Shockingly, Alex fell on Beam during Super 6.
Still, she’s one of the greatest College gymnast all-time. One of my favourites. What a career!
… one of 10 gymnasts in the 37-year history of NCAA Gymnastics to complete a career “gym slam,” a perfect 10 on each of the four events. …
McMurtry’s nine perfect scores eclipsed the school record of eight held by former UF All-American Bridget Sloan …
Coincidentally released close to the NBC Dateline exposé. … Squirrel!
Includes Yurchenko triple twist on to pit mats, double double off Beam, front full to full-in and Moors, double double off Bars.
Laurent wants to improve Bars. He ordered 10 pairs of grips!

Here’s the moment where Peng clinched the win for UCLA.

• it was an honour to see so many superb athletes at one place, one time
• J.O. / NCAA is the best Gymnastics league in the world
if Elite was cancelled tomorrow, hardly anyone in this system would notice
• Floor is much better LIVE than on YouTube
• RESPECT for those young women who compete far more than minimum difficulty
Skinner, Lee, Nichols, etc.
• Judging rules are stupid. Goal is marketing / publicity, not accurately ranking routines. Somehow they mostly got the ranking right.
Actually, @Yarotska and friends judged online. They had OU 197.4, UCLA 197.35. But conceded that it could have gone either way.
• Oklahoma was easily the best team. Yet UCLA found a way to win despite having a poor opening Vault rotation.
Chris Waller chewed out the Bruins in the locker room. They responded.
• I feel badly for LSU. They do pretty much everything right. Yet haven’t won it all yet.
• I feel great for Nebraska. And even better for Georgia. #respect

• Spencer (Balance Beam Situation) is the #1 College pundit in my opinion. Yet the dinosaurs of the NCAA denied him a media credential. ☹️
I long ago gave up trying for NCAA credentials. It’s far too much hassle.
• It seems to me fewer gymnasts were taped up this year. And were there fewer season ending injuries in the NCAA in 2018?
• Byes are idiotic. I’m looking forward to the new post-season structure starting 2019.
I’m not looking forward to 4 years in Fort Worth. That’s a disincentive for me to attend.
After the horror of the Nassar crimes, having meets like this to celebrate is one way for the sport to start healing.

When the sentencing trial of Larry Nassar began, few people knew the former USA Gymnastics doctor’s name, much less the details of his crimes.
Then, the young women he sexually assaulted—more than 150 of them—told their stories.
Their seven days of harrowing testimony shook the world of sports and beyond. Nassar was sentenced to up to 175 years in prison. The president of Michigan State University, Nassar’s former employer, resigned, as did the board of USA Gymnastics and the CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee.
As Olympian Aly Raisman said, “We are here, we have our voices, and we are not going anywhere.”
She did it. At Regionals.

Yikes. All her competitors are suddenly training for the silver AA.

The biggest story of the Games for me is seeing fan favourite Marios Georgiou put it together in the AA final.
Cyprus’ Marios Georgiou clinched the bronze medal, the first of the Cypriot team in the 21st Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia. …
According to the EAK correspondent, Mikaelo Papadakis, this is the fifth medal in gymnastics for Cyprus in the history of the Commonwealth Games.
The double Olympian has seemingly done it all.
Yet Brit’s never competed in Commonwealth Games. The only only multi-sport major games she’s missed. Until 2018 Australia.
