IIRC, she finished with the 3rd best individual score but didn't go on because there's a two-person limit per country. Nevertheless, this is much ado about nothing imo. I would've put my hand on my heart like I do at every event where that happens, but I've never been on an Olympic podium either. Armchair gymnasts who probably can't jump more than a foot off the ground don't have a lot of room to talk.

If she's good enough to help her team while pouting, more power to her. The thought of the dregs of the internet critiquing an multi-time Olympic gold medalist is laughable. Twitter (and social media in general) have become so toxic that if it all disappeared over night, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Of course certain cons on here will try to justify this crap and even blame her. why am I not surprised? the podium thing is trivial and it is pathetic that people would (predictably I might add) turn that into a problem. she has accomplished a lot at such a young age, what she has sacrificed to accomplish those goals is incredible, and is an incredible role model. and yet people love tearing her down.

Where in this thread has any criticism of this gymnast been more than very mild? Stop creating drama and dissent where none exists.

So glad Im not watching this stupid ****. Who cares what she did?

Gabby probably saw all the critcisms on social media and on the internet. She didn't need to cake up in makeup and lipstick or worry about her hair. I think she's pretty no matter what anyone says imo.

People are a-holes.

You picked the wrong thread if you think someone in this forum is going to say she's pretty.
