Proud of my daughter
 

Taking a second to brag about my 6 year old daughter Rachel. She was just officially chosen for the gymnastics team program at the World Olympics Gymnastics Academy. WOGA is literally the best gym in the country. The last two women's Olympic All Around Gold Medalists went there. People move from all over the country to get their daughters in the gym. You can't sign your child up for the team program there, they have to be picked. She loves gymnastics, we can't get her to stop. I'm amazed that my daughter has such a great opportunity.

Congratulations! That's great news!

I see a Wheaties cover in your daughter's future!

Congratulations!! :ThmbUp:

grew up in upstae ny. as a kid, we fished the ausable river which is in the lake placid neighborhood. lake placid is the home of the winter olympic training facility (ski jumps, bobsled runs). facinating to spend time watching athletes of that calibur train.

where is the gym located ?

best of luck to her.

you must be busting your buttons with pride. quite an honor for her to be chosen for that level. give my regards to Bela Karolyi

I was 20 before I learned to tie my shoes. They say 6 in gymnastics is like 48 in bowling. I haven't the slightest idea what that means but it means a lot to be a proud Pops. Good for her & your fam. :ThmbUp:

That's very cool. Thanks for sharing the news with us. I wish her all the best.

Isbets, I can think of nothing in the world that can make dads beam more than their little girls. I hope Rachel will continue to love and thrive in her gymnastics world. Much discipline and such hard work is involved, but the passion to carry it all onward is already, long in place.

Happy for you all, especially Rachel!! I'll bet she's as tiny as a "wood sprite." ;)

Congrats!

that's great! happy for your family...

I like good news and this is the best kind ! Congratulations to you and Rachel, way to go !!!!

that is as good as it gets, bigtime congrats to your family. this is huge, and you should brag, its better than having the only winning pick 6 ticket.

Thanks for posting and sharing the good news. Best of luck to you and your family in such an exciting time.

Way to go Dad - may you and Rachel enjoy this ride for a long time.
