GYMTERNET NEWS

European Championships are still on! (For some reason?) We discuss the move to Turkey, who's not attending, the change in Olympic qualification, and why this event happening at all.
Gymnast Alliance: Amy Tinkler has the receipts, and the horrifying letter sent to the Australian juniors in 2000.
Plus, the campaigns to save Alaska and Minnesota and William & Mary, how the Italian gymnasts may have been cursed by a sea monster, and the revolving door of NCAA coaching that just keeps revolving.

MEET NEWS

We discuss Mai's domination of Japanese Nationals, Kohei's new identity as a high bar specialist, Chinese Nationals confirming the greatness of Tingting, the importance of Guan Chenchen, and Wei Xiaoyuan's magic charm.
At Szombathely, Marta Pihan-Kulesza. End of podcast.
Plus, a blooper for the ages, a possible 2020 competition opportunity for the US, and Oleg updates.
