- Event finals: Pauline tells us which athlete’s progression makes her proud, and we discuss the wide open vault field, the loaded bars field, the Pauline Schäfer of it all, and who broke the floor this week.

As a first generation German American, I am so very excited to see Ms. Tratz in the mix! I have loved her since the Rio test event and shouted in joy for every solid routine she competed for UCLA. My husband walked closely by part of the UCLA team at a meet we attended at Oregon State and he was most impressed by Pauline and Kyla as he is a fan of taller women, haha. I hope Pulla’s time reporting for Gymcastic is as enjoyable for her as it will be for me!
Finland is a Nordic country but it’s not part of Scandinavia, which only consists of Norway, Sweden & Denmark.
Love Paulines inside not only into gymnastics as a former elite and NCAA gymnast but also as a european. As a german myself I’m so happy to see her here. She should cover more european gymnastics for you like kensley does with men. if she want’s to. love from deutschland.
