NCAA Gymnastics Championships

  • We discuss Suni's interview about whether (and how long) she's going to stay at Auburn
  • Oklahoma is the national champion! How they did it despite a bad start, how they fought for every detail on the final three events, and how Spencer singlehandedly inspired them to victory
  • How Florida successfully avoided a Florida postseason implosion but lost the title on vault, and the equipment problem in the semifinal that made everyone have to swaddle Trinity
  • Jessica explains the very rare Triple Jinx that kept Utah in third place, and why Auburn was the second happiest group of people in Texas
  • Rage about the lack of individual title acknowledgement and the AUDACITY to STAND UP and MOVE AROUND during certain routines
  • Trinity Thomas won the all-around and two event titles, and Megan Skaggs surprised for 3rd AA as a perennial leadoff gymnast
  • Michigan. Sigh.
  • Stellar performances from Missouri and Minnesota to finish 5th and 6th.

Man Things

  • Kensley is here to recap men's gymnastics nationals including the inevitability of Stanford's victory, Oklahoma's lineup strategy, and Paul Juda's all-around victory over Brody Malone
  • When everyone qualifies to nationals, it's a problem
  • Plus, when are men's and women's nationals going to the same site?
