Yes, worlds just ended. But it’s never too early to start debating the LA28 roster
One more day of the world gymnastics championships! Follow along for our coverage of Day 2 of event finals.
Before the all-around final began, Skye Blakey had ever won an individual medal at worlds. In less than 24 hours, she won three.

so the xx/xy group plan to 'protect women's sports' by infiltrating supporters' sections, whining online about being called names, then posting photos and trying to dox teams' most passionate fans? at this point not treating them like a hate group akin to the proud boys or kkk is willful ignorance.
Some hateful folks in the North End have their messaging blocked by flags and lead to a “Trans Lives Matter” chant
Skye Blakely couldn't imagine a way back in the aftermath of injuries at not one but two Olympic trials. Now she’s the world champion.
We're live blogging the women's AA. Follow along! www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Claire Pease has been rock solid throughout the world championships. It could win her an all-around medal.

Once again, we’ll be live blogging today’s competition. Follow along!

Nancy did not mince her words here. "The U.S. men are a likeable bunch. They work hard, and no one can ever question how much they care. But they don't give out medals for congeniality at the Olympics or world championships."
The US men keep saying they can win a gold medal in LA. Their sixth-place finish at these worlds was a reality check of where they stack up.
These world championships are letting everyone see what Simone Biles has known all along: Reese Esponda is special.

The US women have won every world title going back to 2011. Make no mistake, China and Russia have every intention of taking it from them this year.
Skye Blakely, Claire Pease and Reese Esponda made individual finals

Missing the world championships for a second year in a row is "a little bit devastating." But Hezly Rivera is finding other ways to help the US women. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Inexperience, late injury could have spelled doom for US women. They weren’t even fazed.

The US men get a do-over in the team final. They can’t make the same mistakes again
Sub-optimal for the U.S. women: For a second year in a row, Hezly Rivera will miss the world championships with an ankle injury.
U.S. women’s biggest competition was supposed to be Russia until Dutch officials denied their three best gymnasts visas. I’m no fan of lifting bans on Russia while it’s still raining hell on Ukraine. But host countries deciding who they like and don’t like is super problematic.
On my way to the airport for world gymnastics championships, where the U.S. women will be looking to extend a winning streak that started in 2011 and qualify for LA28.

Levering's radio call included the words "Oh my God, the Brewers win the pennant!" I don't think it was an accident. youtu.be/nPH9cWTJgdU...
