Hi there couch gymnast.
I’m not the best of writers, so I’ve decided to submit this as an article idea. I realised this when watching Kui Yuanyuan’s artistic, difficult and well executed routine at the World’s 1997 EF on the Balance Beam. After reading about the scandal where she took the Bronze behind Svetlana Khorkina, but more importantly Gina Gogean, and the subsequent criticism of the judging panel by the head of the FIG, I thought it could make an interesting article. Not just about Kui, but gymnasts who, over the years, not debatably but on a unanimous scale, were robbed of the golds they deserved.

Hi there! Just noticed you’ve been writing a few articles on “Meet the Team”.
Could you please write one about the brazilian team? I think they have good chances to qualify!
Byeee!

Hello,
I work for SportsManagementDegree.org , which is a resource covering educational and career opportunities in athletics. One of the careers our readers often pursue is coaching. In an effort to provide inspiring examples of success in coaching, we’ll be publishing a list that highlights the top sites for coaches.
I’m excited to let you know that The Couch Gymnast has been nominated for inclusion on the list!
We’re still looking for great coaching sites in any sport to include, so if you know of any others that deserve a spot on this list, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Cheers,
Beth
