Bri Guy tears both Achilles
Auburn gymnast Bri Guy tore both her Achilles tendons in a blink of an eye last Friday, had surgery Wednesday …
She’s facing six to nine months of rehabilitation. …
Auburn turned in its second-highest score in school history with last Friday’s 197.100 against Alabama. Now, Auburn will press on without one of its top performers this Friday against Georgia …
Blowing out both Achilles is unusual, to say the least. But Graba said they usually go in gymnasts on takeoffs, which is what happened to Guy.

Stanford 197.000, Utah 196.300
No. 12 Stanford hit all 24 routines and six Cardinal gymnasts recorded collegiate bests Monday, as the Cardinal pulled the upset over No. 4 Utah, 197.000-196.300.
In front of a crowd of over 3,000 fans in Maples Pavilion and broadcast on the Pac-12 Network, the Cardinal (12-1, 4-1 Pac-12) delivered an incredibly consistent performance to hand the Utes (7-1, 4-1) its first loss on the season. …
Kristina Vaculik continued to shine in the all-around, picking up the individual victory with a 39.475. Vaculik punctuated the Cardinal’s win with a collegiate-best 9.950 on floor in the anchor position to close the competition.
“She’s still getting better and improving which is phenomenal,” said Smyth. “The confidence the team has right now has a lot to do with her leadership.” …
Never underestimate Stanford.
Balance Beam Situation:
… Stanford impressed me. There were areas of mistakes (a few facets in multiple rotations that looked very January), and they generally look farther behind the teams that are scoring well on a weekly basis, but there was nothing disappointing about this showing. The foundation for big scores is in place …

physical prep for Curling
Despite ongoing stereotypes, the slovenly curler is the exception now, not the rule. Many of today’s top curlers are as fit as figure skaters — Russian skip Anna Sidorova, in fact, is a former figure skater. …

Uchimura Symphony
Olympic gold medalist and four-time World champion Kohei Uchimura (JPN) is one of the most “rhythmical” gymnasts music professor Lasse Nettum has ever seen. In order to demonstrate what happens when a piece of music corresponds well with a gymnast’s natural movement, Nettum composed this original piece to accompany Uchimura’s horizontal bar routine from the 2011 World Championships. The video was presented as part of an artistry and music workshop at the Artistic World Championships in Antwerp (BEL) last fall.
