excited to go to Trials!🎉🤸🏼♀️ I'm going to be the crazy gymnerd losing their voice at all sessions cheering all the gymnasts on as if I know them personally! 🤣 So they'll hopefully feel the love Kathy. 😊
I'll be the one getting there 2-4 hours early to get in first.😂🤣 So if anyone else is going, feel free to sit outside the doors with me in excitement and we can all gymnerd out together. Lol 😁
I think Kathy should be able to give the girls a pep talk before trials. She is so positive and uplifting!
❤
The fact that you only have 1200 subscribers makes me sad. This series deserves sooo much more!
I think more listen on podcast.
Trials is gonna be soooo freaking exciting! Honestly, it's hard to believe the Olympics are almost here!
Thank you, ladies, for producing such a quality, educational, and most importantly uplifting conversation!
I need this duo for the games in Paris!!!!!! Break it all down for us KJC I love learning so much about the sport from all this knowledge.
I absolutely love your show!! The two of you have so much knowledge and your excitement for gymnastics is contagious!!! ❤️❤️
I think all of these athletes that have made the trials in America have already won. They all deserve a gold medal because to even make the Olympics team in America is such a major achievement. Things happen & none of these ladies should feel disappointed. They are amazing. ❤
I totally understand what you’re saying Kathy. In my day we did so much training on ballet & never had an ankle injury. Major foot injury stopped my career but this was on the bars doing giants and catching my foot on the lower bar & then having a trampoline dropped on my foot. I can honestly say that there weren’t many ankle injuries like there are today which really comes back to the ballet training that increases your ankle strength. I guess different times. 💕💕💕
Who wouldn't want to see Leanne succeed? Haven't you been watching? The judges don't. I wish you guys would discuss the unfair judging. Leanne has been lowballed all season. Even when she hits she gets lower scores. There is so obvious bias going on and no one will acknowledge it.
Tell Kathy she should make a patreon where she does commentary on Olympic routines this summer, I would pay for that shit fr
That’s a brilliant idea!
I third this!!!
28:54 it was 1996 Olympic AA finals, the Miller on Beam epic she’s describing.
I’m just found your podcast and I love it! Thank you for doing it!
I love this, I really do. But I just want to point out that domestic scoring is whack 😭😭
we love Kathy thanks for having her back!
I cannot wait to see who gets on this team.
I'm a gymnast of the 70s and 80s, and I trained the way you did, Kathy. I was so conditioned for form that my brother says I used to sit in a chair, any chair, and my toes would be pointed....even in sneakers. LOL. It's true! I coached it as well. :) So fun to hear you talk about what I also experienced.
the dance training went away when springs in the floor and vaulting boards and padded beams became the norm .tumbling on a wrestling mat or wood balance beam could be detrimental to your ankles if you didn't have strong feet, ankles,knees and thighs. I think the springs,matting surface changes(ethafoam) made athletes and coaches feel more invincible. Overuse injuries were delayed, but without the dance training ,rehab for the overuse injury didn't solve the lack of leg strength.
16:25 “I don’t know what Suni’s spirit animal is, but it swings bars and can work beam like a UNICORN 🦄!:” Love 💕 this and so many other Kathy comments! 👍 Great job Bridget & Kathy.
Another great, inspiring episode. I guess that makes me a nerd!
Excellent show. Thank you.
I agree with you, Kathy. I think the spring floor inhibits development of strength in the feet, etc. Add to that the lack of dance training (that went out the window with artistry/compulsories). I was a gymnast in the early 80s when spring floors were barely a thing. I was also a ballet dancer. The spring floor makes the dancing look bouncy and out of control. It's ugly.
Bridget, listen to Kathy. She knows what she is talking about!
Also, I wish Kathy was an NBC commentator for gymnastics. She is soooo good. Samantha is way too chatty and it's distracting.
I'm a former dancer (nothing amazing, just grew up in the studio and even continued some classes as an adult). I just started gymnastics and dance helps but turning on floor and beam is so different. I would be interested to learn thoughts from those who did both at the same time. Part of it of course is turning in a different direction than I usually did in dance, but also the floor surface being so different. Also with leaps and jumps I haven't learned to use any rebound.
I think I’m more excited for Olympic trials than I am the actual Olympics. 😅
Lol same
Remember Tokyo.....I thought USA was gonna cruise to gold in Tokyo, and then.... I think the Olympics is gonna have some unexpected twists and turns....no pun intended
@@darklight1030I've been hesitant to make any definite comments about the Olympic team because of what happened in Tokyo. I'm kind of frustrated that people are jumping to I'm kind of frustrated that people are making automatic assumptions about anything after what happened there. It's not that I don't trust athletes to do what they normally would do but I think we should have learned that putting undue pressure is not wise. Of course I think the athletes and coaches have learned from that and are approaching things differently
@@joyfuljaj I'm concerned about Sky at trials. I think the spotlight has been on her more than anyone else since championships. I hope she copes with the pressure and delivers!
Nope. I will expect 1 star judging at Olympic trials. USA made a huge mistake by comparing 1 star judging to Euros' 5 star star judging in 2021.
Another fantastic episode!!! Thanks!
They both really know how to talk about athletes. Kathy saying “what she wants to see” verse “what I want to see”
i thought you were going to have an episode during trials. waiting for it!
I’m so here for math-nerdery!
Has Kathy ever been a coach? She would be a great one!!
I desperately want a copy of this spread sheet to see how to compares to mine.
I couldn't agree more about good form early on. I see gymnasts performing at the highest level with hideous feet or hunched shoulders and it really kills it. Why didn't their coaches get them pointing those toes and lifting their chests the minute they began their gymnastics lessons?
Loved it!
You're basing your point system on US judges who are cheating for gymnasts like Kayla Dicello. Jordan Chiles and Jade Carey. That makes the system useless
They want two sets of rules for the gymnasts they like, like Suni who WANTS AA. She doesn't want to just do bars and beam.
The proof of this is day 2 on the vault. Jade's score went up for inferior vaults. The judges cheated right in front of our eyes and not a single podcast pointed it out.
If the team gets a medal does the alternate get one?
At worlds, yes. Not sure about the Olympics.
At worlds, yes, at the Olympics, no.
The IOC does not recognize alternates. They don't even get to stay at the Olympic village.
@@joyfuljaj That is really unfair. I hope the IOC addresses that.
What is this false narrative of Leanne Wong being "consistent on every event and she showed it at Worlds"? No she didn't, she completely imploded on Beam and didn't do great on Floor either.
She only fell once out of 20 international routines, while one .5 off for beam EF. 18-19 hit out of 20 should be regarded as consistent.
@@cocoroni1031Not to mention, a lot of her routines domestically and internationally have been underscored in the past. I LOVE Leanne; and it’s so heartbreaking to see her miss the team twice. I wish she had more difficulty 😭
@@cocoroni1031 Even if she could be called consistent, she did NOT "show it at Worlds". Considering she's continued to have problems this season, it's not objective to look at her some kind of super reliable gymnast right now. I already think it was a mistake to take her to Worlds last year, since she had no top 3 event, and now she's even more behind the field.
