LSU gymnastics head coach D-D Breaux is going to live and spend the night inside a tent in the LSU SportShop beginning Thursday, and she will remain there until Dec. 21 unless she reaches her goal of selling 200 gymnastics season tickets.
Tickets are only $25 for adults and $15 for youth ages 3-12, and LSU gymnastics season tickets can be a the perfect holiday gift for the family.
Justin Spring named Illinois Coach
… Spring is entering his fifth season overall on the coaching staff, after spending one year as an associate head coach and three years as an assistant coach under 33-year veteran Yoshi Hayasaki.

NCAA scholarship websites
Jason MacDonald for the past 2yrs has been helping Illinois and Region 5 kids with their NCAA applications.
As a sample, check out Megan Greenfield from Trinity GEMS, coached by Chris Riegel.
This website was designed for me to put all my recruiting information in one place for college coaches to assess. I will be updating this site regularly to give the most current video footage, competition results, and any other important recruiting information
If you want to know more, click through to Jason’s Lights On Recruiting site. Or call him at (630)715-3548.
He’s expanding his “recruit marketing” to gymnasts worldwide and to all NCAA sports. This kind of service is ideal for gymnasts from outside the USA, I feel.

Goal = two golds, two silvers, two bronzes
The Rewriting Russian Gymnastics English summary makes sense of the confusing Google translated Sovietski Sport interview with Valentina and Andrei Rodienenko (Russian).
In addition:
• they can’t rely on the judges to get the medals right

oddest hurdle in gymnastic
Anyone care to explain the biomechanical advantages of Paul Ruggeri’s weird round-off?

Love the Tamayo (layout double Arabian).
But more than anything else, this is a perfect example of why Men’s gymnastics is so un-artistic. It’s more advantageous to add a cheap C-part than to do any corner parts, … or even hold a V-sit.
