Men NCAA Men's Championships

[blake]

On ESPN2, starting at 7 ET. I didn't see a thread, so I started one. It should be a fun follow-up to the women's championship earlier today.

I love that the Cal men's program is still around given how many other programs have closed. Nice DLO dismount from their guy on floor.

Smooth double pike on floor for Ohio St. He hugged the line judge haha!

It's good to hear Bart after him being absent from regionals. He and Brody are a good duo.

Oklahoma giving up a lot of tenths on landings on floor.

Stanford is starting to build up a huge lead. Stuck Shewfelt for Michigan! That's their second out of bounds though.

2nd up for Michigan on pbars, opens up super early on double pike and hands down.

Cooper Kim is really nice to watch on floor. Fantastic double pike.

Scary fall for the individual from Greenville. Completely missed his hand on a diam and landed throat first on the bar. Looked like he broke his arm coming down.

Sad for Charlie Larson with a fall on floor. Fred wins his 3rd NCAA AA title.

Stanford wins! Oklahoma vaulted really well in the last rotation but it wasn't enough.

I am looking forward to watching the replay.

Also I looked at semi-final results and Cal got a 1.0 Neutral deduction to their team total.

I couldn't figure what it was for.

I believe they went out of lineup order on PB.

Ouch!

How hard is it to go in order???

Wow, Fredrick Richard has now won 3 — that's incredible. In almost 100 years, that's been done only 4 other times (Sam Mikulak, John Roethlisberger, Steve Hug, Joe Giallombardo).

As a Cal fan, I would like to know.
At least that didn't make a difference between Cal making or not making prelims.

I was there and it was a super fun meet!

Once in your life, go to the men's NCAA Championships.

It's a little late, but I wrote a blog post trying to predict the winner. It does have some information on how the teams fared during the season on different events.

In which I use a method used in the development of the H bomb ( Monte Carlo Simulations ) to figure out what everyone already knows - the race is between Oklahoma, Stanford, Michigan, and, possibly, spoiler Nebraska. The top 3 are fairly close in potential, so luck will likely have a large role in

Oklahoma came in ranked number one, but I've seen Stanford pop up at the end many times.

Once I analyze the results further, I can get a better picture of what went down and where.

LOL what. Not at the stat, the reply

There was some controversy because in 2025, Paul Juda landed his vault with one foot OOB, and when he closed his heels, the other foot went OOB. He got 0.1 ND, but Stanford thought it should have been 0.3. Michigan won. The Stanford coach tried to protest, but coaches can only protest scores from their own team.

In 2026, Nathan York of Nebraska did the same thing but received 0.3. His coach protested, but it was rejected.

Here is my analysis (with a lot of help)
