Georgia gymnast Grace Taylor

The biggest clash in College gymnastics this weekend is Georgia vs Florida. The Gators are hungry.

Reigning NCAA beam champion Grace Taylor from Georgia is ranked #2 on beam this season.

At any College meet she’s one of the most eye-catching, appealing competitors.

A fan favourite.

There’s a terrific article on Grace that gives background into her upbringing in a fervently Christian family. Fascinating.

So when the Gators come to town Saturday, is there any chance Taylor will take it easy on them, show a little Christian compassion?

Not a chance.

“Florida beat us at SECs my freshman year. And I don’t appreciate them as a school because of that,” she said. “I don’t like to think of myself as someone that holds grudges, but I don’t particularly like the feeling of getting beat by Florida. And within my power I definitely don’t want to lose to them.”
