Gymnastics, gymnastics, gymnastics! I'm from New York so I LOVE Team USA, but I'm also a huge fan of many international teams and athletes so my posts won't be super biased. I'm also a huge NCAA fan with big Gator and Bruin love. I write lots of commentary and analysis for www.thecouchgymnast.com. I'm a history major at Columbia University and I'm obsessed with travel. Check out my personal tumblr, Inner Monoblog!

UTAH (beam)

  • Mary Beth Lofgren - bhs loso with a balance check, missed the rest! - 9.85
  • Corrie Lothrop - nice aerial, off on the bhs loso which is a shame, 1.5 dismount - 9.225

STANFORD (floor)

  • Shona Morgan - nice stuck double pike in the middle pass! - 9.75

  • Nicole Pechanec - lovely double tuck, missed a bunch of it, weird choreo, okay routine and looks very happy - 9.65
