This was a thriller.

With the score, Stanford will head to NCAA Championships for the ninth time in the past 10 years. The Cardinal put together a bars rotation that scored a 49.500, a feat hard to achieve with a four-judge scoring panel. …

Michigan put on an incredible last apparatus run – a team record 49.675 on Bars – to fall just short.
But Eastern Michigan University was even more impressive in their first Regional Championships ever. There was every chance they could have qualified to Championships. 🙂 Congratulations to coach Jay Santos.
Oklahoma and Nebraska advance
Nebraska has now qualified for nationals 18 times during coach Dan Kendig’s 23 seasons at NU.

LSU and Georgia advance
Coach D-D Breaux’s team easily claimed the title when it surpassed the 197 mark for the sixth consecutive meet and the seventh time in the past eight competitions.
Georgia earned the other spot at nationals with a 196.850 and will join LSU in Semifinal I at 1 p.m. April 15 in the Fort Worth (Texas) Convention Center. …
When Rheagan Courville finished her College career, I thought LSU’s best chance to win a team championship was over. I was wrong. 🙂

Jing Wu – the same Vault twice
Jing Wu finished in 2nd place in Cottbus.
Her first was supposed to be a Kasamatsu. (Left hand contacting first, left twist.)
But NO JUDGE should call this a Tsukahara approach. It’s a Handspring with staggered hand position.

This is the same cheat the Chinese men were doing in the past. 😦
Kuksenkov tests positive for Meldonium
Amanda Turner:
New national champion Nikolai Kuksenkov has withdrawn from the Russian men’s championships in Penza after it was revealed he tested positive for the banned substance meldonium. …
According to Russian coach and spokeswoman Valentina Rodionenko, Kuksenkov’s test was conducted two weeks ago but the results were only just discovered. …
I can say that on the Russian national team in gymnastics we stopped using the drug even in August 2015! Then the representatives of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency consulted with our doctors, and then withdrew all the supplies of Mildronate from our first-aid kits. …
