I avoid montages with giant copyright tags on their video like the plague, I think it’s tacky and unnecessary - especially since this footage was jacked from another website and it is NOT theirs. But it’s a good montage and, as usual, I will immediately forget any of my self-righteous internet gym geekery morals if I really like the song + editing.

- An oldie but goodie. I picked this one so that it would be understood who I’m rooting for at Nationals. :)
Random observation (i.e. please ignore) - but since when has it become acceptable to refer to the National Championships as “Visas”? It’s Nationals, bitches! Or Championships. Or Nats, even.
What if Tampax decides to sponsor Nationals? I mean look what happened the US Classic (I will never call it the Cover Girl Classic, even if they sponsor the event for the next 20 years).
“Hometown Glory” by The Gym Effect. Beautiful song and great subject (2008 Olympic Trials), I’m not a huge fan of special effects for gymnastics montages, but I love the way it’s done here.
