      makes you want to cry for them especially knowing the politicization of health care, fraud, misinformation, and robbery of time and energy. Even now, kids are being robbed of education, opportunities and futures and the lack of leadership and criminal conduct of those in power.

      This was also before it was confirmed that she was doing a 5th year at another college. So they thought it was he last chance ever to compete

    The 2021 rankings are out and the Bruins start 2021 at #7. When you lose 9 seniors, two Olympic gold medal winners. But the Bruins reload with the #1 signing class for 2022. Looking forward to the new season and praying for the students athletics safety and opportunities and to be in Pauley on alumni day and wish the 2020 seniors the best. Continue to pray for Mercedes who is at SJS and her family for the loss of Baby Liam. Go Bruins. Oh, Nia, another viral routine.

    “created and produced by (the one and only: THEEEE) Deanna Hong”.
    Thank you for this. The whole series was amazing, a bunch of emotions. thank you for bring to us this inside vision of the team. By far this was my favorite episode because no matter what there are always a good time to have a dance party.
    Also, how lucky we are to see Mercedez have their chance to compete, now with sjsu and see gracie’s coaching at usu. Same with fish and Kyla.
    Best of luck for all the seniors, you did amazing the past 4/5 years.
    See you (hopefully) in January Bruins!

    2020 has been really hard on everyone globally, and Deanna did a fantastic job chronicling the entire journey through all 7 episodes. The way you girls and the entire team pull through this year together speaks volume of your characters and why UCLA Bruins are true Champions! I have been following the UCLA Bruins since 2018 by accident and have rooted for you since the awesome clutch win with Peng Peng Lee’s iconic final beam. Was looking forward to celebrating Kyla’s and Kocian’s final year, but life is such... we get knocked down but we get up and we get going! You girls are truly an inspiration to all! Keep it up and stay strong wherever you are!

    Deanna outdid herself on this one. It was a emotional roller coaster from the gate. How do you put an end to a docuseries about a season that ended the way it did? This is how.
    If the first 5 minutes stirred you at all than you should really consider getting tested...these kids deserve every chance to survive cancer and you may be a match for some little boy or little girl out there.

    American athletes are too big for gymnasts. Have you heard about the sports diet? In America, do they know about sports genetic selection of those who are fit for sports? Why do American coaches take girls unsuitable for gymnastics? And why don't they put the genetically ill to sleep in America? Do they know about genetics in America? Do you understand that by keeping the sick alive you are constantly increasing the number of patients in the country?
