xfinity US Gymnastics Championships 2023 - Senior Day 2

I got home from work, got a snack, and booted up Peacock TV to watch the second day of the gymnastics championships. Wow! They didn't disappoint. Although Jordan took a fall off the bars today. 

Simone Biles made gymnastics history - the 8-time US national all-around champion!! She is so amazing to watch!!

xfinity US Gymnastics Championships 2023 - Senior Day 1

So happy to have PeacockTV since I can stream! I finally watched Day 1 for the Seniors. We were gaming last night so I wasn't able to watch. LOL!

Simone shined again! All of them did awesome! Suni only performed on vault and beam this round but she still did great! It is so hard to tell that she is battling kidney disease.

xfinity US Gymnastics Championships 2023 - Juniors

I LOVE watching these girls perform!!! They did fantastic. I am so happy that I can stream now. When we had cable TV, if you missed, you missed it! I watch both Junior and Senior championships, but it's the Seniors that I am most interested in, although my favorite Juniors are Kieryn and Hezly, who just happened to be named Junior All Around Champion.

Core Classics 2023 - Session 2

Loved seeing these girls (Jade, Simone, Jordan, and Suni) compete tonight!!!

And oh my gosh - Simone freaking did it - again!!! Simone Biles just performed an EXCELLENT Yurchenko double pike!! Heck yes!!!! 😍 This after she hasn't competed since Tokyo. She did awesome! All of the girls did great and we have some younger up and coming gymnasts that everyone needs to keep their eyes on.

 

Core Classics 2023 - Session 1

I follow USA Gymnastics on Facebook and I got to thinking after seeing some of their posts that I need to invest in upgrading my Peacock TV. I did just that and now was able to catch the podium trainings and Session 1 of the Core Classic. Heck yes!!! I missed the first 35 minutes because I forgot it was EST time. LOL!  

Joscelyn, who actually resides in Spring, Texas, remains in the lead even after that crazy fall off bars!! 😊 So excited for tonight!!! Simone is returning and will be competing in her first comp since the Tokyo Olympics!!

I LOVE Gymnastics

My love for gymnastics started at the age of three when my mom decided to enroll me in a gymnastics and tumbling class at R.D. Evans Recreation Center. It's here that l learned the fundamentals of gymnastics - from front/back rolls, somersaults and handstands, to cartwheels, leaps, and back handsprings. 

I would somersault and cartwheel through the house. LOL! I would use two by fours out in the backyard as a balance beam. And I probably hurt myself numerous times. It was on this day in 1984 that Mary Lou Retton scored her Perfect 10's at the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles 🥇

I remember telling my mom that I was going to be the next Mary Lou Retton. LOL! I was never in competitive gymnastics, only recreation gymnastics. When I was seven years old, I sustained a balance beam injury. It was a routine with a basic cartwheel dismount but my left foot came back down on the beam at an angle and slid off the side, the momentum slamming me down onto the beam, causing a straddle injury. Yep, this would lead me to my first visits with a gynecologist and urologist. Needless to say, recreational gymnastics pretty much ended for me afterwards, but I have forever remained a gymnastics fan. Every year I have to tune in somewhere, somehow to watch the gymnastic competitions.
