Laurie Hernandez goes pro
Officially signed with Sheryl Shade of Shade Global.
Hernandez, currently a member of the U.S. Olympic Women’s Gymnastics Team, plans to continue in elite gymnastics for the next four years and compete on Team USA.
One of the favourites for World Champion 2017, I’m thinking.

Charlotte Drury update
😦
Charlotte Drury spent nearly seven years preparing for the Rio Olympics, and now she’s not sure if she’ll even watch them. …
The broken bone in her right ankle and the black boot covering it are a constant reminder of how close she came to representing the United States as its top trampoline gymnast.
“It was devastating, it still is devastating,” Drury said recently. …
Can you survive the crushing feeling of seeing your Olympic dream die?
Megan Abbott – You Will Know Me
Megan Abbott is an American author of crime fiction and a non-fiction analysis of hardboiled crime fiction.
She’s a good writer and skillful story teller.
I just finished her latest novel You Will Know Me.
How far will you go to achieve a dream? That’s the question a celebrated coach poses to Katie and Eric Knox after he sees their daughter Devon, a gymnastics prodigy and Olympic hopeful, compete. For the Knoxes there are no limits–until a violent death rocks their close-knit gymnastics community and everything they have worked so hard for is suddenly at risk. …
Though the author doesn’t know the difference between a forward and backward hip circle, she clearly did some research into the club drama that is (sometimes) the parents booster club. A closed group. Secrets and rumours.
Most coaches would enjoy this intense novel, I think. I wouldn’t recommend it for gymnasts.
