You can click that last link. But Gymnastike still makes it nearly impossible to find out what Gold membership costs. They need be far more transparent, putting the price clearly up front.

Marvin Kimble put together two incredible days of powerhouse gymnastics, as he successfully defended his 2012 JO Nationals all-around championship. Day 1 was an incredible masterpiece, blowing up the scoreboard with a mind-boggling 94.05. …

Day 2 was not quite as explosive, given the technical sequences format, but he performed the routines expertly to win the all-around by almost 7 points. …

Kimble won an incredible 5 event titles. The only one that slipped away was VT, where he placed 3rd. The 15-16 age division has a staggering amount of talent. …

Akash Modi posted the day’s 2nd highest Day 2 scores (both age divisions) and climbed back to win the all-around title in the 17-18 age group. Modi also perfected the art of consistency by placing in the top 5 on six events, and winning an event title on PB.

Pune is one of the most affluent cities in India.

It’s a shame nobody has taken a leadership role there to protect the apparatus, build the sport.

Most gymnastics news out of India is bad news.

Is this the highest ever competed?

Since, a number of girls have done it including Rhian Pugh (VIDEO), Hailey Kardos (VIDEO) and Silvia Colussi.

I don’t believe Corey was first.

Someone competed that in the mid-80s, I believe.

Probably earlier.
