Today, I am introducing a new segment to CG called…..The Best of the Gymternet! Yes, you guessed it. So in this segment I will be scouring the greatness of Twitter to search for the funniest, coolest and weirdest things that have been going on across the Gymternet this wek! This is not going to be an easy task. Please sit back, relax and have a giggle!
Danusia Francis loves her nails!
We start our weekly round-up in the sunny city of Los Angeles where we can find the LA Dodgers, Disneyland and Danusia Francis thinking about how long her nails have gotten. Wait, what??? Yes, she obviously prefers to study her nail length in class than her academics and frankly Nush, we don’t blame you!

The way to Sophina’s heart is through cake!

When your qualifications don’t really translate!
Gymternet legend and snark superstar, Bekah, reminds us just how upsetting it is when your gymnastics qualifications just don’t measure up to the standards of employers.
I hate when my references are too obscure for public consumption. “So and so has the best pique turns since @BrileyCasanova.” Lol — Bekah (@GetAGripGym) May 3, 2015
