Nile Wilson on mistakes at American Cup

Nile and his coach Baz Collie were very happy with training leading up to American Cup. Yet he had a number of falls and major errors.

He was not discouraged. It’s still early in the Olympic year. On the other hand, making the British Olympic Team is not a given. They have unbelievable depth.

Aly Raisman Talks Code of Points & Injuries

I hope FIG WTC listens to their Olympic Champion. She’s right.

Rules should be set with respect to the health and safety of competitors.

The FIG Medical Commission should have more input to WTC. 😦

Brittany Rogers 10.0 Vault

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

I recall her doing pretty much exactly the same Vault at NCAA Championships one year … and getting 9.85. 😦 The WRONGEST score I saw at the meet.

I felt Brittany’s DTY was as good as any at Worlds 2015.
