Subject: RE: Women's Gymnastic All AroundThey mentioned it on TV, but I do think it is neat and representative of the US (and this doesn't have to do with anyone else or comparing...just representative of who we are as a nation ) that our All-Around champion was born in Moscow, grew up as a Texan, coached in TX by her Russian dad/previous gymnasts for Russia, and our Silver Medalists is Iowa born and coached by a former Chinese gymnasts who came to the US and opened his own gym! I think it's great and shows how so many different backgrounds can find an American dream if they work hard for it. |
