World H Bar Champ Philippe Rizzo was there 1995-2010.
He reflects on the AIS in this interview.

R.I.P. Pam Collett
Terrible news.
Canadian coach, judge and coach educator Pam Collett died this week. Unexpectedly in her sleep.
Everyone is shocked. Pam was always so full of life.
Gym Nerd School
GymCastic launched yet another new initiative.
Episode #450 is the first of a series called Gym Nerd School 101.
Based on fan questions, Spencer and Jessica do some Gym’splainin‘
- What does it mean to be an “elite”?
- Code of Points, leotard rules, and named skills.
- Why don’t they use the 10 anymore?
- Why are leaps named for animals, how do I tell them apart, and no really WHYYYYYY?
- How do I tell the difference between a split leap full and a switch leap full?
- How do I tell the difference between those one-arm pirouettes—the Ono, Healy, and Ling?
They discuss a number of videos which you can watch LIVE ON TAPE.
