In the past I’ve been disappointed. Slow streaming Flash feeds. (Why don’t Collegiate teams use YouTube? USAG, FIG and GBR all use YouTube.)

But the Morgantown Regional had multiple panes of different size open in their LIVE stream. At times with all 4 apparatus. Other times with results showing.

It was excellent.

@GymCastic:

We have standardized rules for everything but NOT live coverage of the 1st round of NCAAs?! So far only @WVUGymnastics is doing it right.

That feed would not work on wifi. But as soon as I plugged into ethernet, every pane was sharp and clear. It was free. And I was watching in Canada so not geo-blocked.

The host team was happy too.

“This whole day was incredible,” said fourth-year coach Jason Butts. “We ended the season as well as we could end a season. I’m thrilled with today’s overall effort and the way the 2015 year as a whole went. I’m glad this program is back on track.” …

I’d watch more LIVE streaming if everyone did it as well as West Virgina University Sports. 🙂

I said “I’ll be very surprised if any female gymnast competes Kas + 1 1/2 or Tsuk 2 1/2 in 2015.”

It’s a Kas rather than a Tsuk due to direction of the twist. Left arm contacts horse first (right twisting round-off), then salto twist to the left.

Paula is age-20. From Puerto Rico training at Universal Gymnastics with coach Maria Gonzalez. She hopes to qualify to Pan-Am Games in Toronto this summer.

This is not just another press release of Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation; unfortunately, this is an obituary.

We have lost Aleksandr Pravdin … Head Coach of Azerbaijani National Team in Women’s Artistic Gymnastics passed away unexpectedly at the age of 45. Aleksandr Pravdin passed away of a heart attack on April 4 at 13:00.

Gymnastics has lost a wonderful expert, while we have lost a wonderful person. …

12 teams advance. There were no major upsets. The top 2 ranked teams in each of the 6 Regional competitions got through.

Elizabeth Grimsley had 6 screens playing during Regionals. Here’s one of her reports – Women’s Nationals Qualifiers Determined.

NCAA 2015 Championships are in Forth Worth, Texas, Friday, April 17-19th.

I’m most disappointed for Illinois @IlliniWGym after such a great season. 196.675 wasn’t enough to get through.

Fighting Illini head women’s gymnastics coach Kim Landrus has been named the National Association of Collegiate Gymnastics Coaches/Women (SC) South Central Region Head Coach of the Year.

Landrus is in her fourth year as head coach for Illinois and 13th overall coaching the Illini. … At the 2015 Morgantown Regional, the Illini posted their second best team total (196.675) in an NCAA Regional. …
