A personal thanks to Dana Brass, interim Head Coach of Go For It Gymnastics in Vegas, for organizing our clinic / camp last week. It was great.

Shout out to Kyle Shewfelt, inspirational headliner at camp. He made a lot of kids very happy.

THANKS IGC and Bruno Klaus.

… Horton, who trains at Cypress Academy, won a total of $17, 500 for his results in the all-around, still rings, floor exercise, and vault.

“I have to say thank you so much to IGC and Bruno Klaus,” said Horton. “This is one of the greatest things anyone has ever done for men’s gymnastics. To donate that kind of money and give it to the athletes who aren’t in school and live on their own like me (I’m married), Danell and Chris. We support ourselves right now so to have somebody donate that and support men’s gymnastics is one of the kindest things.”

Danell Leyva of Miami/Universal Gymnastics, and Chris Brooks of Houston/University of Oklahoma, were the next top earners, collecting $9,500 and $7,500, respectively. …

Andy Timm posted this photo of the new “pit fluffing” paddles used at Woodward West Gymnastics Camp.

Woodward West is the only gym I’ve ever seen fluff pits this way. (They don’t want injuries due to the foam cubes getting compacted.)
