Are These The Five Chinese Women’s Olympic Team Members? A Wrap-Up of This Weekend’s Chinese Nationals
The American women’s team isn’t the only gymnastics powerhouse with five out of six returning Olympic veterans trying to make a run for London.

Cheng’s Chances
With so much hype surrounding the American and Russian women’s teams – which have split the last two world team titles and are expected to battle for gold in London – it’s easy to forget that the defending Olympic women’s team champions are still the Chinese. Perhaps it was the inspiration of a home Olympic ...
Videos Up From Womens Pacific Rim Event Finals!
Bars Gabby Douglas (6.4 + 8.75 = 15.15) She unquestionably has one of the very best full spins to elgrip I’ve ever seen – similar to the way Nastia Liukin used to do it but with better form. I bet she could easily do another full spin to elgrip out of it. One suggestion…could she start the routine ...
An Extended Analysis of The Women’s Pacific Rim Championships
After being away for the weekend, I finally had the opportunity to watch the entire NBC broadcast of the Women’s Pacific Rim Championships. Below are the thoughts that ran through my head, in no particular order: The USA women have never enjoyed such a monopoly over the top all-around gymnasts in the world, and ...

USA Wins It!!!
The team final that most expected would be a tight race between the USA, China, and Russia ended up being a landslide, with the USA easily regaining the world team title it last won in 2007. The Americans were absolutely rock solid and delivered perhaps their best team performance ever under the pressure-filled, three-up-three-count format. The ...

Don’t Be Fooled…A Look At The Real Scores From Qualifications
What if… …we took the top three scores only from the top four teams from preliminaries? After all, that’s exactly what’s going to happen in team finals. The only difference is each team will have to pick their best three gymnasts BEFORE they compete, rather than retrospectively picking the top three scores out of five on ...
Women’s Team Qualifications…Themes From The Top Three
American Rookies Come Through! The USA faced quite the challenge at these world championships. This team has suffered numerous recent major injuries to several veterans who would have provided experience, inspiration, and big scores on the world stage: Rebecca Bross, Chellsie Memmel, Mackenzie Caquatto, and Alicia Sacramone…and Shawn Johnson and Bridget Sloan weren’t quite physically ...
Math Madness! And The Favorite for the Women’s Team Title In Tokyo Is….

The numbers say yes. Below are some number-crazy charts that summarize the D-scores ...
