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.

greatest NCAA gymnast all time?

College Gym News put together this list of candidates:

Trinity Thomas – Florida
Maggie Nichols – Oklahoma
Kyla Ross – UCLA
Kristen Kenoyer – Utah
Jade Carey – Oregon State
Alex McMurtry – Florida
Ashley Kelly – Arizona State
Bridget Sloan – Florida
Courtney Kupets – Georgia

Data Deep Dive: Determining the All-Time Greats

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.

Oksana Omelianchik – Hall of Fame

Oksana welcomed into the International Gymnast magazine Hall of Fame 2023. Congratulations.

Many consider her bird routine the most memorable in Gymnastics history.
