Alex Loch of Maple Lake has won a lot of medals over the years in gymnastics — but what may be more impressive is his mettle to overcome impaired vision.
He competed as a Level 10 gymnast despite being born legally blind. …
He’s able to see just 2 to 3 feet away what most people see at 20-to-30 feet away. …
Watch a video of Alex on that news article.

Articles like this are pretty inspiring. I’ll show this to my gymnasts this week – thanks for posting!
