I believe the meet is on BTN+ Friday and BTN Saturday.

Stanford has been really inconsistent. Lack of summer training (and for some lack of fall training) is the likely culprit. My info is that the Stanford and Cal team members had a lot more difficulty getting access to practice facilities than the teams in the midwest, which basically trained in their home facilities without restrictions. 

This is likely to be very close among Stanford, Michigan and Oklahoma.

Gymnastics isn't a contact sport, so I don't think it was impacted by the orders regarding contact sports.  Is the lack of training due to the fact that Stanford was not open?  But aren't all NCAA athletes limited in what they can do with their school teams except during their season?   Athletes  train mostly year around, but it is not with their schools in the summer.

Gymnastics training is year round. In a normal year the Stanford gym is open all summer and available to anyone on the team who is in town. The assistant coaches seem to be able to supervise in the summer - I guess the NCAA considers them to be "strength coaches." On most NCAA teams the assistant coaches do all the real coaching anyway. At most schools there is a "club" team and team members are expected to be there all summer to train. Official practices begin at the start of first quarter (or first semester at other schools). The gym was not open at all in the summer last year. The team could not get into the gym until late first quarter. Remember, gyms were closed and SCC did not let Stanford open up for training for many sports when fall quarter began. In fact, state wide, no gym was supposed to be open. The women's gymnastics team was training outdoors for quite a while (in the football stadium concourse I believe). Most of the men were training on their own in remote locations. I know Riley Loos had full access to a gym near home - per the inside info I have. (My son had access as well - not that he was supposed to. He had a key to a facility here in the Bay Area. He decided to stay home and not compete this year. His school was not open for in person classes this year so he didn't want to sit around in Chicago without access to a gym half the year.) Some others on the team had minimal or no access until winter quarter. Some guys with a lot of money set up elaborate home gyms in their family garages. I saw some crazy photos.
