Click here to see Alex's detailed spreadsheet outlining our contenders. The Rules: For each quad, pick the number of gymnasts based on the rules at that time (e.g. the Sydney format is 6-5-4, Athens is 6-3-3, London is 5-3-3, Tokyo is 4-3-3 + 2 individuals) If you are too heartbroken to leave an athlete at home, you can name 2 travelling alternates.

Sunisa Lee, una gimnasta de Estados Unidos, ganó tres medallas olímpicas en París. Esto es asombroso porque estaba muy enferma hace pocos meses. En diciembre, por problemas en sus riñones que la hicieron subir mucho de peso. A Lee le encanta hacer gimnasia

After Biles revealed her former teammate blocked her on X, formerly known as Twitter, for mocking her prior comments after celebrating her 2024 Paris Olympics win, she is calling a truce. "Watching people cheer on the bullying … is disgusting," she said, noting that she's received a lot of "death threats" toward herself and her husband and child. As OK previously reported, Biles, 27, made fun of Skinner's prior comments in which she said present day gymnasts "don't work as hard" as they used to, seemingly referring to Biles and her teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles, Sunisa Lee and Hazyl Rivera. "But not just heartbroken because it isn't what I feel or even how I previously said, but because Simone's latest post and others that followed it fueled another wave of hateful comments, DMs, articles and emails," she added.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Another Olympics, another set of stellar performances by the U.S. women's artistic gymnastics team. Thursday, the team won two medals in the women's all-around final: a gold for Simone Biles and a bronze for Sunisa Lee. The medals add to the team's overall count, which also includes a gold for the women's team final. Simone and Suni are expected to lead the team to more medals in the coming days. Each day the gymnasts compete, we are left to pick our jaws off the floor and wonder: How do they do that? So we called up one of our favorite science communicators, Frederic Bertley, to explain just that. He's the CEO of the Center of Science and Industry and our gymnastics physics guide for the day.Follow NPR's 2024 Paris Olympics coverage.Want us to cover the science powering other Olympians?

Join Cathy Linh Che, Kyle Lucia Wu, and illustrator Kavita Ramchandran for a book launch and celebration of An Asian American A to Z. A comprehensive and spirited exploration of Asian American history—its movements, cultures, and key figures—An Asian American A to Z is a beautifully illustrated and compellingly told for readers of all ages. Co-authors Cathy Linh Che and Kyle Lucia Wu take us on a journey through stories of celebration and resistance: the Third World Liberation Front, the Muslim Ban, Japanese American incarceration camps, Padma Lakshmi, Rashida Tlaib, Sunisa Lee, and more. It is a history of struggle, but also one of great triumph, brought to life with colorful and dynamic illustrations by Kavita Ramchandran. Written by the directors of Kundiman—an organization dedicated to nurturing Asian American writers—An Asian American A to Z is a book for children of all backgrounds and a vital resource for tomorrow's organizers. Asian American identity formation is expansive yet under-taught, and this book is a necessary intervention that will ground readers in joy, history, and solidarity. ​​“This is the book I wish I had when I was growing up. It's the book I'm glad I have now, one that I can read to my own children. Personal and political, playful and provocative, this rhyming guide brilliantly condenses rich, complicated Asian American histories. It's an A to Z book that isn't the last word on Asian American cultures but rather the beginning of many conversations.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen “An essential collection for any children's library—it's the book I wish I had for my own children when they were young. Informative, engaging and delicious rhymes—Che and Wu are simply enchanting storytellers. This book is foundational and intersectional, providing just the right historical touch to pique kids' curiosity and encourage further reading for all!” —Aimee Nezhukumatathil “In An Asian American A to Z, Che, Wu, and Ramchandran share a beautiful, bright, and inclusive history of Asian America that is sure to inspire and delight readers. Asian Americans have much to be proud of, and much to look forward to.” —Sarah Park Dahlen ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Speakers: Cathy Linh Che is the daughter of Vietnam War refugees.

Strictly going by standings, reigning Olympic all-around gold medalist Sunisa Lee finished last at the U.S. Championships — yet ask anybody who knows her and they will view those results in a completely different light. "It is exciting to see her overcome everything that she has and come back out here stronger, because I think it does send a good message to the younger ones," said Simone Biles, who won her eighth championship. The score sheet with Biles on top and Lee at the very bottom hardly told the story of Lee's tumultuous year dealing with a kidney-related health issue and just how much it took to even get to San Jose, California where the championships were held. In and out of the hospital because of the kidney issue, the 20-year-old Lee was forced to end her sophomore collegiate season early at Auburn. On April 3, she posted on social media: "My focus at this time is my health and recovery." So the fact she competed at U.S. Championships mattered so much more than the tie for 27th place. Oh, and Lee still got to stand on the podium with a bronze finish on the beam. She didn't compete at all on uneven bars — her signature event — or floor exercise, causing the lowest score. Lee's eyes are still clearly set on the Paris Olympics next summer, seemingly determined as ever to overcome the latest challenges in her young life. If anyone knows how to persevere, it's Lee. U.S. Olympic medalist Chellsie Memmel, the technical lead for USA Gymnastics, admires Lee's courage to keep fighting through each tough day. Nobody is counting her out to make the Americans' five-woman squad. "I'm proud of what she's able to do dealing with everything that she is going through," Memmel said. "So to be able to come out here each day and perform very nice on beam and vault, she's not just doing those events, we've gotten to see her train on bars. It's inspiring." Lee could be chosen to compete in just a couple of events for the Americans. Whatever happens, Lee has a huge cheering section as she goes forward. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Simone Biles is an eight time all-around national champion! Reigning Olympic all-around champion, Sunisa Lee, was fantastic on beam.

NCAAMBKB – Men’s College Basketball Last Night Michigan State 86, (4) Kentucky 77 – 2OT Bradley 89, Eastern Michigan 61 Michigan State 86, (4) Kentucky 77 – 2OT – Michigan State outlasts Tshiebwe, No. 4 Kentucky in 2OT Malik Hall forced two extra periods with dunks off inbounds plays, and Michigan State outlasted No. 4 Kentucky 86-77 in double overtime after Oscar Tshiebwe concluded his strong season debut by fouling out. Tshiebwe, last season’s consensus national player of the year, had 22 points and 18 rebounds for the Wildcats before picking up his fifth foul late in the first overtime. Michigan State, coming off a one-point loss to No. 2 Gonzaga on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, appeared headed for another tough nonconference defeat. But the Spartans tied the game in the final seconds of regulation and overtime thanks to Hall, who finished with 20 points. Bradley 89, EMU 61 – Bradley wins 89-61 against Eastern Michigan Led by Malevy Leons’ 16 points, the Bradley Braves defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles 89-61 on Tuesday night. The Braves improved to 2-1 with the victory and the Eagles fell to 1-2. Emoni Bates had a game high 20 points to lead Eastern Michigan.

The Bulldogs’ Southeastern Conference rivals Tennessee and LSU are at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. With three of the top six teams and only three weeks left until Selection Sunday, the SEC appears in position to put two teams in the CFP for the second straight season and third time overall. USC, the Pac-12′s best and probably last hope to make the final four, is seventh. NCAAFB – Charlotte hires Michigan’s Poggi as head football coach The Charlotte 49ers have named Michigan associate head coach Francis “Biff” Poggi as their head football coach. Poggi replaces Will Healy, who was fired earlier this season. Pete Rossomando has been serving as the interim coach and will finish out this season. Poggi inherits a team that has struggled in 2022. The 49ers are 2-9 entering the season finale Saturday against Louisiana Tech. Poggi’s introductory news conference is scheduled for next week. He is Charlotte’s third head football coach since the school’s FBS football program started in 2015. NCAAFB – USC, UCLA may cause Big Ten schools to expand recruiting map Southern California and UCLA’s pending arrivals to the Big Ten theoretically should give the league’s existing members the opportunity to expand their recruiting maps and pursue more West Coast prospects. But it apparently will take some time for these moves to have that kind of impact. Twelve high school juniors or seniors from states with Pac-12 programs have verbally committed to play football at one of the Big Ten’s 14 current member schools. Only four made their decisions after the Big Ten’s June 30 announcement that USC and UCLA would join the league in 2024. NCAAFB – University of Virginia mourns for campus shooting victims The University of Virginia community is mourning as new details emerge about both the three football players killed in a campus shooting this week and the criminal charges the suspect faces. Authorities have said university student Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. joined a group of about two dozen others who traveled by bus Sunday to Washington for a field trip. After the bus arrived back on campus, authorities say Jones opened fire, killing the three players and wounding two others. Jones was scheduled to make a first court appearance Wednesday. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Anaheim Ducks 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 – OT Ducks 3, Red Wings 2 – OT – Ducks beat Wings, snap 3-game skid on Strome’s OT goal Ryan Strome scored on a pass from Trevor Zegras with 49 seconds left in overtime and the Anaheim Ducks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. After John Klingberg scored his first goal for his new team with 46 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, the Ducks earned only their fifth win of the season when a clearing attempt by Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi hit Strome in front of the net. Zegras and Strome executed a back-and-forth passing game that ended with Strome’s fifth goal of the season. Tonight St. Louis Blues at Chicago Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m. MLB – Veteran skippers Francona, Showalter voted Managers of Year Terry Francona of the Cleveland Guardians and Buck Showalter of the New York Mets have been voted Managers of the Year, improving the already sparkling resumes of both veteran baseball leaders. Showalter narrowly won the National League award in a wide-open race, becoming the third person to take the prize four times and the first to do it with four different franchises. He won in the American League with the New York Yankees in 1994, Texas Rangers in 2004 and Baltimore Orioles in 2014. The other four-time winners are Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa. Baltimore’s Brandon Hyde finished second to Francona in the American League, while Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers was runner-up in the NL. MLB – Rizzo, Yankees agree to $40M, 2-year contract First baseman Anthony Rizzo is staying with the New York Yankees, agreeing to a $40 million, two-year contract. Rizzo gets $17 million in each of the next two seasons, and the deal includes a $17 million team option for 2025 with a $6 million buyout. Rizzo had opted out of his previous contract with New York, giving up a $16 million salary for 2023. Since joining the Yankees at the 2021 trade deadline, Rizzo had provided needed left-handed power for New York. NFL – Bears place RB Herbert on IR because of hip injury The Chicago Bears have placed running back Khalil Herbert on injured reserve because of a hip injury, a big setback for a team leading the NFL in rushing yards. Herbert will miss at least four games. He was hurt returning a kickoff near the end of last week’s 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions. Herbert is the team’s second-leading rusher behind quarterback Justin Fields. He has 643 yards on 108 attempts while sharing duties with David Montgomery. Golf – LIV/PGA – McIlroy says Norman needs to ‘exit stage left’ from LIV Golf Rory McIlroy says golf cannot begin to come together as long as Greg Norman is running Saudi-funded LIV Golf.

Michigan State, coming off a one-point loss to No. 2 Gonzaga on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, appeared headed for another tough nonconference defeat. But the Spartans tied the game in the final seconds of regulation and overtime thanks to Hall, who finished with 20 points. Bradley 89, EMU 61 – Bradley wins 89-61 against Eastern Michigan Led by Malevy Leons’ 16 points, the Bradley Braves defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles 89-61 on Tuesday night.

USC, the Pac-12′s best and probably last hope to make the final four, is seventh. NCAAFB – Charlotte hires Michigan’s Poggi as head football coach The Charlotte 49ers have named Michigan associate head coach Francis “Biff” Poggi as their head football coach.

The U.S. was the top choice to win at 24%, followed by Brazil at 19%, Argentina at 17% and Germany at 10%.

Tshiebwe, last season’s consensus national player of the year, had 22 points and 18 rebounds for the Wildcats before picking up his fifth foul late in the first overtime. Michigan State, coming off a one-point loss to No. 2 Gonzaga on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln, appeared headed for another tough nonconference defeat. But the Spartans tied the game in the final seconds of regulation and overtime thanks to Hall, who finished with 20 points. Bradley 89, EMU 61 – Bradley wins 89-61 against Eastern Michigan Led by Malevy Leons’ 16 points, the Bradley Braves defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles 89-61 on Tuesday night. The Braves improved to 2-1 with the victory and the Eagles fell to 1-2. Emoni Bates had a game high 20 points to lead Eastern Michigan. Tonight (20) Michigan vs. Pittsburgh, 6:00 p.m. at Brooklyn,       WSJM 5:30 Southern Indiana at Notre Dame, 8:00 p.m. NCAAWBKB – Women’s College Basketball Last Night Michigan State 85, Oakland 39 Tonight Central Michigan at Indianapolis, 6:00 p.m. Western Michigan at (23) Michigan, 7:00 p.m. (9) Notre Dame at Northwestern, 9:00 p.m. NBA – National Basketball Association Tonight Indiana Pacers at Charlotte Hornets, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Bulls at New Orleans Pelicans, 8:00 p.m. NCAAFB – College Football – Week 12 Tonight Eastern Michigan at Kent State, 6:00 p.m. Western Michigan at Central Michigan, 8:00 p.m. NCAAFB – Hold steady: UGA, Ohio St, Michigan, TCU remain CFP top 4 Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU held on to the top four spots in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Bulldogs’ Southeastern Conference rivals Tennessee and LSU are at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively. With three of the top six teams and only three weeks left until Selection Sunday, the SEC appears in position to put two teams in the CFP for the second straight season and third time overall. USC, the Pac-12′s best and probably last hope to make the final four, is seventh. NCAAFB – Charlotte hires Michigan’s Poggi as head football coach The Charlotte 49ers have named Michigan associate head coach Francis “Biff” Poggi as their head football coach. Poggi replaces Will Healy, who was fired earlier this season. Pete Rossomando has been serving as the interim coach and will finish out this season. Poggi inherits a team that has struggled in 2022. The 49ers are 2-9 entering the season finale Saturday against Louisiana Tech. Poggi’s introductory news conference is scheduled for next week. He is Charlotte’s third head football coach since the school’s FBS football program started in 2015. NCAAFB – USC, UCLA may cause Big Ten schools to expand recruiting map Southern California and UCLA’s pending arrivals to the Big Ten theoretically should give the league’s existing members the opportunity to expand their recruiting maps and pursue more West Coast prospects. But it apparently will take some time for these moves to have that kind of impact. Twelve high school juniors or seniors from states with Pac-12 programs have verbally committed to play football at one of the Big Ten’s 14 current member schools. Only four made their decisions after the Big Ten’s June 30 announcement that USC and UCLA would join the league in 2024. NCAAFB – University of Virginia mourns for campus shooting victims The University of Virginia community is mourning as new details emerge about both the three football players killed in a campus shooting this week and the criminal charges the suspect faces. Authorities have said university student Christopher Darnell Jones Jr. joined a group of about two dozen others who traveled by bus Sunday to Washington for a field trip. After the bus arrived back on campus, authorities say Jones opened fire, killing the three players and wounding two others. Jones was scheduled to make a first court appearance Wednesday. NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Anaheim Ducks 3, Detroit Red Wings 2 – OT Ducks 3, Red Wings 2 – OT – Ducks beat Wings, snap 3-game skid on Strome’s OT goal Ryan Strome scored on a pass from Trevor Zegras with 49 seconds left in overtime and the Anaheim Ducks snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. After John Klingberg scored his first goal for his new team with 46 seconds left in regulation to force overtime, the Ducks earned only their fifth win of the season when a clearing attempt by Detroit’s Tyler Bertuzzi hit Strome in front of the net. Zegras and Strome executed a back-and-forth passing game that ended with Strome’s fifth goal of the season. Tonight St. Louis Blues at Chicago Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m. MLB – Veteran skippers Francona, Showalter voted Managers of Year Terry Francona of the Cleveland Guardians and Buck Showalter of the New York Mets have been voted Managers of the Year, improving the already sparkling resumes of both veteran baseball leaders. Showalter narrowly won the National League award in a wide-open race, becoming the third person to take the prize four times and the first to do it with four different franchises. He won in the American League with the New York Yankees in 1994, Texas Rangers in 2004 and Baltimore Orioles in 2014. The other four-time winners are Hall of Famers Bobby Cox and Tony La Russa. Baltimore’s Brandon Hyde finished second to Francona in the American League, while Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers was runner-up in the NL. MLB – Rizzo, Yankees agree to $40M, 2-year contract First baseman Anthony Rizzo is staying with the New York Yankees, agreeing to a $40 million, two-year contract. Rizzo gets $17 million in each of the next two seasons, and the deal includes a $17 million team option for 2025 with a $6 million buyout. Rizzo had opted out of his previous contract with New York, giving up a $16 million salary for 2023. Since joining the Yankees at the 2021 trade deadline, Rizzo had provided needed left-handed power for New York. NFL – Bears place RB Herbert on IR because of hip injury The Chicago Bears have placed running back Khalil Herbert on injured reserve because of a hip injury, a big setback for a team leading the NFL in rushing yards. Herbert will miss at least four games. He was hurt returning a kickoff near the end of last week’s 31-30 loss to the Detroit Lions. Herbert is the team’s second-leading rusher behind quarterback Justin Fields. He has 643 yards on 108 attempts while sharing duties with David Montgomery. Golf – LIV/PGA – McIlroy says Norman needs to ‘exit stage left’ from LIV Golf Rory McIlroy says golf cannot begin to come together as long as Greg Norman is running Saudi-funded LIV Golf. McIlroy says no one is going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room and that Norman needs to go. McIlroy is in Dubai for the DP World Tour Championship that ends the European tour season. McIlroy says it will be difficult to get anywhere until lawsuits in the U.S. and the U.K. are sorted out. He also takes issue with Norman saying Tiger Woods should be thankful for LIV forcing the tour to provide more money to plays. Olympics – Summer 2024 – 2020 Olympic champ Sunisa Lee to make a run at Paris 2024 Sunisa Lee is going to make another run at Olympic glory. The 2020 women’s all-around gymnastics champion has announced she will return to training at the elite level following the end of her sophomore season at Auburn. Lee became the fifth straight American to win Olympic gold when she edged Rebeca Andrade of Brazil in the finals at the 2020 games in Tokyo. Lee still fulfilled her commitment to compete at Auburn, helping the Tigers to the NCAA finals last spring. Lee says she doesn’t want her gold-medal moment in Japan to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Tennis – Unvaccinated Djokovic set for visa to play Australian Open Novak Djokovic is set to be granted a visa to play in the Australian Open in January despite his high-profile deportation from Australia this year because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. The Australian Broadcasting Corp. says it has confirmed newspaper reports that the immigration minister is putting aside Djokovic’s potential three-year exclusion period from Australia. Djokovic is a 35-year-old from Serbia who had faced that lengthy ban because he is a foreign citizen whose visa was revoked. The Australian Border Force previously said an exclusion period could be waived under certain circumstances. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has declined to comment on privacy. FIFA – World Cup – Gambling group estimates US will bet $1.8B on World Cup Americans will bet $1.8 billion on the World Cup this year, according to the casino industry’s national trade group. The American Gaming Association estimates that 20.5 million American adults plan to bet on the biggest soccer tournament in the world, legally or otherwise.

The Spaghetti Podcast is back! We will be recapping the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games! The Olympics never fail to leave me stunned. I revel at the fact that I can witness athletes move in extraordinary ways. But there is a lot that we don't see or hear about. Olympic athletes dedicate nearly their entire lives to the day they will perform at the Olympic Games. What is it about them that allows them to compete at the Olympic level - a level that no other human can compete at? In Episode 7, we will be taking a look at the U.S. National Gymnastics team, and explore the story of Sunisa Lee. We will also be observing the relationship Lee had with fellow teammate Simone Biles, and how they comforted each other prior to the 2020 Games held this past summer. Just like we can set standards with spaghetti, Olympic athletes set standards for themselves by competing in different environments and qualifiers ahead of the actual games. The story of Suni Lee - https://www.elle.com/culture/a36503849/suni-lee-olympics-gymnastics-tokyo/ Suni Lee's Olympic Routine - https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/relive-suni-lees-gold-medal-performance-womens-all-around Linktree for The Spaghetti Podcast - https://linktr.ee/thespaghettipodcast

Episode #110 – On this Wonderful Women Wednesday, we celebrate Olympic Champion Sunisa Lee.  Known as Suni, she was born in St. Paul, MN.  She was a high school senior while participating in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. At one point while preparing for the Olympics she wanted to quit during quarantine – Team USA is glad she didn't.  She is proudly part of the Hmong American community, and they are very proud of her.  Now, she is taking on two more challenges and opportunities.  She' s a freshman at Auburn University and also will be on the 30th Season of Dancing with the Stars.  With all of her endeavors, she's quoted as saying “It's definitely going to be very different, but I know that it's not going to be as difficult as anything I did in the Olympics or leading up to the Olympics. So, I know that I'm good in that area, but I think it's more mental because I'm not a very good dancer. So, I'm excited to see how this plays out and I'm really excited to find out who my partner is and just how the whole thing will go. I think it'll be very fun.” WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

Marriage... is that still a thing? To us, yes it is! Marriage means something to everyone, and people have their own rules/standards in a partnership. Pre-nups... Couples Counseling... Do your thing, just be on the same page with your partner... and go to therapy! We tackle Simone Biles prioritizing her mental health, PJ Washington taking his L and Olympian, Sunisa Lee, winning GOLD for all-around gymnastics... the first Hmong American to do so -- period.

It's out with the old, in with the new at this year's Olympic Games...or is it? With Andre De Grasse's gold medal win in the 200m, Ellen and guest host Courtney are looking at how De Grasse can fill the GOAT-shaped void left by Usain Bolt, and if other rising stars like gymnast Sunisa Lee and swimmer Caeleb Dressel can do the same.  Add that to a preview of the upcoming women's soccer medal matches as CanWNT plays for gold and USWNT for bronze.

In this installment, I discuss the value of initiative, the uncertainty of outcomes, and the importance of moving forward. We discuss one of the recent hot-button issues on social media, how people are divided on how to interpret and understand former gold medallist Simone Biles pulling out of the women's gymnastics, and how the media and influencer spin on the situation is fueling the division. Here's the link to a story with a little background on Sunisa Lee, this year's women's all-around gold medallist:

It's back to the future for news of workplace outbreaks of coronavirus infections. Much like we were talking about a year ago, COVID outbreaks are starting to pick up at offices and job sites across Southern California.At the same time, major corporations are starting to get tough with their COVID vaccine mandates--from Facebook to Netflix, they're ordering employees to get vaccinated or submit to regular testing-----and we'll go In Depth on all of it.Speaking of vaccinated employees, President Biden will make it official today that federal workers must be vaccinated or routinely tested.......and he's calling on some financial incentives to speed up the process.This isn't the type of lawsuit you see every day: superstar actor Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney over its release of her "Black Widow" Marvel movie over streaming; and it might just be the start of this legal fight.A potential Christmas buzzkill is in the works, with predictions for short supplies and high costs for the hot toys on your kids' wish lists.And with all of the attention on Simone Biles this week..........U.S. gymnast Sunisa Lee flew under the radar to take up the individual all-around gold medal.

We are so excited to see all these amazing athletes get out there and compete. They've been working so hard and it is exciting to see it all coming together. Remember, the Juniors need to get a 51 to qualify to National Championships and Senior Elites need a 52. Some of the athletes have already qualified but most have not. Some of the gymnasts discussed in the episode include Konnor McClain, MG Elite (Zoe Gravier and Olivia Greaves), GAGE (Aleah Finnegan, Alexis Jeffrey, Leanne Wong and JaFree Scott), Sunisa Lee, Katelyn Rosen, Sophia Butler, Simone Biles, The Gymcastic Podcast, Olivia Dunne, Jordan Chiles, Ragan Smith, Morgan Hurd, Jade Carey, Ashton Locklear, Riley McCusker, Shilese Jones, Levi Jung-Ruivivar and Hezly Rivera (via a shout out from @gymnast_nateianna).
