With the NCAA postseasons for winter sports approaching, top athletes are pulling out all the stops to gain an edge, leading to shattered records on the court, track, pool deck, and mat this weekend.

No. 3 LSU senior Haleigh Bryant earned her 13th career perfect score and her first on beam, becoming the 14th NCAA women’s gymnast ever to achieve perfection in all four events (aka a gym slam).

Unlike other sports’ subjective polling, gymnastics rankings are especially telling: They’re based on score averages throughout the season, meaning squads compete against opponents and their past selves at every meet.

The SEC is packed with talent, boasting more Top-25 teams than any other conference — and last Friday, they certainly lived up to that hype.

Athletes racked up eight perfect 10s this weekend alone, with half coming from squads you might not expect...

Their Top 25 is especially volatile because rankings correlate with average meet scores, not subjective committee votes, like the AP’s.

The season’s first big meet — this weekend’s four-session, Mean Girls–themed Super 16 — is officially in the (burn) books, and it served dominance…and disappointment.

You don’t have to wait until this summer’s Paris Olympics to catch world-class gymnastics — the collegiate women’s season hits the mat this weekend.

On Friday, Red Rocks junior and two-time Team USA World Champion Kara Eaker, a member of Utah’s 2023 national third-place squad, announced her retirement from women’s gymnastics and her withdrawal from the university, citing abuse from an unnamed male coach.

Say bonjour to your weekend plans because the 2023 US Gymnastics Championships are officially underway, with Olympic hopefuls looking to impress in San Jose, CA.

The U.S. Classic —the most important qualifying meet ahead of the USA Gymnastics Championships later this month —begins today, but TBH, the real fun comes tomorrow, when the GOAT, Simone Biles, makes her highly-anticipated return to elite competition after a two-year absence.

About 3,500 (!!!) women across 83 Division I, II, and III gymnastics programs will compete this winter for both individual glory and the single cross-division team natty.
