Very happy to hear that!

I read that this is Schaefer-Betz' first meet since Paris. Nice to see her make the final.

I've got no coaching gossip, but I hope thing improve for you soon @RedBirdie. I'm very curious about what will happen at Utah. I would hope that their loss last weekend doesn't factor in too heavily; it was a very tough final and Dockendorf's record seems to be on par with Farden's aside from...

Mustafina 2010, and nearly in 2012 too.

There are plenty of normal-backed leos out there though! I'm sure the teams have the option available to them. And some teams (UCLA and LSU at least) have gymnasts design some of their leos, so I guess they don't mind the weird/open backs?

That's definitely one of Arkansas' better designs. I liked UCLA's a lot. The back was frustrating because they so easily could have engineered it to be bra friendly, but just missed it.

I have the same issue with Utah. They're my Oklahoma - such beautiful gymnastics but I want ANYBODY else to beat them. I don't hate Arkansas, but I can muster up exactly zero enthusiasm for them. I just don't care.

Holy sh*t, what an INCREDIBLE final. It wasn't quite the result I was hoping for, but I loved that all four teams were in it, and NO ONE was safe. I think it also had the best commentary team of the regionals. Kennedy Baker is such a good technical commentator, and Jason is refreshingly chill...

I thought it was one of her ankles given the way her feet folded beneath her, and on the edge of the mat, too.

I always assumed that Margzetta was a "real", albeit uncommon, name. It's kind of pretty. eMjae though, what a nightmare. I'd be at least changing the spelling if my parents saddled me with that one.

What a great and terrible final in Baton Rouge. Poor Konnor, I hope its not serious.

Stanford was so close. Not my favourite MSU leo, but the colour was nice and the cut was decent.

Stay off the gymternet and check YouTube in the morning!

Eh, it still made me go ew, why. I don't think they're capable of designing a leo I don't hate. Though at least this one had fabric on the sides, I guess I should be grateful?

The Baton Rouge semi 2 was THISCLOSE to featuring my dream of a Tigers quad meet. I'm glad that the Tigers squeaked through, but it was tough to see the Tigers close out their season with such a rough rotation. The Tigers looked great and really should make Four on the Floor. I didn't really pay...
