Club Gym Nerd members can watch the podcast being recorded (pre-edits with all the bloopers and blunders that don't make it onto the final show) and see video clips of the gymnastics while we discuss.

This week's episode has been commissioned by Kim, who asked for an episode all about the 1991 VHS spectacular—GYMNASTICS' GREATEST STARS We discuss:

Jessica's show-and-tell primary source artifacts
Doris Fuchs Brause, meet interruptions, her skill, and alleged star-crossed Soviet lovers
The Vera Caslavska protest (I mean, it is GymCastic...)
Olga! Nadia! Nellie being all Nellie!
Enthusiastic sexism...?
Jessica's favorite broken kneecap
Being personally victimized by the event order
Elena Mukhina nightmares
Why we don't talk about Tracee Talavera enough
The Nancy Thies compromised cassette tape
Tong Fei being the star of the whole thing
Bart needing you to know that 1984 WAS NO FLUKE
...and a whole lot more, plus what we would include in GYMNASTICS' GREATEST STARS 2021
