HISTORIC FIRST FOR NCAA MEN’S GYMNASTICS

Virtual Becomes Reality PALO ALTO, CA – Today marks the beginning of an NCAA Men’s Gymnastics season like no other. In November, the College Gymnastics Association (CGA) successfully lobbied the NCAA to allow virtual competition to be recognized, and with the pandemic still looming large, the 2020-21 season kicks off with three virtual competitions hosted by Virtius.

“I have been motivated by the urgency to provide an opportunity to compete in 2021 and fortunate to have developed the skills and interest in technology to deliver something timely and modern,” states Ambert Yeung, Founder and CEO. “Today I’m so proud of what my team has created in such a short period of time and are about to share with the world, and very thankful for the support from within the gymnastics community which has pulled Virtius into existence.”
