GOATour Rehearsal
Jessica went to rehearsals for the tour and HAS to tell you about what she saw, how it's different from—and so much less lame than—every other tour, and how many times she cried (it was a lot).
Congressional Hearings
Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, McKayla Maroney, and Maggie Nichols testified in front of a Senate committee on the FBI mishandling of the criminal ex-doctor case. We discuss: the SCATHING report from the OIG on the coverups and failures of the FBI, what we learned from their testimony, what we still want to find out, and whether this is actually going to help anything at all or if it's all just an exercise in ego and showboating for senators.
US Men's Worlds Team
Following two days of selection camp, the US men's world team has been named. We break down the utter tragedy of gymnastics that was the first day as well as how non-controversial the ultimate selection was...except for some noteworthy absences from the field.
Gymternet News
The Chinese National Games have started, it's time to irrationally get your hopes up about Romania again, and some worlds teams have been named. Plus, more news and your feedback.

| 1:34.8 | and the 13 hour days. Like it's hilarious. Like the stuff that's going on. It's my favorite. |
| 1:40.7 | So, okay. First of all, just so you know, we had to actually show, not just say that we were |
| 1:44.8 | vaccinating, we had to show our vaccination cards to get in and we had to take a PCR test |
| 1:50.8 | and then we took rapid tests. So, and we were wearing masks, so just so you know that's going on. |
| 1:56.7 | That was going on. What happened on the tour itself with the crowd? I still have some questions about. |
