Tokyo Olympics: Women's Qualifying

Published: July 25, 2021, 4:22 p.m.

Our instant reactions after watching a full day of the women's gymnastics qualifying round at the Tokyo Olympics:

  • Simone didn't have her best competition, Rebeca Andrade placed second AA.
  • The US finished behind Russia by more than a point going into Team Finals.
  • Defending Olympic medalists failed to even make finals including Sanne Wevers on beam.
  • Danusia Francis may have gotten the highest Execution score of the meet.
  • Chuso got the standing ovation farewell she deserved.
  • Tom Forster used the words of survivors to justify his poor decision making.

Throughout the entire gymnastics Olympic competition we will be recording a live show from Tokyo. Our regular weekly public podcast will resume after the Olympics. In the meantime, here is a sample of our coverage for everyone; and our club members, who have made this coverage possible, have access to the full episodes.
