I think what are about to see is an explosion of NCAA gymnasts with dual nationality

That's been on the cards a while!

Especially those that have ties to the Caribbean.
Selena Harris already stated she intends to compete for Guatemala toward the lead up to LA.

Makes sense. She can have her training for free for the next 3 years, right? I know she's a 2nd year and they can usually have 5 years in college max. In that situation, unless you really wanted to leave the sport or had specific, time limited plans for your post gym life, why wouldn't you?

She's a junior this year, so its her 3rd year of eligibility. She has her senior year for 2026 season and then she's used up her eligibility. But she could do her masters at UFL in 2026-2027 and be a student grad coach).

Also...LORD HELP US. It took me THREE times to type 2026 and 2027 respectively. I kept typing 2006 and 2007. Still can't believe 2005 was 20 years ago. When did that happen?
