In Great Britain juniors (ages 12-15 in US) are divided into Juniors (14-15) and Espoir (12-13) so Catherine Lyons (age 13) and Bailey Key (age 14) would not compete against each other. Juniors essentially follow FIG code of points. Differences from Sr Elite for Espoir include but not limited to: elements E or higher all get .5 difficulty value except for dismounts where difficulty C or higher all all worth .5. Must do 2 vaults for event finals but can be from same family. Graduated deductions for not hitting 180 degrees for leaps instead of 0 credit if 180 degrees not hit. Rules for juniors and espoirs found here: http://www.british-gymnastics.org/technical-information/selection/mens-artistic/cat_view/334-regions-and-home-countries/393-london/410-technical-committee/418-womens-artistic-docs/435-judging-news

You should tweet the bar routine suggestions to Larisa. She loves getting info from fans on twitter!

The whole SCAM cup thing though… The only thing that sort of irks me is that a lot of times the US uses their best gymnasts for ‘their’ world cup (Wieber, Raisman), and then send a ‘lesser’ gymnast to the world cups overseas (Price in this case, I mean not that she isn’t good but you know what I mean). I’m kinda just like… use the same gymnast for the entire series?? I mean know there’s no rules for that but I personally kind get annoyed by the american cup because of that.
Thanks for the NCAA previews. I’m going to do Fantasy gym too and I have no idea who 99% of those girls are. Also the Heart of Courage floor music was edited by a gymternet fan! Her tumblr is candycoateddoom. So that was cool!
I can’t get over Jess’s laugh though it’s the best part of the entire show.

Is there a link to the gymnasts’ dancing entrances from Glasgow?

Let’s hope UCLA doesn’t bomb beam again….you naivite is astounding! I love that team to pieces but not for their calm confidence on beam. I usually need copious amounts of alcohol and deep yoga breathing to get through a UCLA beam rotation.

You said copious amounts of alcohol and deep yoga breathing and therefore you are my new best friend!
