This week we talk to the 2012 Olympian Jenni Pinches from Great Britain. She talks to us about butt glue, working on-air with Olga Korbut for the BBC, life at the Lilleshall national training center, being coached by Amanda Reddin alongside living legend Beth Tweddle, and living a purposeful NerdFighter life.
Twitter- @jempin515, Tumblr- jempin515, Blog- www.jenniferpinches.com. Her favorite show, Vlog Brothers who remind us, “Don’t Forget To Be Awesome!” (see below for instructions on how to throw up the NerdFighter symbol).

Sacramento State’s retro-beam-dominatrix Dallas Smith. She does a front handspring to Portocererro (front flip to a tooshie), followed by a Garrison (one-handed sideways Valdez).
Kaitlynn Urano from Iowa State pleased us with her musicality and fun floor work.

The UC Berkeley Women’s Gymnastics program is raffling off a seven-day, six-night cruise through the Mediterranean aboard a Norwegian cruise ship. Prices start at $20 for one ticket, $50 for three tickets and $100 for seven tickets, and the deadline to enter is April 27. http://www.calbears.com/sports/w-gym/spec-rel/020813aaa.html
The Sacramento State video looks like it’s of beam but when you click on it it changes to floor … confused.
Should be fixed. Here’s the direct link http://youtu.be/hkTH1b_Qsdk
Still showing floor actually … but seeing as the BB video’s blocked from my country it looks like I’m not going to be seeing it either way!
Wow, what country are you in?
Also while I’m listening – Deng Linlin didn’t miss out on AA by the 2-per-country, she came 6th in the Final! Right after Sandra Izbasa, and just ahead of Huang Quishang. As a huge DLL fan, I store these facts 🙂 Yao Jinnan missed out after poor scores on everything except bars.
You are correct! Thank you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_%E2%80%93_Women's_artistic_individual_all-around
Any chance you are planning on interviewing Alicia? Always a fantastic interview but most people would love a little more details of what her post trial thoughts were.
Just found the podcast and Love It. I’m getting caught up on all the archived episodes and found a little mistake on this page. Kaitlynn Urano is from the University of Iowa, not Iowa State, which matters a lot of you’re from Iowa (which I am not). I can’t believe my fellow Minnesotan Spanny didn’t catch it! 😉
And now I found a little mistake in my post. *If, not of. Sorry, I’m booing myself.
