What a season!
The No. 27 George Washington gymnastics team posted its highest-ever postseason team score with a 195.55 to place fifth at the NCAA Athens Regional on Saturday …
GW’s team score is the best-ever mark in 12 appearances at NCAA Regionals and nearly a full point higher than the previous best, which was 194.675 at the 2001 Southeast Regional. …
Head Coach Margie Foster-Cunningham was honored as the NCAA Southeast Region Coach of the Year for the second consecutive season. …
Many coaches are feeling rotten a couple of weeks out of the Gym.
We’re worried our gymnasts are starting to forget about us. 😕
1. We work strange hours.
3. Yes we go to work in sweat pants.
10. We aren’t going to be rich
That’s my opinion.
Therefore Artistry should not be part of ranking gymnasts in any Code of Points.
Science of Gymnastics Journal 2014:
Due to its nature and relatively poor definitions in the Code of points, judging of artistry may suffer from serious flaws in reliability and validity.
We have used the balance beam artistry evaluation forms given by 5 execution judges at World Championship in Tokyo 2011 to analyze reliability and validity. Data on 194 competitors was gathered.
Deductions were received by a highly variable number of competitors from separate judges in the same components of artistry. The variability of average total artistry deduction was relatively large …
We conclude that neither reliability nor validity of artistry judging was satisfactory in this analysis. …
THE JUDGING OF ARTISTRY COMPONENTS IN FEMALE GYMNASTICS: A CAUSE FOR CONCERN?
We can evaluate Execution and Difficulty in reliable ways. And come up with a score that would be consistent meet to meet, panel to panel.
Artistry could be rewarded by a separate (subjective) panel. Something like the Longines Elegance Award, but with a much better panel of evaluators.
Give this guy an award. 😊

Stick It Media – Record-Breaking Weekend of College Men’s Gymnastics
Sadly the Men’s competition will be held the same weekend as the women’s Championships. Better for fans would be different weekends, as it was in 2015.
Recall 2010? Cal Berkeley announced that both Gymnastics teams would be CUT. For budget reasons.
Both team survived. And both teams have thrived. 🙂
Both will be competing with full teams at Nationals 2016.
