A rough meet, actually.

Too many falls.

Scores are high in some cases, compared with international judging.

I predict there will be a higher HIT rate — for those invited — at Olympic trials.

This must be the cleanest triple double ever competed in Artistic Gymnastics. The boys will be watching this one for many years to come.

All hail the G.O.A.T.

Juda & Soares – Olympics quota

  1. Caio Souza BRA 84.450
  2. Paul Juda USA 83.000
  3. Diogo Soares BRA 82.700

Congratulations.

As Caio Souza competed at Worlds 2019, Paul and Diego each earn a quota spot for their nations in Tokyo.

I should say, there are Canadian men wishing they could be there. But Canada decided not to attend due to COVID.

The American men are departing after day 1, as a precaution. Less risk of infection.

Mikulak + Diab are the only two, so far, who have qualified for National Team and Olympic Trials.

Oliveira – Arabian pike 1/2 out

It’s always problematic to call a full twisting double back a NEW skill, if the timing of the twist changes.

That said, I expect this will go into the Code named for Lorrane Oliveira.

great interview with Yul

Due to Covid, Yul Moldauer had to leave Oklahoma.

He decided to head back to his home club.

In this podcast he outlines his daily schedule. 100% focus on Gymnastics.

For example, on arrival at morning training there’s a hot mug of tea and healthy breakfast waiting.

Trevor Howard: From Penn State Gymnastics to the World Team to Disney – GymnasticsVille Podcast

Trevor Howard almost quit gymnastics after missing teams by one place, year after year. His mom told him something that changed everything. What followed was a career most gymnasts only dream about. On this episode of Back to Basics, Trevor sits down with Mubarak Simmons to share his full journey, from growing up in Columbus, Ohio to becoming a 7x All-American and NCAA National Champion at Penn State, to earning a spot on the 2019 World Championships team in Stuttgart alongside Sam Mikulak, Yul Moldauer, and Shane Wiskus. He opens up about the "iron sharpens iron" mindset that got him there, what it was like representing Team USA on the world stage, and how COVID derailed his Olympic path. Today, Trevor performs as a Tumble Monkey in Disney's Festival of the Lion King at Animal Kingdom and runs ETHIICKS, his holistic wellness company built on everything gymnastics taught him. This conversation covers mindset, adversity, purpose, and what it really takes to reach the highest level.
