But these are not the kind of scores that are going to worry China and Japan.

Akash Modi 84.250
CJ Maestas 84.050

It sounded a very rough meet.

Uncle Tim calls ‘em how he sees ‘em.

“With this issue (17th) we cross the threshold of 100 published articles which is quite a significant number for a highly specialized journal,” editor Ivan Cuk writes …

Cuk, who sits on the Faculty of Sport at the University of Ljubljana (SLO), has been the editor-in-chief of the journal since its first publication in 2009 …

The February 2015 edition of the journal includes six articles on varying topics, including “Low Back Pain and the Possible Role of Pilates in Artistic Gymnastics” and an analysis of “Landing Characteristics In Men’s Floor Exercise at the 2004 European Championship” as well as historical notes on Larissa Latynina (USSR), Vera Caslavska (CZE) and Viktor Cukarin (USSR). …

Yes we all know that NCAA MAG scores are a little on the generous side. Nobody pretends these routines would be scored the same at Worlds.

On the other hand, this was one extremely good athletic performance. One these guys will never forget.

The No. 1 ranked OU men’s gymnastics team posted a team score on Saturday evening inside McCasland Field House that many who closely cover the sport deemed unreachable.

By the Numbers: A Record Performance

0.1 dismount stick bonus.

Justin will be be competing for University of Minnesota next year.

13yr-old Felix was in the lead up until the dismount of his Horizontal Bar routine. Unfortunately he under rotated his double twisting double layout.

Too bad.

That would have made history. Félix is very good. Very young.
