Is there anyone left who STILL thinks that athletic women can’t be beautiful?

How dumb could they be? 😀

2025–2028 Olympic Solidarity $650 million

I’ve volunteered many times to lead Olympic Solidarity coaching courses. Those are the BEST, in my opinion, offered through the International Gymnastics Federation.

And education courses are only one of many Solidarity initiatives .

  • The IOC redistributes 90 per cent of its revenue to sport worldwide, which means that in the 2021-2024 period, every day the equivalent of USD 4.7 million went to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world. This is up from USD 3.25 million in 2014.
  • The budget for the 2025–2028 Olympic Solidarity plan has been increased by 10 per cent to USD 650 million.

DETAILS ➙ Solidarity has been greatly reinforced by the Olympic Agenda

NCAA Conference Championships highlights

The rest of the world is mostly baffled why seeming random teams are competing in “Conferences” — and why anyone cares, aside from bragging rights.

2025 competitions were excellent, however.

Here are a few highlights:

Meet of the Week ➙ ACC Championship ➙ Stanford upsets Cal

Gymnast of the Week ➙ Haleigh Bryant, LSU

Hidden Gem of the Week ➙ Utah State is back!

Also, there were many perfect 10s. And some of those were actually perfect. Under the weird NCAA judging. 😀

Conference championship weekend delivered upsets, drama, and plenty of perfect 10s. Two Power Four titles changed hands, and standout performances stole the show. The Dismount breaks it all down.Read more: buff.ly/wfXwVyb #NCAAgym

BAD judging Nebraska v Michigan !

Kensley on the Neutral Deductions podcast, details the absurdly bad judging errors made at the Nebraska vs Michigan competition last weekend.

In one case, a Floor routine was awarded 0.9 too high on the D score.

I was a FIG judge for decades — and can’t imagine how ANY judge could be that far off on Floor.

Kenseley feels Michigan probably would have won the competition, anyway, with competent judging.

Obituary – Coach Ed Vincent

Read and comment here.

A service will be held for Coach Ed Vincent on Friday April 25, in Calgary, Alberta.

He inspired me and everyone else at Altadore Gym Club over 50 years with the club. 2024 Olympic Floor champion Kyle Shewfelt is just one of those athletes inspired by Ed’s enthusiasm for the sport.

The annual Altadore Invitational competition is named for Ed Vincent in his memory.
