GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast8 Dec 2021

The Best College Gymnasts You're Not Watching (Commissioned)

This episode has been commissioned by the Courtney Bumpers Fan Club, where we discuss the college gymnastics things we don't talk enough—past, present, and future (?)

Vault: Elites Could Never Edition, starring Kendall Whitman and Allison Zuhlke
GymCastic Mythbusters: "Increasing difficulty requirements makes smaller teams less able to contend"
A Moment in History: The single best beam routine in the history of college gymnastics, the single best mount in the history of college gymnastics, and the single best movement quality in the history of college gymnastics
On the importance of one-knee elements, backspins, and Korbuts
Elizabeth Culton: When is she getting a 10?
The viral gymnastics routine --a discussion on race and black excellence.
Discussion: Leotard bonus, is it real, why does it happen, and what do we do about it?
QUIZ: Gymnasts, firsts and records you should know about
More important than the Gym Slam, the QuadraDiva: A gymnast who has won four or more of the five individual college gymnastics titles (all-around, vault, bars, beam, floor)
Discussion: Going viral. Can it happen for gymnasts from smaller schools?
Plus, why we need to talk about gymnasts Ariana Castrence, Emerson Hurst, Nika Takagi, Emma Milne, and Kendal Knaps.
