Welcome to The Chalk Show where Podnastics takes on gymnastics topics!

What is GymACT, and how did it help Iowa Men’s Gymnastics survive?

When the Iowa Men’s Gymnastics NCAA program was cut, GymACT stepped in to give these athletes a way to keep competing at the collegiate level. GymACT provides a structure for men’s gymnastics teams to operate independently, allowing programs like Iowa’s to continue without NCAA funding.

Iowa team members Gabe and Connor joined us on PODNASTICS: CHALK SHOW to break down how GymACT works, what it means for the future of men’s gymnastics, and why this model could be the key to keeping the sport alive.

Now, she’s taking on a new role at ESPN, and we’re diving into it all- and some Disney princess side banter!

Tune in and get to know Kiya!
