First Day of Practice - 2021 UCLA Gymnastics

After an abrupt ending to the 2020 season back in March, the Bruins are excited to finally be back in the gym for the start of the 2021 season.

Whenever someone complains about having to wear a mask to the grocery store, we should just show them this video of people literally doing flips in masks.

[@vivianpham7742]

Even a handstand over a song period of time is exhausting. I am a competitive gymnast and doing skills that are kind of simple is tiring in a mask.

the mask doesnt do anything tho, they sweat the whole time and the body liquids can infect other people....

[@ellehogg8729]

@@flowerfrost8785 research shows that sweat isn’t actually a transmitter, but rather direct contact with items touched by those infected which go un-sanitized.

The best part was seeing them actually care about corona and protecting their teammates

[@curnutteannmarie906]

In my gym we were our masks when we are switching events

[@DW11111]

if by "care about corona" you really mean "swallow the propaganda hook line and sinker and ignore the PCR test has been abused to show an artificially high case load" then yes, I agree with you.

[@TH-eb7ob]

@@DW11111 I agree with all of that, but why would you want to risk making a single person sick? Forget covid for a sec, loads of people (including children) die of the seasonal flu virus. Maybe we should keep our germs to ourselves.

[@speedstackinggurl]

I'm glad they're doing their best with the masks, local sports where I am aren't doing masks at all. I hope they get to have a full wonderful season this year. Excited to see the new girls this year and get to know them :D

Working out, people breathe heavily and the danger of transmission is worse. I think mask is actually a good way to train, like running at a higher altitude and then doing better at regular altitude

[@naileataylor2106]

My thoughts exactly👏🏽 I was a gymnast for 7 years (I quit around 2 years ago) My cousins had come for a visit, so we got our nails done. It was my first time ever, also my last. I’m not even kidding when I say I couldn’t do anything. Can’t even imagine doing Gymnastics with them😭

[@thegutlesswarrior9488]

YAY!! So happy to see the team back up and running... My only concern is the fact that several of the girls are wearing a neck gaiter instead of a mask... I really hope that if the school provided them they got ones that are effective.. ie fabric type(s) and thread counts are high to reduce the spread of respiratory droplets .... I would hate to see any of the girls getting sick =( I know they must be hurting because they lost a significant number of seniors last year and again are missing incoming freshman due to the moving of Tokyo to 2021... I'm routing for them 100000000%!!

[@catkasimir]

You are so stupid! It does not matter if anyone is wearing a gaiter or a mask. All this crap is uneffective when it comes to not spreading a virus. When you buy a pack of masks it says on the packaging, that it does not protect against viruses. Glad to see the student athletes returning, though.

weird question but are they allowed to have long nails for training?? I feel like I would just snap them and chip them off... ouch

[@lizzyxo3085]

i don't think so lol i had medium sized nails and was soo scared to do any tricks especially on vault i thought they were going to snap and i would fall and break my neck lol. i have seen other gymnasts wear long nails i think they would need to be really used to wearing the nails but mainly short nails with nail polish is ideal

One tip, maybe you could have chalk bags that climbers have instead of boxes

boxes are easier to lay your hands flat down and get everything covered

[@lonnellwashere]

They are also on the quarter system so Oct 12. Is week 3 of the quarter

[@debbienpeters]

@@lonnellwashere that wouldn’t matter as quarter schools start practice when semester schools do. My college was semester and most of the other schools in our league, PAC 10, were quarter. Now, pac 12, its more even. Anyway, I had friends at quarter schools who’s football teams would be playing games before their school yr started, which means that practice started at the same time as semester schools.
