    The age falsification database is live—and it confirms what many suspected: this wasn't isolated, it was systemic. We break down what the data shows, why it matters, and how it reshapes gymnastics history. Plus, gymnasts speak out amid civil rights concerns, Oklahoma overtakes Florida for the #1 ranking, LSU breaks 198, and we unpack the most controversial judging moments of Week 4—including bars-gate and that Alabama vs Missouri finish. HEADLINES Thanks to Uncle Tim from Gymnastics-History, we now have an age falsification database Check out the most beautiful balance beam sequence from Delaney McMahon being done right now Gymnasts speaking out against I.C.E. and our suggestions for Minnesota's equality meet. NCAA What happened during week 4? Oklahoma overtakes Florida for the top spot in the country after a 198.425 this weekend, which ties for the highest January score in college gymnastics history LSU also broke the 198 barrier last week Florida had to count a fall on vault after Ly Bui's injury Who is the winner of this week's ''I Don't Want Anything To Do With That'' award? We now have two more 10 after this weekend, for a total of four so far this season Biggest controversies of week 4 Hitting your feet on the mat-gate: why we need a full analysis comparing the score given to Oklahoma's Lily Pederson and Utah's McKenna Smith We are giving you permission to be outraged about scoring at the Alabama vs Missouri meet because ??? We are hitting the one month mark for the 2026 NCAA gymnastics season - what are Jessica's biggest surprises? Alabama fully going for the jock intensity vibe by bench pressing gymnasts on the sides Do NOT count Stanford out. The Cardinals are ranked ninth and it's not even April. This is correct. The team ranked first on floor nationally isn't UCLA, it's not Oklahoma, it's GEORGIA! Riley McCusker is ranked second nationally on bars. Nature is healing. What are Spencer's biggest surprises? (Sad version...) Utah is ranked fourteenth and has two 195s in its first four meets... Kentucky is ranked 32nd and has two 194s in its first three meets.

    Highlights Cut of College & Cocktails: Brunch And A Show - UCLA at MSU

    What is the crazy tape job, why didn't Jordan Chiles get the same score as last week on VT? We dig into lineup choices, judging inconsistencies, and the performances that actually mattered (not just the scores that flashed on screen). What does this result say about UCLA's trajectory? Where does Michigan State stand right now? And which moments raised bigger season-long questions? Then, for Club Gym Nerd members, we go fully behind the scenes — the context you don't get on TV, the conversations you can't have on the main feed, and the honest reactions that happen after the broadcast ends. If you like your gymnastics analysis sharp, opinionated, and paired with a cocktail (or mocktail), this episode is for you.

    Heated Rivalry, But Make It Gymnastics

    In this listener-commissioned bonus episode, we break down the internet's favorite hockey romance through a gymnastics lens — rivalry, pressure, secrecy, slow burns, and why elite athletes are like this. It's an adult conversation with minor spoilers, wheeze giggles, and Oscar's for butt. Commissioned by Karla. This is her fault. Thank you, Alyssa for proving our point with her Ilya speech.
