Headline News

Since we've been gone...

Suni Lee announced her impending returning to elite, Sydney Barros registered a nationality switch, and there are big big changes to the US men's resident program in Colorado Springs.

Meet News

The post-worlds period brought an opportunity for gymnasts to earn some actual money in Switzerland with the Swiss Cup and Arthur Gander Memorial.

We discuss the weird-but-kind-of-awesome format of these meets, the US team of Yul Moldauer and Addison Fatta just edging the Italian team of Nicola Bartolini and Martina Maggio for the Swiss Cup title, Spencer's hyper-interest in the strategy of which events everyone should compete when, and the floor routine that earned Jessica's seal of approval.
How does the prize money for these meets compare to the...actual world championship?

Plus...

News on constant vigilance, bribery, NCAA coach movement, being resilient AF, and most importantly...the Paris Olympic mascot.

0:00.0	Yeah. Okay, so it's a hat. It's a hat, Jessica.
0:04.6	I know. The mascot of the Olympics is a hat. First, I thought it was a red blood cell coming to
0:08.7	teach us about the circulatory system. A red blood cell is circular. It's not in the shape of a
0:13.9	triangle with a hood. Remember, the show is PG-13. So you might hear a naughty word or two.
0:20.7	It's a big money meets with Spotlight season and we're going to give you all the details on
0:26.7	the Swiss Cup and the Arthur Ganemorial. How much athletes earn at these meets compared to
0:31.7	Worlds is also something we're going to discuss. The Me Too gymnast for Change movement is gaining
0:37.6	momentum in Italy and Canada. SUNY announced she's leaving Auburn next year and more Jim
0:43.6	Turnet news. We're back from Worlds and welcome to the number one gymnastics podcast in the Galaxy.
0:48.1	I'm Jessica and I'm here with Spencer from the Bounce Beam situation. Let us discuss first the
0:54.1	headlines, the most important things that have happened since we went to Worlds, did one million
1:01.2	podcasts in a month and then took a well-earned vacation. Did you see the video that Flavia posted
1:10.4	doing her double haul? No, no, I didn't. I've been away, Jessica. I mean not away at all, but away
1:16.8	from the the internet. So it's so healthy for you. I'm so glad that you did that. So Flavia did a
1:25.1	posted video herself doing a double layout and then she like, you know, as you do on the
1:29.8	space floors, if you don't hit him right, it starts to fling you off the floor. So she's her
1:34.8	her coach is spotting her standing behind her, but you put one leg out to, you know, balance
1:40.1	herself like you do and that leg went directly into her coach's crotch and luckily it seems like
1:47.8	it just got his sweatpants and not the fulsure bang, but it's hilarious and basically gymnastics
1:53.6	coaching in a nutshell. If you coach, you've gotten a foot to the face, the eyes, the crotch
1:59.8	somewhere very painful. So it's hilarious. I'm very glad you started with that in terms of
