Peng is fearless

Of the many great Beam routines we saw yesterday, Peng’s was my favourite.

Happily she ended up National Champion. It only took 6 years.

Sabrina Vega – Beam

This was the most talked about routine from session 1 at Nationals.

Sabrina was the clutch hero at Regionals to unexpectedly get Georgia to Nationals. Could she do it again to keep them in the running for Super 6.

YES.

Georgia just wouldn’t quit. Jordyn Pederson had an ankle injury on Floor. So Gymdogs only put up 5 gymnasts on Bars. They hit. #NeverQuit

Finishing 4th in session 1 was an excellent ranking for Georgia after the challenging season they’ve endured. A contender again soon.
