Cheng Fei was crying after her floor routine, not vault. Vault was the first final, then floor. Cheng Fei fell on floor.
Anyone speak Chinese that know what Cheng yelled right before doing her 2nd vault?

The selection camp lasted four days last week, and coach Karolyi then announced the team in front of the group. For a while, Lothrop was left guessing when the veteran mentor almost forgot to mention the alternates.

I think that was more the concept used during that time, doesn't seem like it now from what people are saying. West Valley just got a new coach after being without a regular coach for their bars, vault, tumbling (the position usually male coaches fill) for[ Read More... ]

Aljaz Pegan release move called Pegan is USA's Mitch Gaylord's release move (double front) with a half twist.

Vanessa Ferrari competed in a sleevless leo at the Worlds at Stuttgart this year. USA all long-sleeve leos. More of the teams did the long sleeve leos than the sleevless tank leos. I would go with the sleevless tank leos, b/c like you say kat - it's better when you're hot and it's more comfortable too.
It looks like Vanessa just taped her tape grips down around her wrists during her team finals bars routine, rather than tie the tape around her wrist like she did for her bars routine during event finals at Worlds, like a lot of the Chinese gymnasts, so maybe that's because the tape was new. It is good to use new tape each time for around your wrist, and you can re-use the tape grips part a few[ Read More... ]

Cool, good job! Do you do it on the high beam already, no mats? Optionals start for us in December too.
So the gym was completely yours to practice in? Wasn't someone watching you though, for safety and stuff? Probably.
