Interesting that they are still allowing the Russian athletes to compete, but only under the ROC (Russian Olympic Committee).

Russia the country and all its symbolism like Flags have been banned for doping.
I thought the same thing. I wonder if it's to allow the russian athletes that didn't cheat to compete.

Would you have a choice in Russia? Either you dope or don’t make the team?

Why is this NBC sports app such shit

I don't think a woman over 5'5" could ever compete in gymnastics. The uneven bars can't accommodate someone that size.

Simone is medically a dwarf at 4'8". That's crazy.

Why isn’t NBC showing any stuff live in prime time?

Why do I have to go to NBCSN, CNBC and USA to find live in prime time?

The bar heights are adjusted for gymnast height.

I was thinking spacing, not height. That seems to be a huge disadvantage to taller gymnasts.

Is the Katie Ledecky 400M going to be on NBC or one of the sister channels?

As a fellow one……..Why are all the gymnast families a bunch of fat ass’s?

The tallest Gymnist is 5'7. Bronze in 2016.

Ok. Is she competitive? I bet not in all-around. She might be a specialist.

Kayla whatsherface that does the commercial with the frisbee on the roof said she was amazed how little the girls were when she was in 5th grade. She watched nationals in person and kind of freaked out. She finally stopped growing at 5'3" and became a specialist on the vault. It's a freak show, just like basketball players.
