Two things can be true. A gymnast can experienced a negative experience and be treated differently. A gymnast can also have positive experiences. Case in point, Amy Smith. Various gymnasts spoke out against her, but yet a whole group of them followed her from Utah State to Clemson, clearly...

Unfortunately this might not be an option, because the pay for NCAA judging is not the greatest which is why the really good ones opt for Level 10 meets. As someone who looked into judging (because I live within doable driving distance to 4 teams (Springfield, SCSU, Bridgeport, Yale) ultimately...

I am excited for this to happen. Can't wait to find out how to watch.

A bunch with first place votes. Crazy that Missouri got 2 first place votes. They are still good, but not sure if they have the same fire power as last year's 3rd place finish. Celestine and Moore will be hard to replace for their multiple events and losing Titarsolej and Hu is going to hurt as...

Florida has if anything the depth.

It's also only a two tumbling pass routine, with a whip to double tuck and a 1 1/2 front layout. We see more difficult tumbling in Division 3 routines.

Sorry, I don't like Nola's floor at all. Too much.

Not surprised to see Strug in that role, IIRC she was an elementary school teacher for some years.

She should go to Hungary, with their current talent and Colas, they could easily qualify a full team to LA.

I agree but I think those elites (former?) in Sumanasekera, Sullivan, Matthews, and Eichman have the experience that with watered back difficulty will excel in NCAA. I can even see Tiana having a usable bar routine without the elite COP.

UCLA's freshman class is ridiculously talented and will fill in many holes. Sullivan in the AA. Sumanasekera on VT/BB/FX, Matthews on UB/BB/FX, Eichman on UB. I think they will be just fine, but definitely not top 2 like last year. I think they will make Nationals and have an outside chance at...

Auburn is going to be a sleeper in the SEC. It will be interesting to see who qualifies to regionals in those last few spots based on the new formula for NQS.

Oh I forgot Brazil qualified 3 individuals and Belgium had the two! So it would have been 12 teams...pretty impressive.

So with two scores counting per round, then we would have had 10 teams eligible in Paris. With 5 women up for grabs for the top 7 and South Korea then 3 for Spain and Germany, with those teams having 5 men available. Canada China Great Britain Italy Japan Netherlands USA South Korea Spain Germany

Unnecessary and overly complicated. How many teams will be able to fill a mixed team? Host country will be fine because its the US. In the future if this sticks, do host countries get 3 WAG and 3 MAG if they don't field a full team? Why bother to have a qualifying? I would rather the...
