remembering Brown coach Jackie Court
For more than four decades, Jackie Court shaped legions of young women through gymnastics: as a coach at Brown University who led the team through a landmark legal fight for equity in collegiate sports, as the creator of the competitive gymnastics program at the YWCA, and as a seasoned judge assessing performances throughout the state. …
Court, of South Kingstown, died Easter Sunday, April 12, at age 81. In 1969, she became the first woman of color to coach at Brown. …

Jamie Dantzscher interview
One of GymCastic’s best yet.
Jamie Dantzscher was a 2000 Olympic medalist, at the end of the darkest era of USA Gymnastics in my opinion.
She went on to a fantastic career at UCLA. One of the greats of all time. She led UCLA to 3 NCAA Championships in four years.
But we know Jamie best as one of the most vocal critics of the Karoli years. And her February 2017 60 Minutes interview alongside Jeanette Antolin and Jessica Howard accusing the USAG criminal doctor.
What makes this interview so winning is Jamie’s blunt honesty. Down to earth. Saying what she thinks.
I was totally won over. Let’s all wish Jamie Dantzscher well.
You can listen online or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
IT’S JAMIE DANTZSCHER YOU GUYS
NCAA sports after COVID-19
American institutions of higher learning are all deciding on when and how to reopen. Some may not be open in September.
What does that mean for College sport?
They’re scrambling to make up for lost money. The University of Cincinnati ended its men’s soccer program, and St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas, announced last week it was cutting men’s and women’s golf and tennis, along with men’s soccer. …
Students are weary of online classes, but colleges can’t say whether they’ll open in fall 2020
Right now we don’t know. 😕
Greg Marsden linked to a letter from the Intercollegiate Coach Association Coalition (ICAC) opposing a request by the Group of Five Commissioners to allow conferences and schools to cut the number of sports sponsored to be considered for Division I status.
Mike Burns and Heather Perry signed on behalf of NCAA Gymnastics.
interview with Denver’s Maddie Karr
You’ll be even more impressed by Denver superstar Maddie Karr, from Minnesota, after listening to this podcast.
After minor knee surgery in the Fall, Maddie was doing her best Gymnastics ever just as her Senior year was cut short by COVID-19. She competed in the all-around every meet during her College career.
She was ranked No. 4 in the nation in the all-around for 2020 and was ranked in the top 20 on all four events – including in the top five on both vault and bars.
Maddie was named Big 12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the second time she won the title.
Maddie is still in school next season. She has season tickets.

Kyla Ross wins the Honda
Chris Waller:
“I have never met an individual with more integrity than Kyla Ross,” …
“Whether she is training, competing, being a friend, being a student, or learning a TikTok, she does it whole-heartedly as if nothing else matters in the world.
This appreciation for the present and enthusiasm for life brings light, inspiration and energy to everything she does and moves the world around her. …”
Nebraska’s new 46,000 sq ft Gym
Finally. Nebraska has a Gymnastics training facility worthy of that great University.
But the Men’s team never got to use it before being locked out by COVID-19.
