This alumni conversation guest has become famous for what appears to be effortless gymnastics including her layout kickover front on beam and regularly close to if not perfect vaults. Michigan State Junior Captain Gabi Stephen joins us to talk about the fan stardom she has achieved in her two years at MSU, her change in her gymnastics in college and what we can expect to see in 2024, her 2023 NCAA experience and as always how Region 5 impacted her. Gabi has a funny sense of humor and that comes out in this podcast for sure.
Week 9 was a 10 multiple times in Lexington, IT was the all ohio meet but someone apparently forgot to tell Illinois, we apparently have exhibition runners in this sport, well OU is um yeah who will be second this year, and Anya's 10 reaction was epic.
Week 8- Green is great and is the BIG Ten Regular Season Champ color, but how did they win we will explain, We might have to have a run off for President ( I am here for either of them), the Region 5 Yurchenko 1 ½ craze continues with one returning this weekend (Yes Olivia she has competed this year) but will that be the last time we see it, we had so many working parts this week and one team is even on the brink of being Dangerous, oh and I think Kim was at CMU doing behind the scenes research from the broadcast
An Alum is perfect again on floor this week, We tied in Kalamazoo… and then we didn’t, another Yurchenko 1 ½ debuted, Q is back with a head set, Al Ashari had more space in which to perform this week, we had more Memory’s of a goldfish in Champaigne, an angry front tuck on is the only way to do it in Teter Town especially when you are robbed, Holly Harris, need to just grow an inch in your figures on bars and did you know the rules are in the CODE OF CONDUCT!
NCAA Week 6 and all about the bars composition this week well in all of 2024 to be honest, I thought it was regionals weekend with the Denver Stream (R5 Insider Goals), Yurchenko 1 ½ debut this week and she leads our line up, we saw the floor routine we have been waiting for and you will be JIVING about it today, Alyssa Squared killed it for our line up this week, and lets play tik tac toe KENT STYLE!
It was 2 10 weekend for alums in week 5 and they were in the same meet, but I have some thoughts on one of them, Hopefully we don’t have a memory of a goldfish during this podcast, The CAL BEAR HEAD, SunGlasses of all sizes, Some happy faces on beam in Muncie oh and Spartans were happy too!
Week 4 another 10, this one on floor, but her teammate might just think she deserved one as well and she right, Arkansas brings awareness in a cool way, Gianna Gerdes enough said, I have my new favorite non region 5 athlete the week, Not 1 or 2 but 5 pass movements at MSU thats Funk and Spunk if you ask me oh we have more much more, This week was certainly crafted and catered.
Well the state of Tennessee does start with TEN, The amount of gymnastics my eyes watched this past weekend, did we see a new skill at EMU, Silverware at gymnastics meet and we aren’t talking from the concession stand, The NCAA Famous Double Front and I finally saw it live, debut we have been waiting for even it’s not the event we a looking forward to seeing, and our line-up killed it in week 3.
Another Alum was perfect, the Tri meet rotation change for 2024 seems to not be a thing at least in week 2, We got a look at the first of what is to be 4 Destiny Child inspired floor routines, um she isn’t an alum but she deserved a 10, surprise dismount change but she STUCK IT, R5 U Line-up was well listen and find out oh and more feelings from Kim
A Perfect 10 for an alum, Region 5 University has a masters level class, roll out the scroll of alums who debuted in week 1, I feel my voice has been heard even it has nothing to do with me, and the R5 University is off to hot start, oh and the new rule got one of our alums this week at least I think it did, all that, KIm has feelings and we have our new segment Five Jive. Listen in as we recap NCAA Week 1.
The start of another college gymnastics season is about to start and of course we have a whole group of new faces we get to see this season.
