One study:

Female gymnasts more commonly suffered major injuries compared with men, and more commonly underwent surgery after injury (24.4% of female injuries required surgery vs 9.2% in males).

The anatomic region most often injured in men was the hand and wrist (24%). The anatomic region most often injured in women was the foot and ankle (39%). Overall, injury rates were highest in freshman-eligible athletes.

Men’s NCAA Conference Championships recap

Men’s NCAA Nationals, as is often the case, conflicts with Women’s NCAA Nationals.

That’s a shame. I’m flying to St. Louis not Chicago.

As usual, too, Logan Bradley posted the best summary of all the action last weekend. This has been the most exciting season in Men’s Gymnastics I can recall.
