This episode has been commissioned by Club Gym Nerd member Kerry, who requested an episode all about the 1993 NCAA Nationals, saying “This was the first NCAAs I ever watched as a kid growing up in Georgia, so this obviously got me hooked!”

Setting the scene – what was college gymnastics like in the ancient year of 1993? A new format called “Super Six” was taking the college gymnastics world by storm Bonkers scoring and unrealistic 10s dominated the conversation (we wouldn’t know anything about that)

The competition – watch along with us HERE . Press play when Jessica tells you The Great Marsden Billboard Incident of ’93 We get distracted by the extremely 1993 fashions for a while Jessica is not having these pirouettes But seriously the fashion, you guys Agina Simpkins is the best thing ever to happen I MEAN THESE CLOTHES Dee Foster’s vault still holds up today Greg Marsden hates the format (Shocked, I tell you!) LONG LIVE GYM ACRO SERIES Hope Spivey-Sheely puts everyone else’s difficulty to shame The legend that is Jenny Hansen Questions about the Georgia All-American murals Stanning Dana Duckworth Georgia, Georgia, Georgia, Georgia

Post-competition discussion Whose personal style best encapsulated the year 1993? What could the 2019 NCAA code learn from the 1993 code? What did we see in 1993 that you are SO GLAD is gone? IN THE NEWS
