US Classic Preview and Mag 7 Musical Review

The Magnificent Seven: The Musical (51:26)

There's a musical about the Magnificent Seven. It's real. It exists. Your dreams have come true. Lindsey Green was there, and it was...good, you guys. She and Spencer fangirl about it for a while as Lindsey tells us all about her favorite moments, the fluff piece realness, what needs to be improved, and the part when Tim, Elfi, and Tesh get drunk in Atlanta (!!).

US Classic Preview

Everything you need to know: When it's happening, who's competing, and what's on the line here—not a lot, but more than usual.

Your annual reminder not to take the results of Classic seriously, complete with historical (i.e., from 2018) examples
How the Pan Am Games team will be decided, who's in the running for it (not Trinity, Jessica), and what the approach to team selection should be
How gymnasts can qualify from Classic to nationals and all of the problems we have with that
What we're most excited to see from the seniors:
- Potential UPGRADES
- Unknown factors like MyKayla Skinner, Jordan Chiles, and Gabby Perea
- Jessica's Official Superstars of Dance and Form
What we're most excited to see from the juniors:
- The #JusticeforKonnorMcClain moment of truth
- Jessica's obsession named Sienna Robinson
- The Sydney Barros floor routine we DIDN'T GET TO SEE at junior worlds (not over it)
- Olivia Greaves' ridiculous bars routine and much more
The deets
