We discuss some encouraging developments and identify areas of potential controversy in the injury petition rules Someone can (theoretically) petition directly onto the Olympic team. Should that be allowed? And would that ever be used for anyone other than Simone? How might a two-event gymnast be taken into account for Olympic selection? How the open-ended women's procedures compare to the numerically specific men's, and how two selection procedures for the exact same thing can be so different Cairo World Cup The first apparatus qualifier is in the books! We discuss the Heron, a huge result for Emma Malabuyo on floor, the state of New Zealand's Olympic spots, Nina Derwael's beam win, and...gasp...is Chuso in trouble?

 Live From 2024 National Team Camp | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 01:25:39

*UPDATE  We have edited our discussion of Jordan's floor routine story, not Jordan's quote. Why did we do this? Because there were too many misinterpretations of our discussion online. We have heard from USAG that staff are receiving threats. We find this abhorrent! To be crystal clear: The input Jordan received was not from a person within USAG, which we have confirmed. Jordan said “it wasn’t USA” and “not…USAG”.  USAG informed us they first learned of the suggested routine change when we shared the clip on the podcast.  In our commentary following Jordan’s statements, we were not trying to blame anyone indirectly involved. We were attempting to  highlight the lessons from the BLM movement.  Jordan is very excited about her new routine and we have no doubt she will bring all of herself into the routine when it’s performed.  We will share more thoughts on our shows Friday and Monday. National Team Camp This week Jessica is in Texas for US National Team Camp. We recorded with a live Club Gym Nerd member audince for reports from interviews and watching practice at camp.

Elite and Gymternet News Gymnastics Australia's CEO stepped down, Georgia did a Very Serious Balloon Violation,  which made us reminisce fondly over that time Georgia enjoyed a Broadway show and lost a scholarship the beam layout stepout turned the big 5-0.

College Season—Week 3 All 7 teams that competed in Tennessee this weekend scored a program record, some by a point and most by more than a fall. It's giving Spencer medical programs but giving Jessica intense revolution vibes in a new segment: Corrupt or Genius The 10s: Which of the 10.000s scored this week do we believe was the 10-iest?
