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).

Kaitlynn Urano from Iowa State pleased us with her musicality and fun floor work.

February 13, 2013 at 8:05 pmThe Sacramento State video looks like it’s of beam but when you click on it it changes to floor … confused.

February 14, 2013 at 12:19 amShould be fixed. Here’s the direct link http://youtu.be/hkTH1b_Qsdk

February 17, 2013 at 7:47 pmStill 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!
GymCasticCrew says
February 20, 2013 at 7:43 amWow, what country are you in?
Christian says
February 13, 2013 at 9:30 pmAlso 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.

February 15, 2013 at 6:16 amAny 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.

April 27, 2014 at 5:37 pmJust 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! 😉
