Bruin Banter – Peng-Peng Lee

Watch it on UCLA Bruins. Christine has one more year left in Collegiate gymnastics. Decided not to try for Rio because of her thumb and patellar surgery.

There were many dangerous landings. Vault rules should be changed to provide less incentive for “chucking” difficulty. Guys like Eddie should get more credit than they do now.

American guys looked better in finals than in the team competition. 🙂

Certainly this final was far, far too long. 😦

Ron Galimore, the chief operating officer of USA Gymnastics, was elected president of the Pacific Alliance National Gymnastics Federation. Let’s tweak the format. It’s a fun meet. But could be better.
