ILLUSION TURNS posted quite a few highlight routines from gymnasts from smaller, less well known, nations. One of the best parts of attending a World Championships is a chance to be surprised.

Becca Pang:

We are thrilled to announce that next week we are rebranding from Gymnastike to FloGymnastics and launching a redesigned website: FloGymnastics.com. …

FloGymnastics (the name) will take some time to get used to.

However Becca told me that the new web platform really will be a big upgrade. I’m definitely going to check it out. And I’ve started to link to a few of their original posts after boycotting Gymnastike in 2014.
