| 0:00.0 | Remember the show is PG-13. So you might hear I'm naughty word or two. |
| 0:06.0 | Five more world champions were crowned today on the final day of world championships from |
| 0:11.6 | Antwerp Belgium, more history for Simone Biles and Rebecca Androje and Flavia Brazil. |
| 0:18.4 | Basically, we're talking about Brazil this episode. It's October 8th and welcome to the |
| 0:23.1 | number one gymnastics podcast in the Galaxy Gymcastic. I'm Jessica and here was Spencer from |
| 0:28.2 | the Balancing Situation. And today is show. We have so much to talk about. So let's start |
| 0:35.9 | with the 100% most important competition at any world championships or Olympics. |
| 0:41.7 | Correct. The beam final. The beam final. True. True test of the gymnast. The beam final. |
| 0:49.4 | We might might have time to talk about other finals, but like the less important finals, maybe. |

| 1:33.9 | You think the best routine on any event all year or just the best beam of the year? |
| 1:38.4 | Is it her best? Because I feel like there's been some floor that I would rank. |
| 1:43.0 | There was a floor, yeah, her team final. Which one? Yeah, team final floor, I think was the best floor |
| 1:48.6 | of the year. But this was her best beam of the year. So I do think that Zhao's routine was the |
| 1:58.6 | most beamy beam routine. And I love it. But what I also love about this podium is we have Simone |
| 2:06.7 | who's doing the least for the least of deductions for the most perfect routine. And then we have Zhao |
