104: Gabby Missing In Action and USA Championships

Diana Tatevossian, Donna Tatevossian, Alexandria Alaman perform at USA Championships in the sport of Acrobatic Gymnastics (formerly Sports Acro).   In the news, Jessica, Uncle Tim and Elizabeth Grimsely chat about: The fashion, safety, random whistling sounds, top 40 music and insane skills from the Trampoline, Double Mini, Rhythmic, Tumbling and Acrobatic Championships Can Duckworth fill Sarah Patterson's heels as she retires after 36 years at the University of Alabama Gabby Douglas leaves Chow’s again - where should she go now? Jessica gives us an elaborate plan for Gabby while Uncle Tim speculates about the business end of things. Then we answer your questions about men's age limits - why did Kenzo become a world champ at 17? Do pro gymnasts delay official retirement to milk endorsements? Or are they just keeping their options open? CALLING AWESOME TYPISTS!
