From Level Ones to Senior Elites, all gymnasts face the required turn on beam. While this has some gymnasts spinning out of control, we'd like to take a moment to applaud those whose turning skills are on point. This week we highlight six gymnasts and seven unique turns that have us all in a twist! Gymnasts play to their strengths, and Alexis Vasquez of Chow's Gymnastics displays her incredible flexibility with a flawless needle turn. Nose to her knee, Vasquez proves that full turns are worthy of attention. Fingers crossed she competes th...
A fight to the finish, we are ready to announce our winner of this year's Loveliest Leo! With an overwhelming majority, Arkansas takes the crown with their spirited "mullet" leo! Arkansas unveiled this leo in the 2013 post-season, but to the Gymbacks it is so much more than a piece of clothing. Katherine Grable of Arkansas on floor. Photo by Erin Long. When debating a design for the 2013 post season leotard, Arkansas Co-Head Coach Renee Lyst relied heavily on the team's input. The team quickly established the basic design of clean l...

Bronze medalist at the Sydney Olympic Games, UCLA National Champ, and USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame inductee, Kristen Maloney has a lot to be proud of in her gymnastics career. This Thursday from 12PM-1PM, Gymnastike will be handing over our Twitter Feed to Kristen Maloney where she will answer YOUR questions. But before we pass Maloney onto you, we had a few questions of our own. We recently caught up with Kristen Maloney to discuss her inducti...
A gymnast in the Big 10 Conference that I've respected the past four years, but had never been able to photograph until recently, is Alina Weinstein. In her college gymnastics career, Alina has been a rock for the Fighting Illini. In 2010 I saw Alina Weintein’s gymnastics for the first time and I knew I was watching a future team leader, even though at the time she only competed on bars and exhibitioned on other events. After her freshman year, she just seemed to get stronger, more reliable, and was consistently in the lineup as an...
Although only a year after the 2012 Olympic Trials in San Jose, the women's senior elite competition playing field proves full of changes. Out of the fifteen athletes who competed in last year's Olympic selection process, only seven are slated to compete at the U.S. Classic so far. Before introducing the new crop of talented young gymnasts eagerly training for the elite competition season, let's take a look back at those competitors who graced the San Jose Arena July 1st, what they accomplished, how their lives changed since the selection proc...
We've gone through the glitter, we've sorted the spandex, and we've narrowed down our favorite leotards of the 2013 NCAA season! Now we need your help in selecting which suit gets the crown as 2013 leotard of year! Take a look at your contenders. We love a leotard that shouts team pride, and this crimson Alabama leo does just that.

This Bama leo get...

One of my favorite athletes to photograph is Crimson Tide all-around gymnast Kim Jacob. Kim is petite and elegant, yet deceptively powerful. When photographing Kim, I like to experiment with different lenses and camera settings to try to capture both the portrait-type poses in her choreography and her explosive gymnastics elements. Kim's look is simple and understated - and that's the beauty of it. She has a natural girl-next-door look with straight hair and bangs that compliments her facial structure. If I were doing a photo shoot for r...

As gymnasts, we are taught at a very young age to get back up after a fall and keep going! As humans, it is natural to fall and get discouraged, and commonly, even to quit. Gymnastics is a tough sport. There is definitely a lot of room to fall on a daily basis. At practice, we are even taught how to fall properly. I remember while learning a Jaeger, getting yelled at over and over because I would put my elbows under me on the big cushy mat that would catch me. I was told to purposely not re-catch the bar and fall with my arms in front of me. I...

Ok, I’ll admit it. I didn’t think there was any way LSU could beat Florida. Seriously, Florida has 2008 Olympian/2009 World Champion BRIDGET SLOAN for crying out loud. They have KYTRA!! MACKO and ALAINA are on their team!! After last year’s close call, many believe this is finally the year the Gators will break through and win the NCAA championship. Last Friday night (11-Jan-2013) at the Maravich Center, as the teams warmed up, I admit I almost exclusively focused on Florida. I couldn’t help it. Don’t get me wrong...

The Penn State Nittany Lions women’s gymnastics team performed impressively at the 2nd annual Blue White Showcase last Friday, December 14th in Rec Hall. PSU’s top all-around gymnast, senior Sharaya Musser, who has qualified to the National Championships each year since 2010, looked in shape and ready for the regular season. On vault, she performed her new Yurchenko one-and-a-half. The vault was clean and tight in the air, and the landing was under control with only one minor step. If Musser plans to throw that vault at Nationals an...
