Leanne Wong

Two-time U.S. Senior National Team member Leanne Wong, an elite from Great American Gymnastic Express (GAGE), announced her commitment to the University of Florida. Her signing ends months of gymternet guessing and giddiness. Known for her graceful extension, clean lines, and competitive consistency, Wong made it official November 14, 2020, through her Instagram account. 

Wong, coached by Al Fong and Armine Barutyan, had a spectacular 2019 season beginning in March when she won the American Cup. In July and August, she continued her laser focus steadiness, competing in the U.S. Classics, Pan American Games, and the U.S. Championships within weeks. At the Pan American Games, she won team gold and silver on the uneven bars. At the 2019 U.S. National Championships, Wong won bronze on the balance beam. 

In March of this year, Wong was selected to compete at the City of Jesolo Trophy. However, the U.S. declined to send a team due to COVID-19. Despite the long pause in meets, she has continued to upgrade her skills. She recently debuted a “Ray” uneven bar skill, a double-twisting double layout dismount named after U.S. gymnast Elise Ray. 

Florida coach Jenny Rolands said, “Both Leanne's power and grace will be an incredible addition for both the Gators and NCAA gymnastics. We look forward to seeing her dreams and goals of becoming an NCAA champion and doctor come to fruition.”

Wong will join a heavily decorated and accomplished freshman class, including recent commit Sloan Blakely, along with Morgan Hurd and Riley McCusker, signees from last November.

Everyone's standard of what "going viral" exactly means is different these days, but I think it's safe to say that when ESPN, Janet Jackson, Women's Health, Sports Center, BET, Karamo, Oprah Magazine, the LA Times, CNN, Billboard, and countless others repost your routine, you've done it.

Of the four events in gymnastics, floor is always a crowd favorite. Of course it draws attention because of the exciting tumbling and fun choreography, but it’s also fun to hear the music that each athlete selects to compete to. There are so many songs I wish I’d hear more as floor music, but here are just ten of them.

Akash Modi

For many gymnasts, 2020 was the year that signified the end of an Olympic journey and the beginning of a life outside of gymnastics. Before the pandemic hit, Akash Modi was finally coming to terms with being done with the sport he loves for good. After hopefully competing at the 2020 Olympic Games, he planned to be done and move on. That plan obviously came crashing down with the postponement of the games, and at first, Modi wasn’t even sure he would continue.
