Reminds me of Marta’s camp before the 1979 World Championships.
Update. This post is a joke, folks. The food at camp is pretty substantial, if predictable.

Really good insights into life at Camp:
… we wake up around 6:45 a.m. and head straight for breakfast. Most of the girls grab eggs and coffee before we go back to our cabins and get ready to hit the gym. National team coordinator Martha Karolyi has an unwritten rule: if you’re not 30 minutes early to practice, you’re late. So although practice starts at 8:30, we all get there at 8. …
At 8:30 on the dot, Martha walks out of the office. It’s a signal — we stand up, line up and address her. She gives our assignments for the day, and we start practice. …

I especially like her comparisons of being a rookie in 2004 … vs how she and Alicia treat camp now.

I dropped in on a training camp for the National Irish Super Squad for under 10s. Kids & coaches get together as often as once a month to train together at Excel Gymnastics near Dublin.
They showed some particularly good basics on Bars.
