KJ couldn’t believe Oklahoma’s Super 6

Watch the post-meet interview on FloGymnastics.

“They were just rolling,” Kindler said. “We had just amazing performance after amazing performance. It felt crazy. I almost felt I wasn’t here. …”

The most important routine was Chayse Capps on Bars. Their first HIT of the Super 6.

 

Peng’s 10.0 Beam Final

Tiny foot movement on landing. But nobody is complaining. This is one of the best and most difficult Beam routines in College Gymnastics.

There’s still talk of Peng applying for a 6th year at UCLA due to injury. No talk yet of her trying out for the Canadian team to Worlds 2017 Montreal (though she’d certainly have a good chance on Beam and Bars).

If you missed the competition last night, FloGymnastics has a good wrap-up.
