NCAA 2026 NCAA National Championships Semi-Final and Final Four on the Floor

[Laura722]

I left to get a shower with one rotation to go and figured UCLA would probably advance. I'm pleasantly surprised Minnesota advanced!

Very happy for Faith Torrez winning the AA.

What pleasing news to wake up to that UCLA didn’t make the final, sorry I mean that Minnesota did make the final. Of course

Either way, their fans are bound to be insufferable, so

Exciting win for Minnesota though.

Ya, UCLA, just not a fan. But they were always a shaky 4th best team behind OU, LSU and Florida. And at this stage, a shaky meet is doom. Not gonna lie, kinda glad to be done with the Chiles experience. Cheers to her gymnastics and how well she did this year, really impressive, just all the extra to-do around her I am tired of.

 

[cftmoonlight79]

100% on the Chiles thing. She's absolutely amazing, but they go way overboard with it all.

 

[RedBirdie]

I'm all in on Minnesota producing one more upset.

I agree, I find her very annoying although I have enjoyed watching her gymnastics in college. It’s beautifully effortless

Yeah, I agree, and I felt the same way about Biles. Amazing athletes, but they take up all the oxygen in the room through no fault of their own.

Don't sleep on Faith Torrez for the AA title.

I don't think anyone did.
Faith didn't do AA all year so it was a surprise to see her in the AA and Fatta, who did AA all year to be limited to beam. I wonder if Fatta is carrying an injury.

 

[Nickp]

Minnesota made the four on floor gymnastics over ucla didn’t see that coming in 2026

Yes. Fatta had an injury in practice earlier this week apparently

 

[cftmoonlight79]

KJ confirmed a hand injury for Fatta and a more major knee injury for Slade.

 

[irichluck21]

Bummer for Fatta she was having a great season. Glad she can still contribute.

Isn't she planning a return to elite, though? We probably haven't seen the last of her.

 

[RichardL]

Isn't she planning a return to elite, though? We probably haven't seen the last of her.

She would be silly not to return to elite with how she looks right now, especially given the state of the field. I also don't think she would be maintaining her DTY at that level without plans for elite.

 

[RedBirdie]

It was strongly hinted yesterday that Chiles intends to do elite this summer.

 

[irichluck21]

Given its a home Olympics the sheer number of gymnasts that will go for LA is going to be staggering.

I would assume all the 2024 Olympians and alternates (maybe not Suni) will attempt LA and also DiCello, Blakely, McCain

Yes, I even think Biles will return.

 

[irichluck21]

It was strongly hinted yesterday that Chiles intends to do elite this summer.

IMO if she continues to be in this great shape, she would definitely be in the hunt to become national All Around champion.
