417: Bye Bye Tokyo 2020

NO MORE TOKYO 2020 Via the IOC's longest-serving member, Dick Pound, we learned that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics have been postponed. It's been a long year this month, so Jessica has a list of Dick Pound jokes to get us through. It's most of the episode. After that, we discuss Why it was important to postpone Gymnastics implications Should the new 2021 seniors now become eligible for the Olympics? What code of points should be used? How should the unfinished qualification process be resolved? What of the 2021 world championships in Copenhagen? Which athletes are most affected by this, negatively and positively? Plus, McKayla Maroney opens up about the circumstances of her father's death and releases her debut single, a rundown of the dumpster fire news, Bart has an adult gymnastics challenge for you, and Full Out 2 has been released BECOME A CLUB GYM NERD MEMBER Join Club Gym Nerd for access to Behind the Scenes episodes here.
