Florida without Bridget Sloan

Not too shabby.

The Gators opened Southeastern Conference action with a win, turning in a 197.20

Florida also got a collegiate-best of 9.875 from fellow freshman Kennedy Baker on the event. On bars, junior Bianca Dancose-Giambattisto upped her collegiate best to 9.95 to take the event title. McMurtry’s collegiate bars debut was second overall at 9.925 as Florida turned in a season-high 49.525 on the event. …

On Kennedy Baker’s performance:

“Kennedy did a great job, coming in on floor for the first time. Everyone can see the tremendous potential there with her power and showmanship. There are so many great positives about her.” – Florida Head Coach Rhonda Faehn

Florida was without junior All-American Bridget Sloan (sprained right ankle) and senior Jamie Shisler (left Achilles tendon tear) as they both suffered injuries at the Gators’ opener Sunday at Ball State…depending on her recovery, Sloan could return to the Gators late in the season. …

14,254 fans at Utah

This truly is the best home gym crowd anywhere in the world.

The Red Rocks finished with a 196.75 score to best Southern Utah (195.500), Boise State (194.525) and UC Davis (193.950) in front of 14,254 in the Huntsman.

Georgia Dabritz was robbed on that vault, certainly, scoring 9.875. In Florida it would have been 10.0.

Lais de Souza – lifetime pension

A Brazilian athlete paralyzed while training for the aerial ski competition at last year’s Winter Olympics will get a lifetime pension.

Brazil President Dilma Rousseff approved a special law that provides funds to Lais de Souza, a 26-year-old former gymnast who hit a tree during a training run in January 2014.

The accident happened days before she would have been named as a qualifier for the Sochi Olympics. De Souza, who represented Brazil in gymnastics at the Athens and Beijing summer games, is confined to a wheelchair, unable to move her arms or legs. …
