Wave to the fans, Kat.
Don’t skip the Balance Beam Situation‘s NCAA analysis posted February 13, 2012.

Rebecca in, Nastia out
As we’d suspected, Rebecca Bross is on the list of athletes (PDF) for the WOGA Classic this weekend. Nastia is not.
After the ‘shebockle‘ (where did I see that used recently?) last time Rebecca competed, I’m guessing she’s going to look GREAT this weekend.

Iordache at London Olympics
I’ve seen a few people, including Brigid, considering Larissa Iordache a possible Olympic AA medalist.
Since she’s Romanian, I assume Bars would nix that possibility.
Am I wrong?

She’s young and still improving.
I wish her well.
Miss Val – recruit who got away?
UCLA Head Coach Valorie Kondos Field was asked what recruit ‘got away’ over her long, successful career.
She replied …
Since the retirement of Suzanne Yoculan at Georgia, Miss Val has been the most interesting and entertaining NCAA coach interview.
