Recall that British start Gabby Jupp suffered an ACL injury in competition in 2013.
It’s happened again. 😦
Gabby’s coach Steven Price confirmed the bad news via Twitter.

Georgia 197.450 – Utah 197.275
Big upset.
Georgia so badly needed that 197 and so badly needed that win. Certainly their most complete performance of the season. …
Utah looked solid enough on both bars and beam. No real issues there, which is unusual for Utah that those would be the strong events, but they were today. Vault did not have the landings, but they really gave the meet away completely with that poor floor rotation. What were some of those landings? Just makes that little bit of doubt creep in.
Utah’s 197.275 is not enough to see them climb ahead of LSU in the rankings. Georgia’s score is strong enough, however, to see them jump ahead of Nebraska in the rankings for the week. …
@UGAGymnastics:
This just in: Chelsea Davis is now #4 all-time in Georgia history in career bars points with 562.900.
Becky Downie – Bars

How does she like her new routine?
She scored 15.166 at Worlds last year to finish 5th.
former World Vault Champ engaged
Alabama’s Kayla Williams lost to Oklahoma last night. But that’s not what she’ll remember from the night. 🙂
The meet didn’t end the way Alabama wanted it to, with its second consecutive home loss of the season. No. 1 Oklahoma came through and stayed true to its top-ranking, taking down No. 5 Alabama 197.725-197.5 on senior night. …
For one Alabama senior, however, the night became unexpectedly memorable when she added another ring to her collection, an engagement ring. …
When Williams saw her longtime boyfriend, former Alabama wide receiver and national champion and NFC champion Kevin Norwood, she thought he was just presenting flowers to event winners.
After the team took its usual picture with Norwood as it does with every presenter, Williams stuck around. On the podium, he talked to her for a few minutes before getting on one knee and proposing to her.
She said yes. …

Brittany Rogers – Bars
The Georgia star, 2012 Canadian Olympian, has stated she’d like to be considered for selection to the Canadian Senior Team 2015 and 2016.
Could she do it?
IF available for the necessary training camps and trials, Vault would be no problem. Brittany would be one of the top vaulters in Canada immediately.
What about Bars?

A lot of difficulty would need be added. But what I like about Brittany and Peng Peng’s chances of a return to Elite is consistency.
NCAA teaches consistency. Don’t be surprised if one or the other ends up competing at Worlds 2015. The Canadian Team needs experience, leadership and consistency.
VEGA’s Randy Fox
… In June, Fox was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Region 8 Hall of Fame. Region 8 includes eight states in the Southeastern United States.
“It was a total shock,” Fox said. “I actually thought they had somebody else named Randy Fox” to induct. …
Fox’s chance beginning put him on successful path that led to Vancouver Elite Gymnastics Academy
