Simone Makes History Again!

, , , ,

Simone Biles keeps surprising the gymnastics world with new feats.  She just keeps getting better!  This weekend she won her 6th US National title and revealed two new skills that have never been done before.  When I watched her beam routine on night one, I literally said “wow” after her dismount.  I still can’t believe she did a double twisting double back off of the beam.  Insane!  Then night two she hit triple twisting double back on floor exercise.  She makes it look so easy, it is hard to actually count out three twists and two flips.  See history for yourself!

2019 NCAA Championships

, ,

I was definitely a super fan at the NCAA’s this past weekend. I decided this past Winter that I wanted to see Katelyn Ohashi’s floor routine live in person. UCLA doesn’t have any meets close to where I live so I ended up buying a plane ticket to Fort Worth! Forth Worth, TX is such a cool place by the way! I also wanted to see Coach Val’s last meet as the UCLA Head Coach. Being at the NCAA’s was a very fun experience that I recommend to anyone. Seeing the top four teams in the country compete in the same arena is a cool thing to witness. I was rooting for UCLA but Oklahoma had so many stuck landings that the rest of the field just couldn’t catch them. Seeing these athletes compete live was everything that I had hoped it would be. I was also excited to see some of the gymnasts and coaches along with other former gymnasts walking around the city or at the hotel. It was cool to see some of my idols from when I was competing at this event. I would definitely go again!

Floor Routine Spotlight- Katelyn Ohashi

, , , ,

Everybody is losing their minds over Katelyn Ohashi’s new floor routine.  She has been scoring perfect 10’s and has made national news.  She is such a positive role model for this sport and for any athlete out there. She has openly talked about finding love for the sport of gymnastics again in college and the support she has had from her current coaches.  Her routine has so much sass and she really shows off her dancing skills throughout this routine.  Not to mention her tumbling… wow!! I can watch this video over and over again.  I look forward to watching her throughout the season!  I am planning on going to the NCAA’s in April! Check it out here!

Sam Mikulak Gets His World Medal

, , ,

Sam Mikulak finally did it!

I have been following the results of the 2018 Gymnastics World Championships this week and I was so happy to see Sam Mikulak come away from these World Championships with the bronze medal on the High Bar.  He has been a leader for the US Men for several years both as a member of two Olympic teams but also on the collegiate level.  He has always been the favored member of team USA to medal at an international competition such as the World Championships or Olympic games.  Unfortunately it hasn’t worked out as planned and I am glad to see him still competing and working harder than ever to be the best he can be and come away with some hardware.  Sam is very fun to watch. He flies high on the high bar and has a very impressive routine on the parallel bars. Things seem to be lining up just right for him and I hope he can continue to be a member of this US team.  His experience and positive attitude will continue to drive the men’s team to improve and be ready for the future.  It would be fantastic to see him at a third Olympics in 2020.

Check out Sam’s amazing routine on the high bar.

Check out Sam’s impressive Parallel Bars routine here!

Check out Sam Mikulak’s interview after his final day of competition here!

It is awesome to see how excited he was to win this medal.  It was clearly a long week for him and after having a disappointing finish of fifth place in the All-Around, Sam talks about the redemption he had on the last event in the meet, the High Bar event final.  The fact that he wants to strive to win more medals in the future shows that he could be a powerhouse in this sport.

2018 World Championships

, , ,

The US Women proved once again that they are dominant in the gymnastics world. It is great to have Simone Biles back in action but I was also happy to see Morgan Hurd return as a member of this World team again this year. The US women won the team final by over eight points which is unheard of.  Even crazier, Simone competed with a kidney stone and walked away with medals on every event. I couldn’t believe it when I saw her instagram post of her at the hospital.  I thought she was going to be out of the meet but she proved how tough she is. Simone now has 20 World Championship medals and is the only four time All-Around World Champion.  The exciting highlight of these Worlds is that the US team had two All-Around world champions on their team this year. Morgan Hurd won the All-Around event last year and proved to still be one of the best in this sport.  The US Women also secured their qualifying spot to the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo at this competition.

Simone and Morgan also went 1, 2 on the podium for the Floor Exercise event.  Check out their stellar performances.

Morgan Hurd Floor Exercise: I love how dramatic Morgan is in her performance. Her lines are gorgeous and she has powerful tumbling. Her choreography really fits her style and shows off her grace. Although she is fierce during her routine, she has a smile when she finishes her awesome performance.

Simone Biles Floor Exercise:  What is there not to love about Simone’s floor exercise performance. She tumbles through the roof and looks like she is having so much fun.  Her smile lights up the arena.  She is fun to watch.  Her choreography is super cute. I get goosebumps hearing the crowd cheer for her.

Congratulations Ladies!

Laurie Hernandez Book Review

, , , ,

Laurie Hernandez is one of my favorite gymnasts of all time.  Her sassy and vibrant personality jumps out of the TV when you are watching her.  I was excited to read her book and find out more about her story.

I love Laurie’s book!  She brings a young, bubbly perspective to the process of becoming an olympic athlete.  It is very clear that Laurie was not an underdog. She had a much faster rise to fame and peaked right before the Olympic Games.  Timing is everything. I didn’t really know much about Laurie prior to Summer of 2016 so it was nice to find out what she went through to get to her level of gymnastics. Laurie did not start competing with the Senior Elites until 2016.  She did not have as much experience as some of the other Senior Elites but that didn’t stop her.

Laurie shines brightest on the Floor Exercise event.  She proves that it is not just about tumbling. Dance is so important in a gymnastics routine and she shows it better than anyone I have ever seen.  I love watching her perform on floor. She has received the nickname “The Human Emoji” and you can clearly see why. Laurie has has so much attitude and makes sure to show off every move in her routine.  Check out her amazing floor routine!!

Performances like this one helped the US Women’s Gymnastics team win the Gold medal and it also landed her a spot on the show “Dancing With The Stars”.  How cool! I love that Laurie talks a lot about the exciting things that happened following the Olympics. Her perspective is fun to read!

You also should follow Laurie Hernandez on Instagram.  She always brightens my day! Check out Laurie’s book and did you know that she also has a children’s book?  This girl is awesome!

Laurie also announced that she was back in the gym training for a comeback!  I can’t wait to see her in competition again. She is so fun to watch.

Fierce

, , , ,

Last winter I had some down time to sit and read Aly Raisman’s book “Fierce” and I loved it!  Aly laid it all out there for her fans and I am glad that she shared her story so openly. Aly Raisman started appearing on the radar as a contender for the 2012 Olympic team as an underdog.  She was a fantastic gymnast but wasn’t the best in the nation or the world leading up to the Olympics. I was very happy to see her make the team because she was one of my favorites. She really peaked at the perfect time and showed the world that she was no longer the underdog once at the Olympics.  She emerged as the team leader and helped the US Women’s Gymnastics team win Gold as the anchor on the floor exercise and it was such a magical moment watching her seal the deal. Another amazing moment from those games was when Aly performed her stellar routine at the Floor Exercise Individual Final and brought home another Gold medal.

You can clearly see in Aly’s book that it wasn’t easy for her to reach her goal.  She had a lot of challenges and pushed through and is a true fighter. I really love how Aly talks about many different aspects to being an elite athlete and the sacrifices you go through to achieve your dreams.  She even brings up the fact that a lot of moments when she was feeling tired or was having issues with aches and pains was resulted from her diet. She details what she did to help her get back into competition ready shape for her comeback leading up to the 2016 Olympic Games.  What a comeback it was. Aly came back better than ever and led the team to another Gold medal. She also impressed in the All-Around competition bringing home the silver medal after just missing the podium at the 2012 games. It was fun watching her again.

 

I think Aly Raisman is a great role model for young girls and I recommend this book whether you are a gymnast or just a fan of Aly. Aly is a big advocate for self care which is something we all need more of in our lives.  It is important to work hard, but you also need to make time to pamper yourself a little bit and enjoy life.

 

Thank you Aly for sharing your story! Check it out!

Simone is Back!

, , ,

Is it be possible that Simone Biles can be any better than she was in 2016?

I was blown away when I watched Simone compete at the US Nationals this summer.  She is better than she was in Rio which is insane. I love how humble of a person she is.  She shows confidence but she is a genuine person and has great sportsmanship. I am currently reading her book and she has such a fascinating story.  Simone is so fun to watch! Her gymnastics skills are explosive and she always has a smile when she is performing. Simone won the All-Around at the National Championships by over six points. That is a huge and unthinkable gap between first and second place. Simone once again is proving that she is still the best. I can’t wait to see how she evolves leading up to the next Olympics. I am not going to lie, I was expecting her to come back and have watered down routines especially for her first competition.  Boy was I wrong.  She proved that she isn’t holding back and her hard work getting back into training is clearly paying off. People have asked her if she is human and you can see why.  She is the best gymnast ever and nobody can seem to come close to catching her.  I can only imagine what the next two years will bring for her and team USA.  I don’t know how her routines can be any more impressive but I know that somehow, she will find a way.

Go Simone!

You can watch the full broadcast of day 1 and 2 of Women’s US Nationals here!

The World Championships are fast approaching. She and the US Women are favored to win.  I can’t wait to watch!

Great job to all of the ladies who competed at this competition.  You are the best of the best.
