The Orange County Register reported in 2023 that the investigation started no later than summer 2020. So five years, at a minimum.

In addition to the Crains, Kaylee Sath and Aulya Daniels are on the national team. No idea what the Milton sisters planned for this year, as they graduate in the spring and have been dealing with injuries.

Never thought I'd see the day.

Not the sort of thing we typically see on CGN. https://collegegymnews.com/2025/12/22/parker-college-gymnastics-looks-perfect-until-youre-inside-it/

I hate to see the MAG technical committee following the path of the WAG TC. Bad for gymnastics.

I'd be perfectly happy if they just used the level 10 code as it currently is, with the current NCAA yurchenko full 9.95 SV.

Its like BJ Das took Matthews' already weird routines and said "MAKE IT EVEN WEIRDER!" Meh. I'm was hoping Das could take Matthews to the next level with choreography, and instead we just ended up with a recycled try-hard routine.

I think all three things can be true. Avoine's coaches are abusive. The French fed is a shit show. The French fed wanted Avoine's coaches to move to INSEP and are pissed they didn't.

Glad I'm not the only one who was like "this isn't correct" right off the bat.
