By Elizabeth Grimsley, Christina Marmet and Caroline Medley Continuing with the throwback leotard theme, this week we’re taking a look back at the fashion at the 2012 national championship event finals. While the designs were similar to what we see today, there were a LOT fewer sparkles. Thanks to Allie for suggesting the meet!
The criteria is the same as during the season. But to refresh your memory: up to three points for design; two points for fabric, sparkle, etc.; and two points for school spirit; three points for overall appearance. But we want to know your thoughts too! Make sure to vote in our poll at the bottom of the page.

By Emily Howell-Forbes Today’s post is all about those rare gymnasts who have managed to perform consistently on beam. It is fairly common in both J.O. and NCAA competition for competitors to have several falls over the course of a season, which results in their overall average being pulled down. Gymnasts who have completed their level 10 season with an average of 9.4 or above have generally had fewer than two falls over the course of the season.
By Emily Howell-Forbes We’re back today with the top 10 bar routines from the incoming freshmen. Putting up six consistent high scoring routines can be a struggle for many teams. These freshmen routines have scored consistently well and several are headed to schools that struggled on bars in 2017. Because the requirements for J.O. are different than those in NCAA, there are a few routines that will need to be upgraded or reconstructed to be considered “up to level” in NCAA.
By Christina Marmet, Elizabeth Grimsley and Caroline Medley Since we certainly loved judging leos every week, we decided to keep it going during the off season by looking back at some throwback competitions and what the fashion choices looked like back then. With the recent comeback of Courtney Kupets and Suzanne Yoculan at Georgia, what better meet to start with than their last official one in 2009 before retirement?!

There were so many good pink leos this season that we couldn’t fit them all in one post! So rather than an extremely long post, or leaving out good leos, we decided to treat you to another round of pink leo judging! The criteria is the same as normal meets except school spirit is replaced by pink meet spirit. And to refresh your memory on the other criteria: up to three points for design; two points for fabric, sparkle, etc.; and two points for spirit; three points for overall appearance. After assigning points to each category, we’ll tally up the scores and average them with the previous week’s. So by the end of the season, we’ll know for sure which team has the best leotards (according to us) and which teams not so much. We want to know what you thought too (or if we forgot one of your favorites from this weekend)! Let us know in the comments below or on Twitter. And make sure to vote in our poll at the bottom of the page to make your opinion heard in the fan vote, new this season.
