Paul Ruggeri, Steve Legendre, Brandon Wynn, Donell Whittenburg, Sam Mikulak, Danell Leyva, Alex Naddour and Jake Dalton (L-R) at training camp in Rio.

In the news, Jessica, Spanny Tampson, and Lauren Hopkins chat about:

  • The most important innovator on vault of all time, Natalia Yurchenko gave a fantastic interview which made us wonder if more cultural context is needed when commentary is given about the Russian gymnast's sideline
  • Who we are most excited to see at the American Cup and why Mai Murakami is going to win floor according to Jessica.
  • NCAA (19:00)
    • Why aren't there more head coaches of color in the NCAA?
    • Heroes of the week: Alex Marks (OU), Kennedy Baker (FL), Michaela Gerber (UCLA)
    • The Yurchenko 1.5 situation
    • Can someone interpret Charity Jones (OU) floor routine for us?
    • Which team we'd buy a workout video from because their conditioning is insane!
  • Gymternet News (49:00)
    • Afanasyeva has ankle treatment in Munich
    • Why do all the Russians have to go to Germany for medical care?
    • Nica Hults got a 10 on beam while Simone Biles cheered like crazy and Chusovitina intimidated the judges at the Texas Prime meet.
    • The US men wore culturally appropriate bathing suits on their trip to Rio, and shocker, the world responded with joy!
    • Where we'd send the US women for international training camps like the men have.
