As usual some of the other Gymnastics Bloggers and news outlets have done a fantastic job in covering the news from around the world over the weekend.

Let’s face it MIOBI has always been just a tad unrealistic, from Paysons speedy broken back recovery, to late night training at the Rock and to gymnasts competing a vault …
