Pouf looks strange...like a regal way to say fart. It's called a poof because it's a poofy hairstyle. Not poufy...lol

I think it's cute! Any bigger and it probably wouldn't hold up during her events.

I think she meant the spelling. I also think He Kexin is no longer competing. She retired last year

I tried watching but they could not hold my attention... I'm also watching football so that was also part of the problem

It's so weird to think that this is Worlds month in gymnastics. Our excitement doesn't come until April.

Thanks for posting - haha - I love how I get all these great links for gymnastics from a cheer board! Haha!
Boy, did Russia mess up on beam - not even the falls, but you can tell they missed a lot of connections - they always have such pretty skills on beam though - love the double turns and the one girl who did a leg spin (wow) - USA just nowhere near as elegant.
USA looked a little shaky on beam too, but at least everyone stayed on and hit their routines. We had issues on bars though. Simone on floor - just wow - wow! She does those double layouts like its nothing, and she has to be like 20 feet high in that first pass of hers. She is in a whole other league in that event.
I do like Russia's leos - they have a Cheer Xtreme vibe going on ;). Hehehe.

Does anyone know why Komova isn't competing for Russia?

She suffered an ankle injury, this is the 2nd World Championships she's missing out on. =(
ETA: My favourite floor specialist from the Russian team, Ksenia Afanasyeva, is also out with an injury. Half the Russian team members were swapped out/in in the past month.

She was injured over the summer and was only ready on bars. The head of the Russian Gymnastics Federation made it a requirement that athletes have to do two events to make the team.

this question has nothing to do with worlds, but since it's a gymnastics-specific random question I figured I'd put it here? sorry.
Saw on twitter that Bailie Key verbally committed to Florida recently... is this the norm? she isn't even senior-elgible yet (and hasn't competed since elbow surgery) granted she is a phenomenal athlete; she actually won all four individual apparatuses and all-around in an international competition in 2013. crazy talented. but she's still a baby! do other sports recruit athletes and have them commit this young (like prior to entering high school)?
