Lavi & Vivi Crain to World Champions Centre

As GAGE is no longer a USAG club, the Crain sisters needed to go to new coaches to continue with National Team.

I spoke with Mom, Chloe Crain, at Jr Worlds. She told me both of her daughters were very happy with the GAGE program.

I’d known the family from their early days at Avant Coeur Gymnastics in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Doha (QAT) World Cup cancelled

Via email from World Gymnastics:

In light of the current situation in the Middle East, the Executive Committee has decided, following an urgent online vote, to cancel the 2026 edition of the Artistic Gymnastics Apparatus World Cup in Doha (QAT), scheduled to take place on 15-18 April.

The event will not be postponed.

Personally, I blame one person ➙ Donald Trump for his inexplicable war on Iran.

I can’t see any upside for the American people.

Freestyle Trampoline at EU Championships 2026

Freestyle Trampoline is an independent trampoline organization promoted by Greg Roe.  

Many consider what they do as too dangerous — BUT European Gymnastics has reached out to include them at the recent 2026 European Championships hosted at Portimão Arena, Portugal.

I’m hopeful that Freestyle Trampoline will become increasingly organized.  And that coaching becomes increasingly expert.  For me it’s been too throw and go in the past.

We have reached the end of the NCAA regular season…and what a season it was!

I have been following women’s college gymnastics for over 35 years and, from my perspective, in terms of the team results, there were more upsets – based upon the rankings – this year than any other prior season. Parity is real.

… I think the NCAA team championship will likely be determined by which of the top teams sticks the most vaults.
