Watch Auburn gymnast Derrian Gobourne's brother getting down at meet vs. Arkansas
AUBURN — Auburn gymnast Derrian Gobourne closed the Tigers' first home meet of the season against Arkansas on Friday with a floor routine that earned a 9.95. Her brother, however, previewed her performance with some moves of his own in the stands.
The home crowd at Neville Arena loved it, cheering him on along the way. Suni Lee said post-meet that she immediately knew once seeing him on the video board that he was Gobourne's brother. Junior Gabby McLaughlin added: "I loved it. I saw him dancing up there and it made me want to dance."
