Gymnastics competitions on YouTube
Wow. Hundreds of Gymnastics competitions and events on YouTube are linked to one searchable Google document.
Check it out.
This document is a list of elite gymnastics meets found on YouTube (as well as some extras like NCAA post season and some professional league meets).
It is part of a project aimed at helping fans navigate the wonderful blessing of many thousands of hours of video but also helping gymnasts find their own performances they might think have been lost.

Jade hasn’t finished her College career yet, of course.
I’m happy with them choosing any of the others on this list.
For me, personally, I’d say Kupets was the most dominant winner of all. The Michael Jordan of women’s NCAA.

R.I.P Boris Bajin
When I was young, Boris Bajin was the Canadian WAG National Coach. Our leader for 5 consecutive Olympic Games and many World Championships.
We spent weeks preparing for his visits to the Gym where he would evaluate skills and physical ability. I still vividly recall his “Elite Testing” events.
They were highest priority on our annual calendar.
I was sad to hear that Boris passed away at the age of 90 at his home in Toronto.
