You Don't Mean Peaches, Do You? A Gymnast's Guide to Georgia Geography
Let's face it, gymnastics is a sport that demands precision. You wouldn't want to miss a landing because you were confused about which Georgia you were competing in, would you? (Although, a perfectly executed vault onto a giant peach might be pretty impressive...)
Fear not, fellow tumblers! This definitive guide will have you nailing your regional routines with the grace of a Simone Biles dismount.

The Peach State vs. The Uneven Bars State: A Tale of Two Georgias
There are actually two Georgias in the world, folks. One is famous for its peaches, barbeque, and the ever-charming "Bless your heart." The other? Well, it's also pretty charming, but in a leotard-and-chalk kind of way.
Georgia the Country: Nope, not relevant to gymnastics. This Georgia is nestled way over in Eastern Europe. While they might have some amazing gymnasts too, we're focusing on the American side of things today.
Georgia the State: Bingo! This is the Georgia you'll find on the map (and hopefully, winning all the regional competitions). The state of Georgia is part of USA Gymnastics Region 8, which also includes Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
So, the next time someone asks where your gymnastics team is from, you can confidently say "The Georgia with all the flips, not the one with all the pits!"
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
Don't Get Lost in Regional Rotation!
Remember, there are eight regions in USA Gymnastics. Here's a handy trick to remember which region Georgia belongs to:
- Think of the eight regions as slices of a giant pizza (because, let's be honest, pizza is always a good idea).
- Georgia is chilling out in a slice with its fellow Southern gymnasts.
Easy, right? Now you can focus on sticking those landings and winning gold!
