Guys use that … thing because they are (supposedly) deducted for standing 2sec or longer before a tumbling pass. There should be no such rule. It’s safer to let the gymnast catch his breath before a tumbling pass. And the routine time limit restriction already serves the purpose in not allowing anyone to waste time during a set.

Bridget Sloan wins the Honda

She is this year’s Honda Sports Award recipient for gymnastics, distinguishing her as the nation’s top collegiate female athlete in the sport. The honor was based on the results of national balloting among all NCAA member schools as part of The Collegiate Women Sports Awards program, now celebrating its 40th year. The other finalists were Lindsay Mable (Minnesota), Nina McGee (Denver) and Elizabeth Price (Stanford).

This is the second such honor for Sloan, as she won the award as a freshman in 2013. A Gator gymnast has claimed the honor four of the last five years, as Kytra Hunter was the 2012 and 2015 recipient. …
