  • China wins the first-ever Mixed Team American Cup using the new LA28 Olympic formatβ€”and the result might reveal a major flaw in the event design.

    We break down how the three-round elimination format worked, why some teams advanced despite falls, and what strategies teams used when choosing apparatus.

    Plus, data analyst and figure skating official Dr. Elliot Schwartz joins the show to explain the strategy behind the format, whether teams should be allowed to change lineups mid-competition, and what gymnastics could learn from figure skating's scoring system and judging transparency.
