interview with Maggie, Brenna and KJ

I really enjoyed this episode of The Routine Podcast where the mother / daughter team traveled to Oklahoma to cover the competition with UCLA.

Oklahoma had over 10,000 fans!

That’s double their record crowd.

I was interested to hear their favourite Floor routine was not Katelyn. Not Brenna. But Anastasia Webb who’s been leading off for Oklahoma. The girl can dance. And sells it.

As only 2 / nation can receive awards, Sloane did not get the Bronze medal. It should have been Fien Enghels … but — for some reason — Azuki Kokufugata got the medal.
