There were 2 trampoline gymnasts for GB there was Kat Driscoll aswell
On Ward\’s vault, she didn\’t click her heals together. That could be the reason for a lack of a 10. Last time I was in a judge\’s meeting, they harped on that before giving the 10!
Thanks for the voice shout out. There is 10 Canadian World/Olympic team members currently competing in NCAA, but there is waaaaay more then 10. Oregon has 5, MSU has 4, Georgia has 3. Lauren, you killed saying Ana’s last name! Always a tough one!
Agree with your comments about the Washington Huskies. I\’ve been so impressed with their progress this year. Their routines aren\’t the most difficult, but they are consistently showing beautiful form and artistry. And sticking landings! Not something they have been known for in the past….Elise Ray is doing an amazing job with her team, but doing it quietly and (intentionally?) outside the limelight. There seems to be a strong subjective component to judging that rewards the gymnasts and teams who have superior promotion and an identifiable \”brand\”. Let\’s see if Washington can break through that barrier and start to receive the scores they deserve.
T-shirt idea: \”Be More like Elise Ray\”
Brianna Comport also has contemporary Vera hairstyle! Love it.
PS, I’m thinking Musty was a shotgun wedding – that was an awfully fast, unexpected wedding and timeline. Scandal!
