Every gymnast dedicates the meet to the CAUSE of their choice.
It’s a statement.
One again, dumb people are planning a multi-sport games with no restrictions on performance enhancing substances.
Gymnastics included.
Here’s what happened last time this idea came up. 😀

The National Girls and Women in Sports Day (NGWSD) is an annual day of observance held during the first week of February to acknowledge the accomplishments of female athletes, recognize the influence of sports participation for women and girls, and honor the progress and advocation for equality for women in sports.
Each year since its inception in 1987, the United States Congress recognizes women’s contributions to sports and society on a day during the first week of February. ,…
Rhiannon Franck is a former national-rated NAWGJ women’s gymnastics judge with over 15 years of USAG judging experience and nine seasons judging NCAA gymnastics.
As many noted, scores at the 2024 Tennessee Collegiate Classic seemed impossibly high.
As the meet was not was not broadcasted or recorded, Rhiannon went online to find as many routines as possible.
Lindenwood was the only team that recorded and posted all of their routines, and there were no routines available from Kent State. The other team’s routines were cobbled together from social media posts by fans or the teams. Despite this, I’ve re-evaluated every routine I could find to try and make some sense out of this competition for us all. …

Worst case scenario, this very high scoring could later affect who qualifies for regionals.
MAYBE it’s time to make NCAA judging fair. … Fairer. 😀
In your face, haters. 😀
Male FIG gymnasts must show control on landing. I’d say right now there is TOO MUCH emphasis on STICK in MAG FIG.
Obviously, FIG women have never been required to show control. Absolutely no control often results in a very small deduction for WAG.
I’m of mixed feelings on this question:
On the one hand, it would force coaches to include dismounts that are more fully mastered. A good thing. AND it would help separate the best of the best routines.
On the other hand, I fear more injuries on landing might result. Stepping or hopping out of a high impact landing is an excellent way to dissipate forces. Gymnasts trying to “SAVE” a competition landing could suffer more injuries.

Good idea.
Individual athletes can dedicate the next meet to an issue important to them personally.
Seven teams competed. Seven teams scored all-time program records!
For that to happen in a single meet is beyond a statistical improbability. …

NCAA scoring is dumb at the best of times.
Hopefully the over-scores will not affect Regional qualification, down the line.
Who were the judges there?
What possible inquiries can be made into that competition?
