In High School Physical Education, obviously, I was the teacher’s assistant for the Gymnastics Module. The football players got paid back.
Best was watching them try to cross support on low rings. Hilarious.

BEST of the Great West Gym Fest
Talking to kids at the big meet in Idaho this weekend, they like best two things:
1) March-in like a big College Meet.
2) Meeting inspiring Olympians
The AWARDS are brilliant too. The best anywhere.

Florida over Georgia Gymnastics
My friend Courtney told me her team had a great meet but was edged out by Florida.
… the Gators registered their first home dual meet win over No. 7 Georgia … since 1990. Florida posted a season-high 197.25 to claim the slender win over the five-time defending NCAA champion Gym Dogs. Georgia’s total of 197.15 was just behind its season-best of 197.20 …
Both teams plan to win National Championships hosted this year at Florida.

CONGRATS Steph.

hotel gymnastics meets
by site editor Rick McCharles
The Great West Gym Fest is hosted in the gorgeous Coeur d’Alene Resort.
It’s wonderfully convenient to host everything in a hotel. But there are challenges.
The biggest problem with set-up for us was fitting in the bleachers.
Next … do we need to remove ceiling tiles for Bar dismounts?
In the end, we have a classy and cosy venue.
The meet is well underway. I picked up Courtney Kupets at the airport today. How was your morning?
