This week’s episode is commissioned by Club Gym Nerd Member Ryan, who asked for an episode all about GYMNASTICS FAILS—“the craziest, jaw-dropping-est, and most importantly hilarious instances when it simply wasn’t someone’s day—the most ridiculous falls, the wardrobe malfunctions, and infamous equipment fails. No one is off limits for gymnastics blooper reels. I want this episode to be lighthearted, nostalgic, and a reminder that gymnastics is a struggle for basically all of the human race at one point or another.” From the Gymnastics Fail Challenge , every event, Bart Deurloo and The Case of The Wandering Nut, Hilarious Saves, Wardrobe Malfunctions including Stacey Ervin and the Case of the Escaped Nut , Equipment Fails , and the Oops I Forgot category.
