Hiii Gym Fans!

Happy Thursday!! We are back in action with our regular segments this week! This means we of course have our top 10 gymnastics headlines, including, but not limited to, European Gymnastics lifting the ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes, a breakdown of Melanie de Jesus dos Santos’ shocking interview and some BIG NCAA commitment news.

From there we move on to the main meat and potatoes, if you will. We’re discussing and breaking down the NCAA NQS overhaul and two other new rules that will take effect at the start of the 2026 season.

Finally, in Gymnast Are People Too we’re talking about Simone Biles’ house OFFICIALLY being completed!! Beyond happy for them as it has felt like the home turned into the next Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain (the cathedral that is still not done being built more than 140 years after they started).

Let us know in the comments what you think of these new rules for NCAA!

We'll catch you on the flip side!

Happy Thanksgiving!! We are so friggin thankful for you and your support on this new adventure. So of course we had to show you some love and gratitude by giving you a lighthearted, easy to watch episode for you to put on while you eat your reheated leftovers.

We promise we aren’t skipping out on the good stuff – we have a whole top 10 lineup for you as always. We’re talking NCAA gym news, a little Junior Worlds recap and a few other need-to-know gymnastics headlines.

However, after that all structure goes out the window (kinda, because Patricia is too type A to completely throw it out the window without a plan LOL), we are reviewing, recapping and reminiscing on the cinematic masterpiece that is Stick It. Yes, you read that right.

We went back and rewatched the 2006 cult classic and re-evaluated its relevance, how well it portrayed the sport and how good the film itself really is nearly 20 years later. We hope our rave reviews will get you to watch it this season because, dare we say, it is the PERFECT holiday movie (pun intended).

Comment your favorite Stick It quote and what you rate it in our comments.

We hope you guys have the best Thanksgiving!

We’re SO back and of course we had to make our comeback BIGGER and better than before. So instead of two separate episodes – one regular DECODED EP and one Worlds Recap EP – we decided to leave them together and give you a JUMBO sized EP. Let’s just call it even after missing last week and getting this week’s up late… okay? 

So what can you expect? A wicked fast Top 10 headlines segment, including some worlds content, what you should do with your time now that Worlds is over and a little NCAA news.

BUT the main event – the biggest part of this week’s podcast – is a FULL, IN-DEPTH review of Jakarta 2025. From mishaps to highway robbery… we’re covering it all. 

Finally, we wrap up this week’s episode with a Jorda(y)n squared segment that lasts all of about 10 seconds. 

We hope you enjoy this mega large episode because lord knows we can’t be doing this all the time!! Back to regular scheduled (and timed) EPs next week.

Welcome back to the DECODED podcast for episode 4! This week is going to be a big one as we are just two weeks out from our first Worlds of the quad. With that being said, this episode is NOT going to break down the U.S. women’s world team that will be heading to Jakarta this month. Instead, that will be a special episode we’ll release a little later this week!

We did this so we could still bring you the Top 10 gymnastics headlines as well as dive into some other non-Worlds related gym news. This includes remembering the life of Indonesian athlete, 19-year-old Naufal Takdir Al Bari, some major injury updates, and a Szombathely World Challenge Cup recap.

Plus, we're giving you our first overview of what the 53rd World Artistic Gymnastics Championships will look like.

Editor’s note: Olympic Beam Champ Alice D’Amato will not be at the 2025 World Championships as she did not make the Italian World team.

AND! We end on a super sweet story from Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan.

Make sure to stay tuned for our U.S. Women’s World Team Selection Camp recap coming in the next few days.
