Its hard to believe that its been 20 years since the Magnificent Seven became the first U.S. womens gymnastics team to win Olympic gold as a team at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. And its even harder -- for those of us who remember the day firsthand, anyway -- to imagine its been 32 years since little Mary Lou Retton scored a perfect 10 on her first vault at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.Saturday night at Olympic trials, more than 140 former U.S. Olympic gymnasts, including the members of the two most famous teams in U.S. history, turned out for a family reunion of sorts in San Jose.The more distance I get, the more inspired I am by the remarkable women on my team, says Dominique Moceanu, who was 14 at the 1996 Games. When we come together, theres a level of respect for what we accomplished. It radically transformed the landscape of gymnastics in the United States.Of course, the loudest cheers of the night were for the tiniest woman on the 1984 team. I was so excited. It was very special walking out on stage to represent the 80s, Retton said. The 80s was the best decade.While gushing to the media about her former teammates, Retton also revealed they almost didnt compete wearing the stars-and-stripes leotard for which she is so inextricably tied.When we first saw the 1984 Olympic leotards, we didnt like them at all. We were appalled, she said. We said, We cant wear the flag! We hated them. And now we all laugh about it because it was the best thing that could have happened. Cheap Air Jordan 3 Australia .

Following yet another battle plagued with lag, OpTic Gaming fell to Luminosity 3-1 on Tuesday, June 28. Denied a replay by an admin, Damon Karma Barlow and Ian Crimsix Porter had enough, taking to social media to express their frustrations.I feel bad. So many teams have gotten free wins from us this season but they truly havent been our fault. Theres so much you- Damon B (@OpTic_DKarma) June 29, 2016Complaining on social media, however, is a violation of the Call of Duty World Leagues policy. So it came as no surprise on July 1 when both Karma and Crimsix announced they would be fined by the CWL and suspended for the next game. However, the CWL has yet to make a formal announcement in regards to the suspensions.At the time of the announcement, OpTic Gaming was set to face off against Dream Team, which has struggled and sits in eighth place. With no substitutes available, OpTic Gaming was unable to replace either suspended player, leaving Dream Team to claim a 3-0 forfeit victory.On July 2, a separate announcement made on Reddit by a representative of Activision, the creator of Call of Duty, the CWL has opted to reschedule Week 12 to enhance the competitive spirit of what will be the most important day of competition before Stage 2 playoffs.This means that matchups and schedules will be switched up just before playoffs this week.While the schedule change had reportedly been in the works for weeks, the timing of the announcement couldnt have been any worse. On the surface, the decision to alter the schedule makes sense. With a climactic battle for the final spot in the playoffs hanging in the air, and with matches that could drastically alter the finnal seeding, the move to put the best games on prime time is a brilliant way to ensure quality competition from both teams.dddddddddddd. After all, the CWL reserves the right to flex any game to the main event and has done so throughout the season.However, a schedule change like this can happen only if each teams situation stays the same from one game to the next, something that would not be the case for OpTic Gaming and its prospective opponents in Week 12. This is how a move to enhance the competitive spirit suddenly becomes a move that determines who makes the playoffs, something only the players should have the ability to control.On top of that, this decision has implications beyond playoff positioning. CWL Stage 1 and 2 awards each team championship points based on their seeding within the stage playoffs. Those points in turn decide which teams will directly qualify for the 2016 Call of Duty World League Championship in September. For a player like Dream Teams Adam Killa Sloss, the ramifications of the scheduling change have forced him to question whether he intends to continue his Call of Duty career.sorry about that guys tired of being treated unfairly and hopefully something gets done. if not i see my journey ending here- Adam Sloss (@dT_KiLLa93) July 2, 2016The idea to change the schedule in order to create a climactic simulcast battle determining the entire seeding of Stage 2 will likely make for a compelling end to the regular season. But the timing of both announcements is yet another stumble for Activision. ' ' '
