Since 2015, No. 1 Oklahoma (5-0, 2-0 MPSF) and No. 4 Stanford (4-1, 2-0 MPSF) have finished as two of the best teams in the nation. Together, they have claimed the last five national championships. On Saturday, these two gymnastics titans will face off in Norman in a rematch of the 2019 NCAA Championships, where the Cardinal emerged victorious by less than a point.
A few months after its clutch performance in Illinois, the Cardinal met the Sooners at the Stanford Open, dominating Oklahoma before the COVID-19 pandemic.

No. 2 Stanford men’s gymnastics were shorthanded in its first regular season meet of the 2021 season. Counting at most four routines in four of the six events toppled the Cardinal in a 306.650 – 379.950 loss to No. 16 William & Mary.
Looking to repeat as NCAA champions, head coach Thom Glielmi acknowledged the difficulty his gymnasts had in training but is optimistic about this season.
