1st WGA Cash Cup
World Gymnastics Association (WGA) is a NEW organization seeking to promote Gymnastics by offering online CA$H competitions.
A cool idea. You can compete Pommels against 2021 World Champion Stephen Nedoroscik, for example.

I’m all for anything that promotes the sport and offers financial remuneration.
The 1st competition was MAG and is posted on YouTube. You’ll see the competitors are of mixed ability level.
