Summary

THIS WEEK'S INTERVIEW

Ruby Harrold from Bristol, England (The Academy Portishead), has graced our country by competing in college for Louisiana State University. She was an alternate for the London Olympics in 2012, an integral part of the historic bronze medal for Team GB at the Glasgow Worlds in 2015, and has revitalized bars like no one else. We discuss:

How, as a reluctant GB elite, she was recruited to college gymnastics
Biggest cultural difference training at LSU
The bars skill she has never mastered
Glasgow team medal vs. her Rio experience
Resurrecting the Zuchold-Schleudern and keeping her difficulty in college.

Amy Smith, NCAA champion gymnast and current associate head coach at the University of North Carolina tells us about the historic #BeTrue, LGBTQ Community Support meet at UNC vs. Florida last weekend. This first of its kind in the history of gymnastics, had the largest crowd EVER for the UNC gymnastics program.
