2014 Men’s Gymnastics National Championship: Individual Finals – Full VIDEO Replay. Free. 🙂

Scott Bregman, Director Of Content And Communications at USAG, was there. He felt it was one of the best Championships ever. On podium. Very impressive.

I swear Bridget took a big form break on overshoot every turn except for that routine. Coaches should study her huge, late tap for dismount.

Razorback Gymnast Katherine Grable Makes History; Takes Titles

Though done with College gym, I’ve heard Katherine is considering a try at elite. She’s certainly ripped enough. 🙂

Louis Smith @louissmith1989:

Finished my competition @ the Korea world cup I’m happy to say I finished in 1st place with 15.850 just in front of my Olympic nemesis Berki

That strengthens Louis’ chances to qualify to Commonwealth Games.

Keatings, meanwhile, won Pommels & P Bars at a competition in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

NCAA Vault Final 2014.

LIVE I preferred Haley Scaman. Insanely great early opening.

Click PLAY or watch Haley on YouTube. 9.9667 (3rd)

You could wake Haley up in the middle of the night. She’d stick this vault first time, no warm-up.

I blame the ONE Judge who threw a 9.0 on that vault, going low, dropping Haley to 3rd. Same score as that judge gave many inferior vaults in the final. 😦

Best vault?

Haley or Katherine?
