I feel like people (OK, me at least) are going to be watching Mizzou closely in the transfer portal, after the mom of an unnamed gymnast wrote something online about how heartbreaking it was for her daughter not to get to go to nationals because of the team size and the fact that she was being...

That was such a great competition! I love that the Michigan men were so emotional after winning the title - you could tell how much this meant to them.

Thank you both! She wasn't on CGN's injury list when I looked and I hadn't heard about an injury, but I figured it had to be something like that.

I didn't know where to ask this, so this seemed like as good a place as any. Does anyone know where Alexis Jeffrey has been? She hasn't competed since mid-February, but I haven't heard anything about an injury (or any mention of her at all) here or on gymnastics Reddit or even the LSU sports...

Yes! Thank you, I couldn't remember the exact teams at that meet.

The overscoring of ANY team bugs me, but honestly, if it were universal, it would probably bother me less. There's no question that Oklahoma was being judged through a different lens than Mizzou, Auburn, and Arizona on Sunday though. The Olympian/home team/famous team bonus definitely happens...

Oh, okay! They're both gorgeous leos regardless.

I also got the stained-glass impression from UCLA's leo and wondered if it's the same as their stained-glass pride leo, just in blue instead of multicolored.

I'm creating a team for it now! I'm OBXBZE.

I might want to join, depending on the day/time of the draft! I've only done the general leagues on Gymlytics before.

I've never watched the show until this season and I agree, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either. After the first dance last night, it was like the judges could only praise people and give 9s and 10s - poor Ilona going first and missing all of that. I can't make sense of "this wasn't great...

I've never watched the show before and (embarrassingly) have had to Google some of the names to find out if they're the stars or the regulars, but Stephen has been so much fun to watch. I wouldn't have recognized him with the hair last night! If you're on Twitter, his bio changes almost daily...

I specifically don't follow some accounts because of the way the "thinspiration" movement encouraged my eating disorder in college and body image decades after, and more than once I've recoiled at a Nastia post - not realizing right offhand that it was her and thinking I'd accidentally stumbled...

They sold tickets to a televised one at the end of the tour and I did watch that - I knew from that point that it was mostly girl-power-mental-health-also-some-gymnastics. For me I guess it's mostly being able to see some of these gymnasts live, even if they aren't going to be performing like...

One of the few times I wish I lived near some kind of big city! My closest stop is still way too far away for me to attempt on a school night but there are so many gymnasts I'd love to see.
