“FX doesn't have to be 'balletic' to be artistic - look at Jordyn Wieber, Rebeca Andrade, Laurie Hernandez, Vanessa Atler, Caitlin Rooskrantz, the Gadirova twins, etc - but it does require engaging with the music and choreography instead of just waving your arms about!”

Openly LGBTQIA+ Celebrities
These are celebrities who have recently come out as LGBTQIA+ or whom I’ve recently learned about or whom I hadn’t mentioned in previous posts of this type. Needless to say, this list is highly arbitrary and incomplete.

Continuing the tradition from my old blog (which has been unceremoniously deleted by tumblr without much of an explanation why) I’m doing daily posts during June to celebrate LGBTQIA+ pride by showcasing openly LGBTQIA+ celebrities and various content about or created by LGBTQIA+ people such as music videos, characters on TV shows, movie trailers, …

Thoughts watching the commonwealth games finals (first 2 rotations):
- Really like Jea Maracha! Not the highest difficulty, but she moves well and is enjoyable to watch!
- Apparently short pirouettes on bars irritate me to an almost absurd degree.
- Odine Achampong pulling a “yikes” face after her bars dismount lmao
- Alice Kinsella’s vault is a MESS, but her bars are lovely.
- Emma Yap has no difficulty to speak of on bars, but she swings really nicely (and covers pretty well out of a fairly dead hang).
- Commentators who say gymnasts legs are “glued together” when they’re obviously not make me feral. Also, saying they’re glued together when they’re twisted all around each other. Like yeah, I guess they are completely touching, but... not in a good way. Don’t make that sound good.
- Bent knees are to beam what short handstands are to bars. My absolute bugbear.
- Naveen Daries is allowed to keep doing wolf turns.
- I hate hate hate the pace/artistry/whatever requirement that makes gymnasts keep moving the entire time on beam. Almost none of them make it work, they just look silly waving their arms and prancing weirdly. They’re about to do big tricks, let them stand still a moment. It would be better.
- Caitlin Rooskrantz is beautiful on bars. I know she fell, I’m ignoring it. She is beautiful to watch.
- Cork hat lady in the audience I love you.
- Wow Emily Whitehead really did land her bars dismount in full tuck.
- “She had a little fight, but she won!” such a sweet way of talking about a bobble.
- I really enjoy Milka Gehani on beam! Lower difficulty, and a lot of bobbles, but all of her individual skills are super clean. Knees straight, toes pointed, position absolutely correct on each skill she does. “She’s got good discipline in her movements” - yes, that’s it! And she moves with real confidence and purpose between movements (and bobbles). Very impressed.
- Honestly, a number of these gymnasts from smaller (geographically or just gymnastically) countries are quite nice to watch on beam. They can’t do the difficulty, but they’ve clearly put the time into the quality.
- I normally don’t love the gymnasts who are aggressive and power their way through bars, but Georgia Godwin makes it work. I think it’s because she does also have good flow and a good swing, so she’s looks more like a daredevil than someone who’s angry at the bars haha
