I’m not bullying anyone. I think Laney is impressive in that she’s both a cheerleader and a gymnast, and what she’s accomplished in a short amount of time is commendable. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s not a world class gymnast and her scores back up that claim. And it doesn’t make her Dad any less of a dunce ..read more

I really feel like the All Around documentary is not capturing Yile’s uniqueness. I don’t know if it’s the editing or if she’s just shy with the camera around.
To compensate, here are some of the fun facts about her:
She’s the resident “tastemaker”. She’s responsible for Liu Tingting’s new hairstyle. Ting2 was reluctant at first, but Yile cut her own hair to show her “big sis Ting” how it would look and convinced her to do it.

Jessica from Gymcastic said that the rule is that gymnasts must be injured to be replaced in finals and that China are known for “faking injuries and Galieva’ing their athletes” because LTT competed in UB finals after she was replaced by TXJ in AA finals.
This is inaccurate in so many ways. The rules and technical regulations specifically say about the All Around and Event Finals that a federation can replace a gymnast with another from the same country as long as the gymnast qualified above the first reserve for any reason as long as it’s at before the 24 hour p ..read more

After a rocky team final, Liu TingTing is taken out of the all around and replaced by teammate Tang Xijing, who placed 21st in qualifications. Exceeding all expectations, Xijing hits all four events and ends up in silver medal position, making her the second Chinese gymnast to earn a world’s silver medal in Women’s Gymnastics history— their best finish to date ..read more
