Men’s NCAA Gymnastics meet snapshot week 3
Tidbits
This is late and brief - sorry! I traveled and spent some time in Oklahoma to see Illinois @ Oklahoma. Then I went to Arizona, where it wasn’t cold.
Ohio State upset Stanford, Fred Richard returned to competition, Oklahoma scored the highest team score in the nation so far (330.7), and Taylor Burkhart of Stanford scored the highest AA score in the nation so far this season (83.9).
The paid attendance at the Oklahoma meet was 1527 people. This isn’t much different than the average attendance of the University of Oklahoma baseball team.
Fred Richard hosted the first Frederickflips competition for juniors and donated the proceeds to the Springfield program.
There is a new men’s gymnastics podcast Podnastics hosted by William and Mary gymnast Christian Marsh and Jakob Daniel.
Men’s NCAA gymnastics got a shout-out from a Japanese fan.
Japan has college gymnastics, but from what I understand they don’t have many meets, so it isn’t equivalent to the US NCAA.
