The MOST IMPORTANT stars of the meet, like Donnell Whittenburg's sweatband and Gage Dyer's full-twisting butterfly
Sam Mikulak hit 12-for-12 you guys. Sam Mikulak. At nationals. Also, his pommel horse warmup is a penguin dance. FYI.
Updates on Colin Van Wicklen and Alec Yoder, our ideas for Akash Modi sponsorships, Shane Wiskus's one-arm Cassina, why Brody Malone was left off the national team, and what the worlds team outlook is now.
Kensley talked to Brett McClure about how the Pan Ams performances were compared to nationals performances for the purposes of selection and which athletes want to go the individual world cup route
Which MAG athletes want to do floor with music
Asher Hong finally competed at nationals, and Colt Walker and Taylor Burkhart were junior champions
