COLUMBIA, Mo. — Is there a sports term for a doubleheader that isn’t really a doubleheader because the two events are happening simultaneously?
That’s what will be taking place inside Mizzou Arena on Friday when Missouri gymnastics and wrestling programs will compete simultaneously in the return of the school’s “Beauty and the Beast” event. The showcase last happened in 2019.
“We’ve had it a bunch of times, and I get driven crazy by people in the neighborhood and the community: ‘When’re we doing it again? When are we doing it again?’ ” wrestling coach Brian Smith said.
