So judges can’t tell so easily what team a girl belongs to and thus give a more UNBIASED score! Thoughts?

Agreed. But this could have definitely just been posted under the stickied gymnastics thread at the top.

They should perform naked.

Don't kid yourselves, these judges know exactly who a lot of these kids are and have watched for years, a lot of times before they even attended college.

One of the greatest issues at the NCAA level is the "star athletes"

Basically the big time names known from the elite world have a tendency to receive a lot of pretty generous scores compared to people not really known.

Gymnastics used to be competed in full nude, but women didn't compete back then

Gymnasts are tremendous athletes but any competition requiring subjective scoring is not a true sport IMHO. Winning and losing in sport should not be the result of interpretation.

The Olympics, both in figure skating and gymnastics, has proven judges are often biased.

Mixing up gymnastics with wrestling?

No the first form of gymnastics was done in nude

In ancient Greece, there were a couple reasons for it but pretty sure one of them was for tribute to the gods.
