All are created equal.

And — therefore — all wear the same leo. 😀

“To be honest, I was terrible at beam as a gymnast,” admitted Dockendorf. “It was my worst event. …

… last season their beam NQS was the highest in the NCAA on any apparatus—a feat they’re in the process of repeating with their 49.670 leading the nation currently. …
