If it aint broke don't fix it - Valeri Liukin

I'm wondering about Valeri? Do you think he is going to change the program? The US doesn't have strong juniors coming up. Will that sabotage Valeri's leadership?

Best gymnast per quad

Who would you consider the best gymnast of each quad. Here would be my choices.

1973-1976- Andrianov, Commaneci
1977-1980- Dityatin, Commaneci (nobody is really a solid choice though)
1981-1984- Bilozertchev, Yurchenko
1985-1988- Bilozertchev, Shushunova
1989-1992- Gutsu (nobody is really a solid choice, Boginskaya is the only other decent option), Scherbo
1993-1996- Podkopayeva, Scherbo
1997-2000- Khorkina, Nemov
2001-2004- Khorkina, Paul Hamm (gags)

Chinese Gymnastics Appreciation: Post-Rio

Good time as any to start a new thread for China.

This video has some videos (both qualification and podium training) from individual nationals. There are also videos from junior nationals including dance tests.

Do you think Gabby Douglas should train for Worlds 2017?

I for one think Gabby should train for Worlds because she has unfinished business. This is because she seemed to have ran out of solid training time before the Olympics. What do you think?

Bai Yawen and Yana Horokhova didn't compete although they were on the nominative roster.
