GymCastic: The Gymnastics Podcast25 Juli 2023

One Year To Paris

The FIG has opened a pathway for Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete in 2024 and (potentially) qualify to the Paris Olympics. We discuss what standards could be used to determine which athletes, if any, are eligible, and what this reveals about the FIG's motives
US Classic news: The schedule for US Classic has been changed, as has the US women's qualifying score for nationals. What's up with that?
Plus, an update on the saga of Heath Thorpe not being named to the Australian team for worlds

One Year to Paris
