Blythe and Jessica talk to Emma Bailey direct from the hallway of her hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria at the Women’s European Championships about:
- The great Soviet Pink Panther routine by Elena Shevchenko (USSR) vs. the new Pink Panther performed by Marta Pihan-Kulesza (POL).
- The red carpet, the banquet dances, and other cool stuff the organizers did.
- Could Sandra Izbasa return for Rio?
- Diana Bulimar, the unsung hero and backbone of the Romanian team.
- A Danish gymnastics club gets to train on all of the equipment from World Championships.
- Teams on the rise and lesser known fan favorites; Noemi Makra (HUN), Claire Martin (FRA), Emma Larson (SWE), Gaelle Mys (BEL), Lisa Top (NED)
- Emma gives her impression of the once-great Ukrainian program.
- Are there too many World Cups schedule, without sufficient time to rest before the European Championships?
- And finally, high bar Olympic medalist Krasimir Dunev , one of the organizers of Euros, proves he is freakin’ cool as hell.
Emma’s YouTube Channel has some videos of fan favorites not captured on the broadcasts.
