As the LSU Tigers gymnastics team took the stage in the second round of the NCAA women’s gymnastics regionals, all eyes were on them. After a dominating season, the Tigers were the highest seed moving into the NCAA season, making their performance highly anticipated. And they did not disappoint.

Posting a total score of 197.80, LSU secured the gold podium, outperforming BYU, Oregon State, and No. 15 Minnesota. The team, led by gymnasts like Haleigh Bryant, Olivia Dunne, and Kiya Johnson, wowed the audience with their flawless routines. However, the event took an unexpected turn when head coach Jay Clark was shown a yellow card during the bar routine.

The yellow card, a warning for violating Collegiate Coach Conduct, stirred up the NCAA gymnastics world. While the exact reason for the warning was not confirmed, speculations ranged from poor sportsmanship to objecting to a score or using profanity. Despite this setback, the LSU gymnasts continued to deliver exceptional performances.

In the floor routines, every gymnast scored no less than 9.90, showcasing their skill and precision. Even though there were some lower scores in the bar rotation, the team rallied and finished on top. Coach Clark expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, but the shadow of the yellow card loomed over their victory.

Fans took to social media to express their opinions on the incident, with some defending Coach Clark and others questioning the judges’ decisions. The overwhelming support for the LSU Tigers and their coach suggests that they may have faced unfair assessments during the competition.

As the internet buzzes with discussions about NCAA gymnastics judging, one thing is clear – the LSU Tigers have once again proven their prowess on the mat, despite facing challenges along the way. With their eyes set on the upcoming Olympic Games, the Tigers are ready to continue their winning streak and make their mark on the gymnastics world.
