This week, Blythe filed her report on dominating Russians and weeping men at Moscow’s European Championships. Uncle Tim and Jessica returned from Los Angeles to report on the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships with special guest Lauren Hopkins, U.S. editor for The Couch Gymnast.

This year, NCAA’s featured something that has never been done before. After event finals, all of the teams participated in Flash Mob choreographed by Travis Wall (see photo below). Check out the highlight gifs here or watch it at the 1:51:21 mark here. Oh, college gymnastics, this is why we love you!

I downloaded this week’s episode from itunes today and though it claims to be episode 30, when it plays it’s episode 29? This might just be my computer but if it’s something at your end it’d be great if it could be fixed!
Also I can see you’re going to talk about Lucas Fischer’s p-bars, a.k.a my favourite moment of Europeans! Have you seen his music videos on youtube? If not, trust me they’re worth a look …
Loved loved loved your analysis of ncaas! However I dont think that Chelsea Davis upgraded her dismount for finals though. If you compare these two videos – the first routine of the season and event finals. The composition is exactly the same

Chelsea was one of the most consistent peroformers on bars this season. She competed that routine 17 times. Of those, she scored 9.9 or higher thirteen times! WOW! I’m hoping for her to be bars champ one these next two years she has left!
It’s just been released that Gabby Jupp has torn her ACL. 🙁 🙁
