With some of the top names out of the Gators line-up, #1 OU defeated #2 Florida in one of the most anticipated competitions of the season.
In fact, after an excellent 1st rotation, neither team had a terrific meet.

FIG continues ban on RUS & BLR
Good decision.
Official today via email:
Unfortunately, the conflict in Ukraine, which started just over a year ago, is still going on.
Considering the exceptional circumstances related to this conflict, the FIG Executive Committee has decided, based on the new Article 13.3 of the FIG Statutes in force since 1 January 2023, to confirm the measures taken on 26 February 2022 and on 4 March 2022, in particular the measure according to which Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials, including judges, are not allowed to take part in FIG competitions or FIG-sanctioned competitions until further notice.
The present measures enter into force with immediate effect and replace and supersede all measures previously taken by the FIG Executive Committee.
The FIG will continuously monitor the overall situation and may reassess those measures depending on the evolution of the circumstances.

Ohio State head coach Rustam Sharipov:

Yes, my parents are still there, my brother is still there, my nephew. I’m glad they are fine so far, but it’s hard every day …
The IOC recently said they’d consider letting athletes from Belarus and Russia compete under a neutral flag in 2024. As a Ukrainian Olympian, what are your feelings about that?
When this war first began, I sort of agreed about keeping politics and sports separate, but then I saw Russian athletes start actively supporting the war, supplying stuff for the war, and creating young military kids who are going to ‘protect’ their country…That’s when I completely changed.
This idea that letting Russia and Belarus compete will help bring the war to an end? That’s, excuse me, B.S. …
The other thing that really bothers me is that the Russians, their life didn’t change. They have everything they need to prepare for competitions, while Ukraine athletes…Some are dying, and most don’t have a place to practice, no coach, no gym. But the IOC says they should compete on the same field? That’s not fair. …
