BBC documentary – The Gymnast
RAVE REVIEWS. The Olympics are coming. It’s time for fans to rewatch the classic story of the Beijing British team.
… a British documentary covering the selection of the 2008 Olympic Team. As a documentary alone, it is worthy of viewing. As a gymnastics documentary, it is superb. The film captures the emotional stress on the British girls as they train and compete for a spot on the Olympic Team. The never-ending stress at home and in the gym is palpable.
Andrian Stan is the star of the film. His blunt candor is horrifying, refreshing, amusing and brutally honest. …

Troy Dumais’ last dive
With tears in his eyes.
A four-time Olympian. An Olympic bronze medalist. A 38-time national champion. A national team member since 1996.
Few have had the career that Troy Dumais has had.
And on Saturday, that career came to end in front a crowd that gave him a standing ovation before his emotional final dive at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, at which he finished fourth in the men’s 3-meter contest. …
Click through to watch the very emotional end of Troy’s great career.
Thanks Tom.

No Whittenburg?
I’m surprised.
USA is leaving several potential Olympic medalists at home in order to improve their team score.
A team medal is a long shot. Bringing individual apparatus medalists would have been another strategy.
Sam Mikulak of Newport Coast, Calif./Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Center), earned a berth to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, after posting the highest four-day all-around total, a 362.750, at the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials …
The complete men’s U.S. Olympic Team, pending United States Olympic Committee approval, is comprised of: Chris Brooks of Houston, Texas/Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Center); Jake Dalton of Sparks, Nev./Team Hilton (University of Oklahoma); Mikulak; Alex Naddour of Queen Creek, Ariz./Team Hilton (USA Youth Fitness); and John Orozco of Bronx, N.Y./Team Hilton (U.S. Olympic Training Centre) …
But I am thrilled for John Orozco. You’ve got to love a guy who’s so open about his life.

It's official: @SamuelMikulak, @jake_dalton, @Alex_Naddour, @cbrooks_wpr and @JohnOrozco are headed to Rio! https://t.co/rVWF2quEzK—
