In the news, Uncle Tim, Spencer from The Balance Beam Situation, and Jessica chat about:

A clarification to start the year off : USA Gymnastics did not actively delete Marvin Sharp's name from Bridget Sloan's biography page, it was automatically deleted when his gym became ineligible for sanctioned competition.

American Cup competitors announced while Russia names 90% of it's Olympic team and Romania announces the Rio training squad.
Our thoughts on Shawn Johnson's new wedding-YouTube channel.
Spencer tells us which elites are killing it in NCAA already, which freshman are on his must-watch list and we discuss our hopes and dreams for the new Greg Marsden, Sam Peszek, Alicia Sacramone commentary team.
Lots of listener feedback about:

0:21.0	This episode, I just said that. And welcome to the Number One Gymnastics podcast in the
0:26.2	Galaxy. I'm Jessica and I'm here with Uncle Tim from Uncle Tim Talks Men's Jib and Spencer

1:50.9	did it intentionally, specifically, I guess.
1:55.0	If that makes sense.
