Andrew Vetter really likes the NEW Porcupine Bar Pad from Tumbl Trak.
It gives gives feedback to gymnasts, helping them learn where how close to the Bar they actually are. It was developed by Brett Wargo.
I’d need 2 or 3 so it could be used for Straddle Giants, as well.

Sadly, both Yamada Chiharu and Yamaguchi Sara left the competition with what looked like serious knee injuries.
🥇 Watanabe Hazuki 106.963 (53.598, 53.365)
🥈 Miyata Shoko 106.797 (53.198, 53.599)
🥉 Kishi Rina 106.764 (53.032, 53.732)
Kishi is a first-year senior. As a junior last year, she placed 12th at the NHK Trophy. #THE #DEPTH
Kishi had a solid Yurchenko double last year but it looks like she’s improved across the board on her other events. Japanese WAG is becoming like MAG where they are just churning out SO many athletes at ridiculously high levels, it’s almost impossible to guess who can make teams!
Rounding out the top eight here are…
4. Fukasawa Kokoro 106.664
5. Hatakeda Chiaki 105.498
6. Sakaguchi Ayaka 105.032
7. Okamura Mana 104.663
8. Nakamura Haruka 103.664
Ashikawa Urara is 14th but put up the top beam score of 14.166. Yamaguchi Sara didn’t compete floor today.

Yeesh.
This direction still has plenty of potential.
I suspect we’ll see WAG competing Air Flair on Floor within the next 5 years.

This is the most moving story of NCAA Championships 2023 for me.
… the ensuing routine—one that earned an impressive 9.850 score and contributed to Maryland’s NCAA Regional team score record of 196.675—would be one that she and hundreds of others who have now seen her story would remember for a very long time.
“It’s hard to describe just how much doing that routine at Regionals meant to me,” Brozowski said. “The best and worst moment of my life happened the same night.” ..
“I WANTED TO DO THAT ROUTINE FOR HIM.”
Of course her coaches supported any decision Tasha would have made.
