In this episode of Double Back with Kentiemac, host Kent and expert commentator Dr. Sam dive deep into their fourth annual Florida vs. Alabama meet, which was held late in the season. They offer detailed critiques of individual performances, highlight notable moments, and discuss lineup strategies. The conversation also touches on judging inconsistencies, especially in beam routines, and the unique physical and mental challenges faced by gymnasts. As they cover standout routines and athlete developments, the duo also speculates on upcoming regional seeding and postseason expectations.
