We talk about: the two new gymnastics reality shows in the works, Victoria Komovareturning to training (or playing?) after a serious case of meningitis, the Kohei Uchimura interview on team gold for Rio, Aimee Boorman's interview after becoming the first ever female American head coach of an all-around World Champion, Simone Biles; Rodionenko's complaints about Aliya Mustafina being called for "equipment testing", a skill table for gymnastics like diving has, Philipp Boy's latest ovulation inducing photo and Nelli Kim's claims that she is being slandered by Russia's top gymnasts.

In our Worlds Wrap Up, Uncle Tim identifies trends in scoring and tells us if Execution or Difficulty reigned supreme. Then it's favorites, worsts, wedgie solutions, where the judges got it wrong, the hottest coaches and athletes, the routines that make Jenny and Jess feel funny and what the Code of Points and the International Gymnastics Federation are doing right and what rules still need to be changed.
