Summary
The Russia Situation
- The IOC has "recommended" that sport federations bar Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions. What should the FIG do? We discuss.
- Jessica updates us on Putin's secret rhythmic gymnastics family.
Women's Winter Cup
- Konnor McClain won the all-around title without full difficulty and with a bars error, because that's what winners do
- Gymnasts who impressed us like Nola Matthews, Addison Fatta, Zoe Miller, and Azaraya Ra-Akbar
- Plus, the February of it all, the disturbing lack of drunk gym moms, and our concerns about the new code and lack of direction in the women's program
- Stories from the meet: The girl who owns Sam Mikulak now, the $500 Uber, and a coach/judge confrontation
Men's Winter Cup
- Kensley and Documents are here to take us through the men's national team, the way it makes sense and the way it maybe sorta doesn't
- We discuss a crazy bonus system that didn't go as planned, why Yul has barely had a break in a whole year, and what needs to change about funding
- Plus, Asher Hong, Asher Hong, Asher Hong, and the gymnasts who need to be sent to a world cup like yesterday.
