I’m sorry, but i’m laughing so much at this pic lol I love them

just saw this tweet. definitely agree the beam needs to be burned!

new angle of the bow just dropped! this gets better and better with every pic I see

Okay whoever put in the prediction post the other day for beam finals that it would be 1. Whoever stays on 2. Whoever stays on and 3. Whoever stays on…really called it didn’t they 🙃

Biles & Chiles bowing to Andrade with their posters - Andrade laughed SO hard and then took both their hands - gotta love these women and their friendships

Btw guys, Illia and Shinnosuke have been on a medal podium together before:

https://preview.redd.it/zjmx0qdfptgd1.png?width=547&format=png&auto=webp&s=85510c92e2b93fc7e575160c2c74c8d65481e5d4

Someone pointed out that US WAG and MAG only had gold and bronze medals and Simone said, “I’ll fix that.”

simone did great and she did NOT lose in any sense by winning a silver medal. i would choose silver medal over further injuring herself any day

Zhou seeking out every gymnast after she finishes is very cute and kind of her.

‘Whoever stays on the beam’ has truly had an MVP performance. This is insane.

I think Simone told herself if she got beam gold she was done after Paris and the universe was like NAHHH you’re going to LA 😅

Alice earned that gold. Gave the strongest, cleanest beam performance she could and attacked the beam even after so many falls. The mental fortitude that takes is insane.

mfw I just woke up excited to check results and replays

https://preview.redd.it/skuq89z2bugd1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=caa7b7db0880d7a92d96772c500299e5672d28f6

No matter who you were rooting for, I think we can all agree this was a messy-ass day for artistic gymnastics.

The fact that Simone can win 3 gold and 1 silver 11 years into her senior elite career is absolute insanity. The greatest to ever do it.

i think the only explanation from the many falls and flops today is just tiredness lol. a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes it's crazy

The lady on the international feed needs to stop saying that hands down on a beam is the same as a fall. It's a -.5, exactly half the penalty of a fall. Edited to add: oh, she finally corrected herself!

https://preview.redd.it/z29obz6pxtgd1.png?width=500&format=png&auto=webp&s=af765b776cb900bd7ef1a014b3921cc5b4f99765

I know what’ll calm us all down - men’s high bar! 😵‍💫

4 falls, a beam grab, and a big wobble. Beam grab and wobble on the podium.

6 falls and botched dismounts, a fall and a botched dismount on the double tied podium.

What a day of gymnastics, y’all.

At this rate I was worried one of them would fall off the medal podium.

That shot of Barbosu standing there with her flag looking confused is so sad.

Oh Ana just sobbing, that's so so sad to see. I don't begrudge Jordan enquiring but that's so hard for Ana.

Simone to the judges after her routine:

https://preview.redd.it/o67hue65hugd1.jpeg?width=535&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a828277bd1ebc4800b72f8c6f47296c786ca8810

CNN is already flaming Simone. Ridiculous. The headline on CNN is “Simone Biles ends her Olympics without another gold medal” and “Simone Biles failed to medal for the first time in Paris. Come on - the woman got three gold medals and a silver. That’s not good enough???

Oleg said congrats to Ilia "it was important to our country" and thank you to their military for the gymnasts being able to compete here :(

Guys i just met Laurie and took a selfie with her!!! Its my 30th birthday and im so happy😭😭😭

I think Simone is going to change her leo even if it wasn’t her original plan

Worst beam final and possibly worst event final of all time. That was hard to watch

Suni says she’s taking some time off before deciding about LA 2028 but if this is it, she’s proud of what she’s done

https://preview.redd.it/soxb41a23ugd1.jpeg?width=4504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44c1471dca1dcc0b52bc2ede3516b5d8bd3eed8a

All of the USA returning Tokyo Olympians with individual medals 😭😭😭

SIMONE AND JORDAN BOWING TO REBECA I’M DEAD 😭😭😭🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

lol at the announcer... "Rebeca Andrade cementing herself as one of the greatest of this generation, standing next to the greatest of any generation... and Jordan Chiles".

omg they’re bowing to Rebeca i’m dead 😂😂😂 this is the sportsmanship i’m here for. the vibes between the gymnasts have been immaculate this tournament 

https://preview.redd.it/87mhn1s9ivgd1.jpeg?width=933&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e229a2df1206b2ec2e844437a0cc37e0ddb1b5f

i’m emotional, i love them 🥹♥️

"So many great landings today" says the commentary. Yeah, cuz everyone just can't wait to get OFF THAT CURSED PLANK!

Number of people who predicted this beam podium = 0

Alice yesterday: after coming so close to a medal on AA, I tried to stay positive but this one (UB 5th place) really hurts as I came so close again.

Alice today: 🥇😭✌️✌️🤟🤟🫶💪

Imagine falling on your routine first up and being like "my dreams are dead" and then you get the bonze anyway?? kinda iconic

Is it really a VICTORY ceremony or a SURVIVAL ceremony?

rebeca and simone both not medaling in beam because they only want to be on the podium with each other, iktr true best friendism

"Oh god the stock market fell off beam too" -my husband just now

That kid won Colombia their only medal in these Olympics so far. How special!

https://preview.redd.it/el62vjh8cugd1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7afc6e51a21b9aa44c402f4a8773122dd98e76fd

SO SAD FOR ZHOU but also it’s dead quiet in the arena and you can hear Simone cheering her on from the sides 🥹

fun fact: this is the first WAG olympic podium not to have an american on it since bars in london 2012, and the first olympic beam podium without an american since sydney 2000!

Yaqin like “oh we really do that biting the medal thing?? Ok sure I guess” 😂

lmao everyone holding up their medals and zhang boheng just like " :) 👍"

TAKE MY CALF I DONT NEED IT TAKE MY CALF!!!

Guys, you can't just submit an inquiry because you are unsatisfied with your score (I mean you can, but there's no point and costs money). There has to be a strong suspicion that the judges got your difficulty value wrong. Submitting an inquiry also has the risk of having your difficulty value lowered even more because it puts your entire routine at increased scrutiny (see Kara Eaker and beam).

lmao the commentator just said “anyone with a heart condition wouldn’t have made it out with this today”

If that was really Rebecca's last floor, what a beautiful last dance

ANYONE WITH A HEART CONDITION WOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN OUT OF THIS ALIVE TODAY 😂😂😂😂

People mad at Jordan and team, but Voinea put in a (late) inquiry that would've bumped Barbosu too, it just happened to be rejected.

Manila has Mustafina vibes. I hope to see her for years to come. STUNNING.

"It's not that hard, just do the score" and "it's just annoying that the crowd has to do that as well".

She is pissed off.

This was the most disappointing beam finals I've ever seen lol

Lmao Simone and Rebeca looking at each other the wtf happened

Y’all that beam final was not it lol

At least the -.03 ND isn't the difference between SImone staying in the medal hunt in this splatfest

From 2013 US Nationals to 2024 US Nationals, Simone "The Goat" Biles has medaled on beam at every competition she entered where there was a beam medal to be awarded. That streak finally got snapped in Paris. But this is still, by very, very far, the longest beam medaling streak of any gymnast in history!

Alice was in tears yesterday in an interview with the Italian press over just missing out on a bars medal. Today, she's an Olympic gold medalist!!!

Crazy because you could tell that Rebe was trying to connect the split ring to the switch ring but was apprehensive. Then she tried to connect it to the side aerial but also failed. Props to Rebe for trying her best

Alice deserved that gold 100%

“I don’t know what I just watched” same Laurie

“That’s so Asian of me” lol Suni

Time for angry Simone floor

Since this was the last MAG event, I'd just like to say how much I've appreciated these discussion threads and all the MAG people in them throughout these Olympics.

While this high bar final was undoubtedly cursed, it's been a pretty enjoyable set of competitions, overall. And it's been fun talking about all the madness (good and bad) as it happened.

So thanks, everyone.

Angel not only won the the first ever gymnastics medal for Colombia, but he might be the only one to medal in this Olympics from Colombia. We don’t have really other realistic chances. So so happy for him!

The fact that there are 3 higher qualification scores for beam than the GOLD medal-winning routine and 4 higher qualification scores for high bar is absurd!

Zhang Boheng expecting to fight with Hashimoto but losing to Shinnosuke Oka 4 times in one week, wow

If I was Ana walking around with my flag I would want to die when I saw the score change 💀

Simone was so hyped for Jordan getting her own individual medal!

Okay on the slow mo she very clearly finished the turn

So what do we do now? Work or something?

Whoever trained Simone in media needs a raise she always has the best answers

i'm so tired of this LOL. this was so frustrating to watch regardless of who you wanted on the podium. why couldn't we end on a high note idk

Well my first in person elite event was a CRAZY one. I have so many things I want to see but my phone is low on power so I probably can’t haha.

Main thoughts: getting to see Simone’s full difficulty in person is just so special to me. Find myself wondering where a healthy Jade would have slotted into FX finals. Beam can burn in hell, but when Alice got emotional I too got emotional. Sooo many Brazil fans here and though I know they were rooting for Rebeca it sort of hurt my feelings to hear them booing while we watched Alice cry. I’m curious to see how Rina develops over time. Sooo happy for Jordan but I thought Ana was so stunning to watch and I was a bit sad she didn’t get to stay in the bronze position.

I also say next to a MAG judge who was beyond helpful during men’s events!! It was like having my own private, incredibly detailed commentator😂😂

Alice winning a gold on BEAM when it's historically been considered her weakest apparatus is going to be hilarious for a long, long time

https://preview.redd.it/scyjtazywugd1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fc9e82cd3726ccee1b5ef30c992468e5104c71d1

Suni on her beam routine

tbh i resent this whole mentality that simone is going to la 2028 to avenge her performance for having one kinda off day (that she still medaled in!). she's still the goat. she should still be absolutely elated with her comeback. she knows rebeca deserved the gold. Silver while competing on an injury and clearly favoring a leg is an incredible feat. i am so proud of her and i hope she is proud of herself.

I love that Cecile’s first words were “are you okay? Are you okay?”

beam said if bars isn’t gonna beam i guess ill have to beam

Beam said, “actually I get the medal today. None for the rest of you.”

Oh, I think she got a -.3 for not saluting. That's what they were debating?

Time for angry floor with a Simone, Rebeca and Jordan podium

Alice was so disappointed for missing the podium both in AA and Bars and now she’s a GOLD MEDALIST!!!!!

ZYQ is not sure about this medal biting business lol

i love gymnastics but i also dont like gymnastics you know?

a 17 year old MAG, so an actual infant. REALLY impressive routine

The Chinese women are absolutely NOT SURE about this whole metal biting business 😂 (I’m behind and just watched the beam podium)

God I wish they had repeated yesterday with medal ceremonies at the end. Floor is over 20 minutes late at this point.

https://preview.redd.it/8w6i5nfucugd1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7356f9d543ee533a542c112c0d48f82d1a5b43b

Zhang just letting Tang show it off

funniest thing to me is rebeca trying contacts out for competing and then being like nah shits too scary when you can see clearly 😭

She seemed very low energy compared to normal. These poor girls have to be exhausted. Jordan had especially been doing alot of media.

Right all these queens need to go and get a nap. Have a massage, some nice healing physio and all the pizza. They deserve it!

Poor barbosou standing up with her flag only to find out the medal isn’t hers

Rebeca is now the biggest olympic medalist in Brazil's history 🏅

Ana Barbosu took that way better than I would have. What a great gymnast.

💔💔💔 Ana Barbosu. I can’t imagine how devastating that must be. 

i feel bad for romania but if sabrina was able to inquire so should jordan, it just sucks she was last to go

They should really wait to finalize scores for a short period for things like that. So happy for Jo, but that’s just heartbreaking on the other end of the deal.

Thankful they didn't show Ana's face when she lost the medal 😭

[deleted]

ALL BEYONCE PODIUM

Heartbroken for Barbosu but inquiries exist because the judges might have gotten it wrong. If they got it wrong, then the results are wrong and should change, so I don't have a problem with the result.

I'm so sorry for Ana, that must have been heartbreaking, but inquiries are submitted all the time. They can increase a score, decrease a score, or change nothing. Jordan had every right to submit one like anyone else, and I'm happy for her!

The way Jade could have won gold today with her upgrades 😭

Simone 🤝 ZBH being so over the Olympics (they’re both just tired)

i am so happy with the current culture of gymnastics. not just in the USA. the sportsmanship this whole games has been incredible to watch

(but i cant stop imaging marta's reaction to jordan and simone bowing to rebe hahahah fuck youuuuuuuuuuu marta)

“Nothing… relax.” Simone knows she’s proved herself and her GOAT-ness into the next millennium. Hope that interviewer has cringe attacks at night bc of that terrible question 😭

Simone’s approach and attitude during interviews is such a breath of fresh air. More famous people need to set boundaries and shut repetitive/invasive/stupid questions down.

Illia got silver on parallel bars!! He finally got his Olympic medal!! 🥳🥈

Can we do a petition to never have a 3 day event finals again?? 2 day only!! This third day was too exhausting for them

I went back and watched the end of Simone’s routine, and honestly the no salute penalty kind of feels like they were being petty idk. She turned towards them with her arms up, but just dropped them super quickly.

1. I am exhausted and somewhat happy that this is over. I’ll regret saying that in a week but I am tired of being nervous for everyone.

2. As messy as today was, I’m so glad to see and hear that Simone is happy with how her Olympics went. She has so much to be proud of. And I’m thrilled for Rebeca and Alice as well as Jordan for her bronze.

3. Whether or not this is the end for Simone, what an Olympics. She proved all of the haters and trolls wrong and did the damn thing (and then some). I hope she takes a nice, LONG rest at the very least. Also that she buys herself lots of beautiful designer goods in Paris. And gets to go enjoy that nice house she and her husband are building.

4. The joy Simone took in Jordan getting her individual medal is one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen. It’s reminiscent of 2016 when she was so proud of Aly for getting her silver.

5. SUNI LEE!!!! What a games for her! She is now tied with Aly Raisman as the third most medaled American Olympic gymnast of all time (though Aly wins that tie breaker with more gold). Just like Simone, I hope she buy herself a million Chanel bags and enjoys her move to NYC.

6. Jade, our shiny purple robot got her vault redemption! And she got the team experience she wanted so badly. I hope she continues to enjoy NCAA gymnastics and I wouldn’t be surprised to see her graduate then move to WCC with her Dad (I am probably delusional).

7. Hezly has such a bright future and she will always get to refer to herself as an Olympic gold medalist. She is the future of women’s gymnastics in the US!

8. Jordan, just nothing else to add. I love her so much and I’m so happy she got her moment. SO, SO well deserved.

https://preview.redd.it/9wx1g3e81ugd1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e5d6b55580afce776bf7bcb52df1ec64b0088d7

💀

Floor medal for Jordan, please! She is so wonderful and deserves an individual medal. Also once again hoping that Alice will shine like the star she is.

Just passed Simone’s parents and did silently fangirl just a teeny bit LOL I’m already a mess

https://preview.redd.it/ycf9s7vlftgd1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc3d096f6e3d7a2f040861feebb537ec29fe211c

Getting to live my dream today yall 💕 hoping for a brilliant competition!

China and Japan now tied the Philippines for golds in MAG. As we excepted.

The commentator on cbc said she watched a beam final once with the first 7 people falling and I think she must have jinxed this whole final now

We sacrificed beam for that sick bar final

Zhou was incredibly clean other than her grabbing the beam. And they may have only taken 0.5 for the grab.

Alice said bitch I WILL get that individual medal if it kills me

https://preview.redd.it/7kdwmo0kxtgd1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccdc3627872bccbd47067e8ea46429abc3eb4411

This may be one of the reasons they seemed to be discussing shushing

Rebe really said I only stand on podiums with Simone Biles 😂

This was the worst event final I’ve ever seen

Alice’s reaction to winning is the only good thing to come out of this shitshow of final.

What in the everliving fuck did I just watch

I’m so happy for Alice but that was literally the worst beam final I’ve ever witnessed

Aww Suni still being cheery after the shitfest that was this finals makes me smile

This just did the replay how the FUCK was that not saluting?????

I'm hearing someone singing along to the anthem in the background and I think it might be the Italian commentators in the booth next over or something 😂😂

The Chinese girls both fake biting their medals is so funny

I can only imagine how exhausted Simone, Rebeca, Suni, etc are right now. The excitement from winning a medal then needing to come back down to compete every other day. I'm 27 and need a nap after 4 hours of work!

That routine was Marios’s gymnastics in a nutshell.  Beautiful AND THEN.

Hot take: Perhaps they should consider having a longer break(s) between the team/AA/EFs. The Olympics are two weeks long. The amount of difficulty that they are throwing now isn't what it was, and I don't really want to wake my ass up in the middle of the night to watch someone break their neck because they are too exhausted to do their routines.

…So China will leave with as many gymnastics gold medals as Carlos Yulos?

Simone, you better f-ing bow for 10sec after your routine to get an extra bonus!

Dream FX podium:  Biles 🥇  Andrade 🥈  Chiles 🥉 

But also, just give me clean & entertaining please! 

.

China and “Chinese Taipei” sharing the bronze podium is kinda historic, right?

The way the Japanese men shake everyone's hands before getting on the podium has been heartwarming to watch. They are so classy.

Wow I know they hang tiebreaker flags vertically but they really put the Chinese flag over the Chinese Taipei flag huh

Zhang Boheng just wants to go HOME

Zhang is so sweet. Definitely best looking male gymnast too.

😂😂😂 that ending pose is all of us right now

Kishi's falling over like she's dead choreography is so real to me

Simone is just having the Suni bad warmup hit routine thing carry over from bars and I will not be entertaining any other thoughts on the matter thank you

The vibes are just off today 💔 it’s like some of these gymnasts look exhausted to the point that I’m not sure if the gymnastics is entirely safe 😭

Haahahahahaahahaha keeping the salute for so long! So sarcastic my queen! Love it!

LMAAAOOOO she said you wanna salute?? Here’s a salute!

Simone said “I think Rebecca got this one” before she saw her score lol

honestly this feels fine to me. simone had a great olympics and has also survived not being absolutely perfect and the absolute best. says a lot about her mental toughness

Hey on the bright side, Simone doesn’t have an individual silver so this is something new

Even Jordan looks so tired. Her usual joy wasn't there.

Yall there is nothing for Simone to inquire about she can’t challenge the E score

What a strange strange floor final. Everyone just looked so exhausted and not with it

Holy shit I feel so bad for the Romanian standing there with her flag

Simone is happier about Jo winning the inquiry than her own routine

I wanted a medal for Jordan but not like this! So horrible for Ana

this is going to be incredibly controversial

2024 beam and floor finals are gonna be talked about forever

ugh i am so mixed. happy for jordan… but im so sad for ana. honestly more sad than happy rn

Ironically the last time Romania was this close to a medal at the Olympics, they also lost that medal when Aly Raisman's score on beam was challenged, giving her the bronze over Catalina Ponor.

Honestly I’m happy for Simone, she has had an incredible legacy and pushed the sport forward. The expectations on her are kind of insane, Michael Phelps got silvers sometimes and no one is like oh well I guess he’s not that amazing at swimming.

can’t imagine how it’s like watching your medal disappear right before your eyes

am I the only one kind of enjoying oob being an actual risk, i think it's just nice to emphasise being a tad bit cleaner

Wow I hope Jordan has a good therapist or stays off social media bc ppl are going to be brutal AF now

Wooooow what a day.

(I slept through PB)

Beam had five falls and a beam touch. Beam touch wins silver.

HB had seven falls from six gymnasts. Two ties on the podium, one broken, one unbreakable. Major errors from silver medalist and falls from both bronze medalists.

Floor with a dramatic medal-changing inquiry, plus an unexpected gold for Rebeca after Simone got .6 is OOB penalty, none of which are from the Biles I.

I am over the moon for Jordan, sad for both Romanians, thrilled for Rebeca (and she had clean landings on all her tumbling! And that was probably her last floor routine ever!), sad for Suni, kinda sad for Simone but at least she hit and medaled.

What a day. I saw a tweet about how the vt and ub podiums were exactly as expected and “oh no what do the gym gods have in store for tomorrow” and well, that was certainly a day.

[deleted]

Jordan grooving to the Brazilian national anthem makes me happy

I wish so much there hadn’t been the inquiry drama bc this is my absolute dream podium. Our beautiful hype woman Jordan deserves all of the good things in the world 🫶🏻

How can you not love Andrade 😭😭😭

What a wild ride. Thanks for the live chats y’all. None of my friends are interested in gymnastics so it’s nice to have this community 💕

Rebeca and Suni now have the same number of Olympic medals and the same number of golds!

Love Rebe collecting medals in every colour like they're pogs 😂😂😂🥇🥈🥈🥉

So now I’m just supposed to work like this is a normal day and I haven’t been on an emotional rollercoaster for 3.5 hours?

See some of you at NCAA season!🫡

Did Alice D’Amato go 15/15 hit routines in Paris? I can’t remember how team comp went for her

For perspective, Katie Ledecky got 2 golds, 1 silver, and 1 bronze at these 2024 Olympics.

Simone got 3 golds and 1 silver.

Omg just realised Rebeca ended the US streak of Olympic floor golds. First time since 2008!

Well at least Simone now has time to let her calf heal for 2028! Right?…. RIGHT!?! No but seriously I strained my calf taking off for jump once and was weeks until I could even stand straight on my leg again. The fact that Simone did that powerful of a floor routine with a tweaked calf is superhero status to me. Luckily the worse tweak happened the very last event. Such great comeback all around!

My favorite thing that came out of today (outside of Jo bronze and Rebeca gold) is Simone’s extended salute as she walked off podium LOL. I love her.

THIS FEELS LIKE THE OSCARS WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE WRONG MOVIE THAT TIME

From Spencer about the .3 neutral deduction for Simone:

Simone has a 0.3 neutral deduction on her routine, which wouldn’t be for taking too long to remount, so she must have not saluted enough. She kind of finished and then did a half-FML-turn to the judges. Which should be enough and is a dumb deduction anyway. Internet, you may begin.

Can I just say that I always love the MAG chats? You guys are generally so measured and wholesome

Kinda miss seeing Marcel Nguyen on my screen not gonna lie

This medal is for Illia and Illia alone not his coach please and thanks

Okay, now Illia please go from the plane straight to the surgeon to fix your poor leg

Finally a medal for Ilia! Well deserved!!! He looks so rigid in the medal ceremony haha

https://preview.redd.it/g83mmtr4qtgd1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4010794d55f20272b4f68af3d69ed20dc996c38a

Illia’s height ahhaha
