Proud of my daughter

[lsbets]

Thanks all.

Jim - I think Bela retired (I knew nothing about gymnastics a year ago before she started). The head coach there and owner there is Valeri Liukin, his daughter Nastia won the gold in 2008.

The athletes there are amazing. Most gyms are lucky to end up with one elite level gymnast, I think they have 11 there, and I think 4 are on the U.S. National team. The current national champion, Rebecca Bross, goes there. It's a great environment.

The quality of coaches is amazing. My daughter's coach is Romanian. She spent 10 years as a Romanian national team coach before coming to the States. She trained several European champions. I love her outlook though. She wants to keep it fun when they are little while developing their skills.

Its after 9 now and my daughter is still walking around on her hands. LOL. The girl loves it, and that is what matters most.

Congrats!!!

I can see it now...in the not too distant future...as your daughter is warming up for her run at gold medal Olympic history, she turns towards the camera and mouths those famous words "Hi Mom!"

Just kidding...enjoy the ride!
