@jonjones229 3 teams finished Event 4….

@jonjones229 I’m so annoyed at this constant talk of Lauren fishers shoulder. If she’s there and competing she’s fine. Everyone is a bit injured. Stop making excuses

 

[psalm51flower]

@ellorienne Actually she's clearly not fine. She couldn't even complete the dips. They took a gamble that her shoulder would be serviceable but clearly it's not.

 

[ellorienne]

@psalm51flower Took a gamble when they knew it wasn’t fine? They knew there would many many workouts using shoulders. It doesn’t make sense not to bring in an alternate.

 

[trouverun]

@ellorienne Katrin is their alternate, they decided to go with Lauren right before they checked in for the games. Doesn’t make sense to me..

 

[psalm51flower]

@ellorienne So you think her shoulder is fine and she just doesn't have the ability to do dips?

 

[ellorienne]

@psalm51flower No I’m saying if she can’t even do dips why didn’t they use an alternate? If they thought she was good enough to compete why didn’t they test the most basic movements? It’s obviously hurting her. It doesn’t make sense why they kept her on the team

This was your original comment, so you've really changed your tune.

 

[ellorienne]

@psalm51flower No what I’m saying if she’s there and the team kept her on then everyone thought her shoulder was good to go. So they don’t need to keep talking about her injury.

If they thought there was an issue then they wouldn’t have kept her on the team

Unfortunately it seems like she lied about her shoulder or something to be kept on

 

[psalm51flower]

@ellorienne It's a heart-wrenching situation any way you look at it. Maybe she was guilty of wishful thinking herself that she could grit through the movements. She did get through the first set of 8 dips but then got stuck on the return trip down the P-bars. Based on the statements made by Annie and Lauren on Monday, they knew she wasn't 100% but you also lose something if you sub in someone who hasn't been practicing with the team.

It's easy to be judgmental from afar. My heart goes out to them. I don't think she was maliciously "lying"; it's gotta be killing her to be the one holding back her team.
