Sunisa has been awesome for a long time. Spencer feels she’s now getting confident and consistent, as well.

Dipa Barbie

You can give money to Mattel for a Dipa Barbie.

Mattel sucks a little bit less after adding new dolls inspired by real, successful women to its “Role Model” collection.

But this product has done a lot of damage over 60 years projecting unrealistic body image to young girls. Send your daughter to Gymnastics instead of buying them plastic crap.

interview with Maggie, Brenna and KJ

I really enjoyed this episode of The Routine Podcast where the mother / daughter team traveled to Oklahoma to cover the competition with UCLA.

Oklahoma had over 10,000 fans!

That’s double their record crowd.

I was interested to hear their favourite Floor routine was not Katelyn. Not Brenna. But Anastasia Webb who’s been leading off for Oklahoma. The girl can dance. And sells it.
