I watched the 1st NCAA College Gymnastics meet of 2026 on ESPN+.
TV coverage was quite good.
FINAL:
Utah 196.625
Minnesota 195.475
Iowa 194.825

I feel like the lesson of this meet about having competitions on January 2nd was…don’t?
A lot of shaky routines, but on the plus side, the scoring wasn’t all that stupid.
I’m thinking all three teams will want to drop that score. BUT with the new rule in 2026, there are fewer team scores to drop.
Zoe Johnson’s Vault was one highlight for me. 9.925 — would have been higher later in the season.
