"new" gym podcast with Bridget Sloan and Kathy Johnson Clarke

The algorithm just suggested this podcast to me. KJC isn't always a special guest/co-host but it seems like she will always be on during season two in which they focus on the Olympics.

I thought this would be of interest to some here.

We should have a thread dedicated to the best gymnastics podcasts

At first I was worried that complaining about the silly things Jessica O’bern (spelling?) said on gymcastic would overwhelm the conversation but I realized you qualified your suggestion saying we would discuss the best gym podcasts.

Kathy and Bridget talked about team construction from the perspective of wanting to get the top three routine for three up, three count AND wanting to make sure that you have back up. Bridget reminded us to at two athletes on her team got injured at the games. They sound like my people. (Although with a five person team you could have one specialist.)

OT, but I'm curious - does anyone know what the identical trophies behind Bridget are from? I'm trying to think of something she might have accomplished nine times. Can't be national team trophies, can it?

Those are her 9 NCAA champion’s trophies: 3 times team, 2 times AA, 2 times UB, and 2 times BB.

Oh shit, I didn't realize she'd had so much individual success in NCAA!
