Heath interviews Morgan

Past world Champion Morgan Hurd is (relatively) healthy. Looking forward to competing for Florida this season. Excited about her new floor routine.

Needless to say, Heath is an excellent interviewer and we can predict his will soon be one of the best and most popular Gymnastics podcasts.

Russia opts out of FIG competitions 2024

I’m thinking this is the best possible result for the rest of the world.

FIG made an attempt to return Russian athletes to international competition as IOC decided — and they decided not to participate.

The Olympics will be a much more positive event without Russia.

Valentina Rodionenko:

“We do not agree with any of the admission criteria that FIG has developed …

Until the international federation makes changes to its document, we will not send athletes to the starts.

This is the decision of the national team’s coaching staff.”

good Double Tuck off Beam

It’s great to see a double back in a tight tuck position — as G.S. George recommends — with the hands in the optimal position. On the shins.
