Congratulations!

Beth Tweddle said she was “speechless” to be crowned Dancing on Ice champion. The gymnast added: “All credit goes to Matt, he’s done an amazing skate tonight.

Great competition. You’ll be seeing many of these names in the mix for Olympics 2016.

… up-and-coming Russian stars Anastasia Dmitrieva and Maria Bondareva tied for the junior title Saturday. …

Russia won the junior women’s competition, easily defeating Canada, Japan and France with strong performances on bars, beam and floor. Canada was the top team on vault and floor, though only sixth out of seven teams on bars. Romania, as expected, had the highest team score on beam.

… Japan’s Yuki Uchiyama finished third and had the top score of the evening on bars (13.633), ahead of Romania’s Andreea Munteanu (highest beam score with 14.033) and Louise Vanhille of France.

Canada’s Heaven Latimer, sixth, was the highest home-country finisher in the junior division, but she had the top score on floor with 14.0. …

What a great season we’re having. These were the season high scores for both teams.

Memorable night for LSU gymnastics in Tide loss:

… record 8,574 fans, the largest crowd in LSU gymnastics history.

… “It felt amazing to get such a high (team) score,” Courville said. “The loss is disappointing, but our performance was definitely not something to be upset about.”

A record $108,000 was raised for Foundation 56, former LSU linebacker Bradie James’ foundation to raise money for breast cancer research.

Mincie and coach D-D Breaux were interviewed last week on GymCastic.

As much as I love her passion, the crowd appeal, the sassiness, and originality, I still don’t see that as the best Floor routine in the NCAA.

“It was just an extraordinary night of college gymnastics,” UA head coach Sarah Patterson said. “It was loud, it was rocking and both teams put up great performances.”

… “The pressure was on Ashley (Priess) just like it was at the national championships last year and she came through, like she always does in these situations,” Patterson said.
