Greatly helpful! Thanks for this!

Great video ty

China and Japan are always top 3. This year the Chinese made mistakes and basically beaten themselves but thats all part of this sport. With Russia being banned USA finally made it top 3

Great info 💪

A great listen especially after watching the qualifications and the differences from both mine and your predictions! Some very surprising results I must say!

Great vid. Would have been useful a few days earlier though! Also speak a little bit slower

If you hold a ring strength position for 1.9 seconds do you get the score for it with a big deduction or do you not get the score for it at all ?

Is an arabian a forward or backwards element

I really enjoyed hearing your take on the American team and the comparison to the results of the GB team.

Great episode, Sam, and Hamish was a great guest. GB men gave too much away as a 3-up, 3-to-count team on high bar, rings and p-bars to make that step up to the podium. But TBF the team was picked for individual medal chances rather than a team medal, so there were in-built weaknesses on those pieces - the fact that they came 4th is a credit to how well those specialists hit. Re: in-bars (stoop) Tkatchevs on high bar you talked about recently: I can't think of any current MAG who does one, but the Heath Thorpe - the beautiful Australian gymnast who just missed out on qualifying for Paris - is an excellent high bar worker & does in-bar stalders, and with his flexibility has potential to do one. I guess whether he does or not will come down to what value FIG would give it.

I really dislike the BBC commentary, and wish they'd bring folks with current gymnastics knowledge on both MAG and WAG (and have the courtesy to bother learning how to pronounce every gymnast's name correctly!). Olly Hogben is a big gymternet favourite around the world: he currently commentates for FIG, OBC & Eurosport, and did some of the MAG + WAG quals in Paris with the Canadian Blythe Lawrence (an equally-excellent commentator).

I wish there were more than 3 medals-being top 5 in the world is always fantastic, but teams get overlooked if they don’t medal.

Sam were you surprised by how team finals played out-down to the final rotation?

American here... honestly, foster care is probably more common here because we don't have a national health care system. Kids are commonly taken from their parents due to addiction issues or other untreated mental illness. Adoption is a somewhat different issue. Infertility is a big factor for couples, and sometimes single parents adopt internationally (isn't that Morgan Hurd's story?). And Yul was adopted too, wasn't he? And Kara Eaker!

I love your podcast! What a great mix of technical commentary and personal insight. :) As you predicted... lots of shake-ups during qualifications! High bar is a huge question mark now.

Let’s go

Thanks for doing this interview, Sam, and letting Jay share his truth. I remember him as such a beautiful, elegant junior, and it was sad that he never got chance to share on that on the world stage where it deserved to be seen.

WHO CAN ORGANISE A MMA FIGHT ON GYMNASTIC FLOOR TO SEE SOME NEW SKILL ?

Kelly, please join forces with Sophie Scheder to get that release named after you - you both so deserve it! A lovely interview of mutual sharing the immediate post-retirement challenges. PS. the Simon Biles documentary is fantastic - fascinating, and really really well-made.

I’m Tommy you came to my school you got to work on your landing and movement your very talented

I don’t know that 10 minutes would be enough for me to calm down if I were in Wiskus’s shoes (socks?)

love hearing all your insight Sam thanks for sharing it with us!

Regarding the Canadian Jrs, they have a good bunch, some of which will be moving into Next Gen Sr next yar. Connor Fielding is fairly strong on floor and Vault and can 3rd at U18 nationals this year. Sam Rakita won the U18 and is a fairly good fx, pb and hb worker as well as solid aa. They also have a Jr Pommel specialist- Jordan Carrol, who although didn't have a good nationals, he won the JrPanAm Champs with a 13.7/8. Thomas Tittley won the U16 with a 78 and seems like one who will have a good career and Jack Stargratt Sweeny is good on fx, vt, and pb( he was injured this season but can expect him to do well in U18 next yr and have a good career)

Hey Sam, Thank you so much for having Kensley back on the podcast! Her knowledge and passion for MAG is top notch! ❤

After the first day of Trials, I wore earplugs the rest of the time. The stadium atmosphere was insanely charged and excited (and loud!).

GOOO SAM!!! Looking great and can't wait to follow along on this adventure!

You look like your having so much fun being back This is where you belong Thank you for posting this and keep it up

Oh my, I miss this content and seeing you vlogging your gymnastics/fitness. Your training videos were very motivational through my gymnastic days in university. Much love from New Jersey 🇺🇸 and hope to see more like this.

Good luck. Would u ever do a senior comp…be fun watching your visual content.

Reiss posted again, you came back too, now we just need Bram to come back from the dead. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

A surprise to be sure... But a welcome one.

I am happy to see you back, It's sad when people have girlfriends and kids, and now nothing matters, you are too young to have such an old soul, but I am here for you. Handsome man.

I agree! Also a fan of both Misha and Sam

Hey Sam. You should connect with Misha Koudinov for the pegan journey. A legend of those style of elements and currently posts weekly updates on RUclips. Also you were wearing a NZ kit in the video which made me think of the connection. I also remember you shitting on his gatson from Healy connection way back on your old 'MrDaisyNukes' alias so would be good to repair broken bridges aha 😂. Thanks for a great video from a long time fan!

This is quality mate, looking forwards to watching this journey!

Your splits looked pretty painless for 31, nice job Sam. Looking forward to seeing your more relaxed approach to training as a 27yo myself

Pegan 😵‍💫 that’s crazy

Really liked this podacast. Really felt sorry for Jay and what he went through and I'm sure he isn't alone. I think that an episode where you do an in-depth review on all 12 teams would be really nice to actually see how all teams are looking and line-up predictions.

Not trying to call Jay out but my immediate thought is maybe if he had done more fast track he might have prevented the Achilles tear or maybe prolonged the tear. Instead of getting right on to floor training.

Also find it absolutely hilarious how unfazed Sam was when jay was describing his elbow injury 😂

I absolutely love these conversations about growing up as a gymnast and also going through the elite program. Such amazing people. As a coach it gives me a ton of insight on how to Improve as a coach and make those connections with my athletes

Always love(d) Jay, missed meeting him in person by about 5 minutes TWICE (London and Gold Coast). Great episode, thanks to both of you for sharing!

He came to my school

Same

Hi Sam

Hi Sam you came to my school today

i used to compete against Jay around 2004 lol i competed for torbay olympic gymnastics club - he used to win every competition by miles lol. I now train as an adult at Exeter. Great pod. Great bloke.

A true legend

Very Good Podcast. Health should always be the prior thing to think. If you love the sport you're doing think about being able to do it in the future. Science has prooved that too much loads of training do more damage than progress. Loads should (or have to) be monitored for athletes of any level. And when damages appear surgery and and a well managed rehab is the best thing to do. Take care of you Sam.

Please try and get Sam Mikulak on a podcast
