Though Elite Canada has no streaming video and minimal publicity, Canada Games is online. And free.

Unedited, of course. So there’s plenty of time staring at an empty Floor. No commentary.

Kids back home on The Rock are cheering Team Newfoundland.

These are one of those silly Games where Newfoundland (population 527,00) competes one-on-one with Ontario. (population 13 million). Yet if you propose to merge the 4 teams from Atlantic Canada provinces, don’t expect any love for that idea from the east coast. 🙂

Thanks Stu.

gymnastics love story

The Liukin:

Gymnast Tommy Ramos and Olympic medalist Catalina Ponor use technology to stay in touch during the months when they’re away doing their jobs.

He did all sorts of silly things to get her attention. His behavior failed to get her attention and much less humor her.

And thus began the love story between gymnasts Tommy Ramos and Catalina Ponor. …

Tommy Ramos and Catalina Ponor overcome distance through love

Will Oklahoma be the first school to win both MAG and WAG Collegiate Gymnastics titles in the same season?

Both teams look great.

Though Florida last night had the highest score this season 198.225, I still think they’ll need a healthy Bridget Sloan back to challenge OK in the same arena with the same judges.

Oklahoma Men set NCAA Team record

“Sooner Magic” was in the air in McCasland Field House on Saturday evening as the top-ranked University of Oklahoma turned in a performance for the ages in its home opener versus defending national champion Michigan. The Sooners shattered the NCAA team record with a score of 456.400, besting the previous mark of 447.850 by Penn State in 2013. …

… the squad set OU program team records on floor exercise (76.650), pommel horse (76.150), still rings (76.500) and high bar (77.050) and recorded the second-best team score in history on the vault (75.050) and the parallel bars (75.000).

With the unthinkable scores across the board, Oklahoma becomes the first program to ever record a 75 or higher in all six events and became the first to crack the overall mark of 450. …

Conquering Fear (1996) by Scott Moore

Scott Moore, who was one of the first African-Americans to compete in gymnastics at University of Michigan in the 1980s, wrote a book about conquering fear.

… the boys program director and girls option vault coach at GTC Gymnastics in Rochester Hills, Mich. …

“When I won my two Big Ten titles I was the only African American in the Big Ten competing [in] gymnastics at that time,” said Moore.

When Moore represented Team USA at the 1987 World Cup in sports acrobatics, he was the only African-American tumbler competing. …
