I lived just around the corner from the rink there and Challenge Cup and the baby Wheaton teams (and NavBoms!) were always a treat. It helped dance become my favorite discipline. I’m still sad that McNamara/Carpenter split but hope that if she and Anton want to continue they can find...

Are the earlier GPs no longer available to watch on Peacock or am I looking in the wrong place?

My bad. I had Denny Hamlin on my mind as a friend told me a story about how her BIL's sister wanted to bring someone she met online to Easter dinner to meet in person for the first time. It was supposedly Denny Hamlin. And he needed money because he was getting divorced...

I’m emergency medicine. Hour codes are rare but for someone younger, fit, and intermittently with a pulse, it’s hard to stop CPR. I’d kinda suspected this was the case reading between the lines in prior updates, definitely explains a lot. SOOO thankfully he seems to be doing relatively well...

He should be fine, we're far enough inland in Columbia that the storm won't be very strong. Flooding is the biggest risk as Five Points and some areas downtown do flood in heavy rains. If he's got a car he'll want to make sure that it's high and dry. So far it's been pretty underwhelming...

Clemson just hired their inaugural coach - Amy Smith from Utah State. I don’t follow NCAA close enough to know much about her career other than what’s in the article but I’m hoping she’s successful. I think Clemson fans will really embrace the program and see no reason why they can’t compete...

Why why why would USAG name extra alternates (a replacement team) because of COVID but then not have the 2 groups separate from each other?! Oh there's no confusion! She's was pretty clear her scientist parents didn't want her vaccinated. If she's rooming with Eaker who is now positive and...

A USA Today article said he'd had COVID a few months ago. Hopefully he's still got antibodies...

Post-Tokyo will be interesting. Simone will make Tom look competent by likely leading the team to gold and picking up lots of hardware for herself. But after that? Who knows what kind of depth and success they'll have with retirements and athletes moving on to NCAA careers. The juniors have...

Interesting that Skinner gets a +1 but she’s gotta beat Biles/Carey to make EF so it seems like a waste of a spot IMO. Just glad she isn’t on the team and thrilled for Grace after coming back from injury. I guess Tom went with the covering all the bases pick as opposed to someone that would...

DiCello and Wong have been pretty reliable on VT/FX though and that's where they'd be called upon in TF's.

My pre-night 2 predictions for the team would be Biles, Lee, Chiles, and Wong with Carey & Riley as the +1's. McCusker gets the nod over Eaker because she's been more consistent on her event and it'd potentially be a 2nd athlete into the EF if she and Suni were to hit. Not sure if McCusker is...

The priorities for qualifying for the US Olympic team are #1 the 1st-4th place athletes in the 100 and 200 freestyle events plus the 1st place finishers in all other events. Then priority #2 is 2nd place finishers. #3 is 5th place for 100/200m freestyle events. #4 is 6th place for 100/200m...

Clemson just announced the addition of women’s gymnastics starting in 2023-24. As an NCAA gym fan and Clemson grad I’m super excited!

I didn't say she or her father were self centered but you can't have your cake and eat it too. I definitely blame the higher ups. They 100% should have made it clear that if you get a +1 nominative spot, you're out of the running for the 4 person team. I think the new rules were confusing and...
