One mistake can wreck an entire all-around- unless you know how to reset fast. We sit down with Australian MAG star Jesse Moore, fresh off Commonwealth Games medals, to talk mid-routine mindset, judging credit, the brutality of rings, and his road to LA 2028- plus the real grind behind it: 40+ hour training weeks, funding, and competing internationally with celiac disease.

"Don't eat dinner, you're too fat." That's a real thing gymnasts were told, and it shaped how a whole generation thinks about food.

We're going back to gymnastics from 2010 to 2018, when low-carb diets and "healthy living" were basically the same thing, and a lot of us trained hard on empty without realizing it until after we retired. We talk about water restriction, sweatsuits, and how extreme rules start to feel normal.

Then we get into what changed when we started fueling like athletes: carb timing, recovery, and protecting our bodies. We also cover how the recipe blog started, what a day on the plate looks like now, and what the Paris Olympic Village food was really like.

Plus rapid-fire hot takes on beam, scoring, and why Worlds deserves more love.

In the very first episode of The Gymnastics Files, co-founders Emma Nedov and Arman Liew explain why they built this podcast- and dive straight into the parts of elite gymnastics fans rarely hear about.

Emma, a 2024 Paris Olympian, walks through how Olympic selection actually works behind the scenes, including a last-minute change to her beam routine she chose not to tell her own coach about. 

The pair also unpacks the money side of the sport: who really pays when a young gymnast gets selected to compete internationally, why medals in Australia don't come with prize money, and how funding categorization works at a national level.
