Do you have a video somewhere of Danusia’s routine or of the girl with the double arabian half-outs?
Yup! They are in our video playlist (right under the header “Related Videos”). Let us know if you still have troubles locating them.
Thanks for inquiring!
Thank you! I’m a little oblivious :0
Loooooove love loove the new equipment! Well done! Yay sponsors!!
Also I hope you share some of those hilarious survey reponses!
The quiz was great, I learned a lot!
The Mustafina thing is still a rumor, but it’s been very big on the Russian gymternet and Ksenia Semenova confirmed.. Mustafina herself hasn’t said anything.
“hottie skater with the butt” should be a t-shirt.
Awesome! Thank you for letting us know.
Jessica is going to compile some of those answers for next episode.
Putting the t-shirt idea on the list 😉
Those leotards are just horrific. I would be so distracted watching them perform in those!
Yes for the new equipment! It sounds so incredible! As always, another great episode and now even better quality.
Sarah Finnegan is by far one of my favorite gymnasts! I really hope she makes a serious comeback and blows us all away. I just think of the Triple Turn in Tuckstand she did at the 2012 Visa’s and die! So elegant and artistic! Anyways, all that to say I am so hoping to see more of her in the next year or so! Love the podcast guys, keep up the good work!:)
On an unrelated note, Devora, did you know that this show has Orthodox listeners? 🙂
I’m probably the only one but I’m soo bored by the AmCup line up, at least for the woman… I’d love to see someone other than Kayla or Simone (whom I both like) compete.
I am wondering when that second interview episode might be posted.
The interview with John Orozco will go up this Friday! Thanks for asking!
