LSU 197.350 – 197.225 Alabama
Alabama was seeking its 50th straight home win, but the Tigers halted the streak behind solid routines throughout the meet. Before tonight the last time Alabama lost at home was Feb. 13, 2009 when LSU won …
Oklahoma 457.300 – another new record
Wow.
When the Sooners broke the record Feb 14th against Michigan, some felt it was just one of those nights when everything went right. That College judges got a little excited in the moment.
But to do it AGAIN Feb 27th. …
It’s nearly impossible for so many guys to hit so many routines so well, two meets in series.

gymnastics bar grips – finger wedgies
What are they?
This photo was posted by bogwoppit on the Chalk Bucket forum.
bogwoppit explains:
They make the finger holes of your grips smaller. I managed to get some from the UK, where they call them wedgies!
Order from GymnasticExpress.co.uk in Europe.

Without them, kids simply stuff foam into the finger holes to fill the gap. Messy and inconsistent.
Leave a comment if you know of anyone else selling something like this.

Tumbl Trak Quick Flex Bar

For introducing Tkachev it’s far safer than a hard rail.

The Tumbl Trak can be flat or sloped.
We are currently using it for Hop 1/1 on Bar, as well. The last step following this stage.

That’s Kennedy Sterenberg from Manjak’s. (Who’s interested in competing NCAA, by the way.)
Tony Retrosi is using the Quick Flex Bar for Shaposhnikova drills.

If you have a Tumbl Trak in your gym, consider getting this add-on. It will be used non-stop by gymnasts of all level.
