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.

Vanessa Ferrari – new Floor routine

Jess loves it.

Surprisingly retro in terms of music and balletic dance.

I’d say Vanessa is the favourite to earn the ONE Olympic specialist spot available for Floor. Especially if she keeps getting credit for those advanced leaps.

Or will Jade Carey get it?

Coming back from injury, I expect we’ll see the double double back soon.

P.S. I’m still irked Vanessa was ripped off in the 2010 Worlds Floor Final. She clearly should have won that gold.
