  • Best Cheng Ever?

    31/10/2023 Duración: 01h10min

    Pan Ams Event Finals Did we just see the best Cheng in gymnastics history from Rebeca Andrade? We discuss, with comparisons to the best from Cheng Fei and Simone Biles. Should the judges have given this a 10 E score? Do we want to live in a world where this isn't a 10 in execution? Plus, the best moments from the rest of the event finals at Pan Ams, including titles from Zoe Miller and Kaliya Lincoln, controversy in the beam final, and the comedy stylings of Franchesca Santi and Jordan Chiles.

From Antwerp to Paris What we learned from worlds and how that shapes our outlook for the Paris Olympics, including the historic era of unpredictability in the women's team competition, the men's all-around dynamic, and necessarily rules adjustments and clarifications regarding—say—the reserve athlete list for event finals.

    On the 10th anniversary of McKayla Maroney's final elite competition in Antwerp, Belgium we revisit her 2016 interview. The Olympic and World Champion settles long debated gymternet questions and we find out what caused the physical and emotional breakdown that ultimately ended her elite career. We discuss: If she feared blowback from speaking frankly about her experiences.  The skill she tried that Marta Karolyi told her to never to do again.   The circumstances surrounding her injuries and multiple surgeries. The post-Olympic tour conditions and their effects on her health.  She answers fans suspicions that her injuries are due to poor nutrition.   Some fans claim that All Olympia Gymnastics Center (AOGC) break gymnasts, her responds.  Did the advice she received from her coaches contribute to her injuries?   How she dealt with self identity as she struggled to stay healthy.  Discusses the role of humility and insecurity through the Olympic selection process.  Does she think the men's team should be more l
