| 0:00.0 | This week, we're going to talk about the many World Championships teams that have been announced. |
| 0:05.3 | We are going to preview the U.S. World Team Trials. |
| 0:09.3 | We have Shoe Nakamori here, gymnast, Braved Judge, to talk about the men's code changes and his experience with being in Bravade Judge, previewing more of what we're going to see at the World Championships. |
