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.

Lindenwood defends WCNGC title

The Collegiate Final sponsored by USA Gymnastics.

1. Lindenwood University 195.875
2. University of Bridgeport 195.800
3. Seattle Pacific University 194.875
4. Brown University 194.500

… The Lady Lions set a school record as they won in front of a large home crowd at Hyland Arena.

The … event was tight throughout, as all four teams were within 0.325 of each other halfway through the competition. Lindenwood moved into first place on the third rotation, but led Bridgeport by just 0.05, and the Purple Knights were going into their strongest rotation, the floor, in the final set. …
