Hi, nice Bluesky people! This account should be mostly about gymnastics, mostly German, European, Kaylia Nemour & a bit of other African Feds. Mostly WAG, but more and more MAG and RG, too. I am interested in watching how international sports organisation (do not) work. As a lawyer by training...

Well, that was not Elena Colas' day, unfortunately - but still: She won silver. And I am very happy for Minamino Yume, who had the best and cleanest competition of the day and deserved to win today. 3rd places goes to Nishiyama Misa.

With Colas' UB desaster, she needs to improve her last two routines to still win this if Nishiyama hits her QF scores. This could be very close.

German media is picking up on Melnikova competing for Chemnitz in the Bundesliga later today. Let's just say it's not getting a lot of applause.
Here is an article from one of the German public broadcasters:

Russische Weltmeisterin: Heftige Diskussionen um Auftritt von Turnerin Angelina Melnikowa
Die russische Turn-Weltmeisterin Angelina Melnikowa wird im baden-württembergischen Esslingen für den TSV Tittmoning-Chemnitz antreten. Sie gilt als Unterstützerin des Putin-Regimes.

The CAS has ruled against multiple feds that had a blanket ban against Russian athletes recently, and ordered them to allow AINs under the IOC framework. So I expect Russia to file a case against European Gymnastics if they keep their ban, as they just did against the FIS' blanket ban.

My dear friend @bretonstripes.bsky.social has taken the data from my score tracker and built a website so that it is more easily accessible on mobile devices. It's not a replacement for my sheet but should make it more usable for some.

I did not miss the discourse™️ about who was robbed because of [insert preferred conspiracy theory] because a decision went one way or the other by a 0.1 margin.

I think it's fair to say the IOC is more than a bit mad about Indonesia and the FIG. They basically just de-facto-banned Indonesia from hosting competitions for the time being and summoned the Indonesian NOC and the FIG to explain themselves at the IOC headquarters. www.olympics.com/ioc/news/ioc...
