Jessica, Emma and Bea chat about:

• The rules for pre-floor routine walk out choreography; our dos and don'ts.


• Laura Jurica (ROM) has made progress on bars.


• If there were gymnastics-satyr made of Mustafin's arms and Shawn Johnson's power, it would be little Russian power house, Seda Tutkhalyan.


• The throwback Pozar-esque folk dance floor from new senior Anastasia Dimitrieva (RUS).


• The triple full from Zarzu (ROM) that looked as easy as a playground cartwheel.


• An update on training for comeback masters, Catalina Ponor and Dragulescu.


• Brazilian babies, Rebeca Andrade and Flavia Saraiva put the world on notice at the Flanders International.


• Nastia got engaged and announced the founding of The Shine Agency, but questions about what Shine will actually do still remain.


• Douglas Family Gold will air on Oprah's Oxygen channel later this year, and Emma has many concerns!


• A listeners discovers that Paul Ruggeri predicted the future of Olympic qualifying on this very show in 2012.
