IT'S THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES IN AN ALL NEW EPISODE OF "MAKE IT OR BREAK IT," PREMIERING TUESDAY, JULY 13 ON ABC FAMILY

When the men's Olympic champion, Austin Tucker, begins temporary training at the Rock, egos clash when he tries to move the girls' equipment. To settle the matter between the male and female athletes, Sasha decides the two must compete for gym space, but there is a catch - the girls must perform on the men's apparatuses and vice versa. With Payson unsure about her future in the gymnastics world, Kaylie, Emily and Lauren are forced to face the men on their own. Will they be able to beat the boys and have the gym they made famous remain theirs? And will Payson choose to fight for her dream or leave the sport that destroyed her, forever?
