She was always worried about showing face/being seen. She always talked the talk but literally was the biggest liability in Beijing. Give me her teammate, Raisman all day , every day instead.

@@ferdyspearsshe had ONE bad day and you want to crucify her? Wow, talk about childish. She was still a great leader, multiple world champion and Olympic medalist in the end- and far more accomplished in life than you will ever be. She never had to worry about “being seen” on the television, she let her gymnastics speak for her.

I love how the commentators went on and on about how old Alicia Sacramone (at 19!) was but she ended up not only going to the Beijing Olympics but also continued competing very successfully until 2012. Simone is 27 and about to go to the olympics as the best in the world. It's crazy how things change.

2000 Olympics had 3 former Olympians (over 20) and 2004 had Mohini and Annia. 20 is NOT old. And 2016 had Gabby and Aly and 2021 likely has Simone, possibly Chelsea M and another former Olympian.

I can't believe they were saying 20 was too old for a woman gymnast. Wow. The sexism is unbelievable. 14:49 and again at 24:39 and at 26:34 (he shames the Romanian team for having a 24 year old on their team, by saying the chinese would NEVER allow that). That attitude has a lot to do with the Karolyis' poisonous legacy on this sport. The karolyis forced women who were just reaching full adulthood to be considered "old" and pressured into retiring. They wanted young, starved gymnasts they could bully and order around, which is why they pretended that adult women were too old for the sport. What idiocy that everyone went along with that nonsense. Women are extremely resilient. Our bodies don't give out years before men's bodies, and yet male gymnasts are much older. It was just about control for the Karolyis. They're lucky they got to retire and weren't made to stand trial for what they did to to generations of girls and young women. The karolyis set up such a sick, toxic world of abuse for young gymnasts that it made these girls extremely vulnerable to more abuse because they were afraid to speak up. That's how Nasser got away with his crimes for so long. One of the gymnasts told a story about how Nasser would secretly give them a piece of bread or a little snack behind the Karolyis back. He did that to groom them. It wouldnt have worked if the Karolyis hadn't been starving the girls. I'm just so glad they are out of gymnastics. Btw, this is all just my own opinions based on piblicly available news about them.

The point they were making was that, while many countries would not have been adverse to a 21-24 year old athlete, China would never have accepted it at that time. Chinese athletes were frequently around for- at most- one Olympic cycle, possibly two if they came into elite in the Olympic year. 21? Too old in their minds. The Karoly’s actually had no issues with age, just performance. Look at Mohini, Alicia, Aly, Gabby- all were 20-21 when they made the team. Their toxic trait was choosing athletes that didn’t rock the boat. The point they made with Catalina and the Romanian team was that she was not following past practices by not training in Deva- something unheard of in Belu’s dictatorship. That’s what they were getting across. Your point about the Karoli’s and control? Spot on.
