357 Not sure if im allowed to ask but why is ferrer out?

She said on instagram that she was not competing this season due to personal issues, and did not elaborate. It seems serious and something she doesn't want to openly talk about. I hope she's doing well/better, though :/

The meet was till in the balance and she gave it all she had. Why can't some of you appreciate the great athletes we have instead of trying to find the negatives that you know nothing about.

I swear, I have never seen any other sport where fans hold each other to this kind of standard when talking about athletic performance. We shouldn't have to soften *constructive* criticism by also making sure to applaud what they did well, they are competitors. Judges don't care if a gymnast is "giving it all she has," they score the routine they see in front of them (theoretically at least lol). She is the most decorated member of this team and she is objectively underperforming based on what we know she can do. Pointing that out is not a personal attack, and it's not nitpicking or "focusing only on the negatives" considering the impact it has had over the first month of the season.

It was good to watch them fight for it even after basically losing the meet in the first rotation. It's still early, I certainly don't think this spells doom for the rest of the season, but they can't bounce back if they don't address what they did wrong.

This is for the board in general. Do they have the girls in dance classes in the of season? Girls that can dance(Sarah Finnagan) look so much more natural and relaxed when they can. You can leterally see some girls thinking what there going to do next. Its so robotic. It really takes away from the performance.

If Kathy's tone has changed toward LSU, I would put money on this being the reason. She loves girls with good dance technique and lines. That's why she was so crazy for Sarah. We don't have any gymnasts like that on the team this year, unfortunately, and the absence is quite glaring.
