dance video – Jungle – Keep Me Satisfied

My favourite music video of 2024 was JungleLet’s Go Back.

They’re back. New video is somewhat similar.

If ONLY our gymnasts could move half as fluidly as lead dancer Will West.

Men’s NCAA Coaches interviewed on 2025

Wow. The College coaches have widely diverging opinions on the changes put into place for 2025.

Inside Gymnastics – Christy Sandmaier:

The 2025 men’s NCAA season will see not only a new Code of Points in play but also changes to the format of men’s college meets. The head-to-head dual meet format, first introduced in 2021, is now optional, rather than required, but the more major shifts are going from 5-up, 5-count on each event, to 4-up, 4-count, with a new maximum of 12 competing athletes per team, down from 15 in past seasons. …

Inside asked all 15 NCAA men’s gymnastics head coaches for their opinion on these significant shifts in competitive format, and how they feel the new rules will help, or hurt, the sport, and received a wide range of thoughtful, interesting answers…

NCAA Coaches Address Changes in College Men’s Gymnastics

Yuan Xiao, University of Michigan, wonders if MAG NCAA might yet be forced to 3-up, 3-count in the future.

Ignacio Yockers – Pommels

With routines dropping from 10 to 8 skills, I’m guessing many of the top guys will drop the Magyar – Sivado sequence as it takes too many circles. And risks a skew deduction.

Looks like going shirtless is allowed.

Kameron Nelson — from Avant Coeur Gymnastics, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

First Artistic gymnast to compete 2 Triple Backs on Floor. And only 8 skills count in 2025 so his difficulty score is HUGE.

Wolfgang Hambüchen interview

Like everyone, I was a huge fan of Olympic Champion Fabian Hambüchen.

Three Olympics. Three medals on H Bar.

Father / Coach Wolfgang tells that his son was VERY inflexible in the hips when he started. But loved our sport.

Anna Li and Jiani Wu suspended by SafeSport

Legacy Elite is a gymnastics club in Aurora. Head Coach Anna Li and her mother, Jiani Wu, have been suspended by the U.S. Center for SafeSport after a nearly six-year investigation.

SafeSport’s disciplinary database lists the misconduct as “physical and emotional.” …

ABC 7 Chicago

Attorneys for the suspended co-owner and coach told the I-Team the allegations are, “categorically false,” and said they do plan to appeal. The attorneys also said their clients were, “under this type of cloud for years without an opportunity to fully resolve the matter. This is yet another case that clearly illustrates the Center is wholly incapable of reasonable investigations .”
