NCAA Championships: A Victory for Execution (and Curses)

GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast

NCAA Gymnastics Championships

• We discuss Suni's interview about whether (and how long) she's going to stay at Auburn
• Oklahoma is the national champion! How they did it despite a bad start, how they fought for every detail on the final three events, and how Spencer singlehandedly inspired them to victory
• How Florida successfully avoided a Florida postseason implosion but lost the title on vault, and the equipment problem in the semifinal that made everyone have to swaddle Trinity
• Jessica explains the very rare Triple Jinx that kept Utah in third place, and why Auburn was the second happiest group of people in Texas
• Rage about the lack of individual title acknowledgement and the AUDACITY to STAND UP and MOVE AROUND during certain routines
• Trinity Thomas won the all-around and two event titles, and Megan Skaggs surprised for 3rd AA as a perennial leadoff gymnast
• Michigan. Sigh.
• Stellar performances from Missouri and Minnesota to finish 5th and 6th.

Man Things

• Kensley is here to recap men's gymnastics nationals including the inevitability of Stanford's victory, Oklahoma's lineup strategy, and Paul Juda's all-around victory over Brody Malone
• When everyone qualifies to nationals, it's a problem
• Plus, when are men's and women's nationals going to the same site?
