Amelia Hundley’s diet

Click through to see an excellent report from Betsy McNally-Laouar, Amelia’s trainer and nutritionist.

At the last National Team Training Camp at the Karolyi Ranch, Meels won physical abilities and showed up in the best shape of her career. She has been working hard on her meal plan and training to bring her best physique to Nationals this year.

* High protein foods in the form of eggs and fish like salmon, tilapia and cod

* Unlimited green veggies, like spinach, asparagus and kale – yielding high levels potassium and magnesium to balance vitamin and minerals in the body

* Bi-weekly healthy refuel cheat meals that include carb cycling …

* Simple sugars in the form of berries and other fruits

* Moderate amounts of healthy fats in the form of olive and coconut oil and nut butters

* Occasional treats to remain “sane” and enjoy all foods

Brittany Rogers – Bars

Brittany turned age-23 today.

I was at her Gym for two days this week. No rest after Nationals for Olympic team contenders. 🙂

In person – at 5′ 6″ – Brittany is even more impressive than on YouTube. Her Bars are particularly shocking. She rips through half routines like Beth Tweddle. Her toe 1/1 is toe hop 1/1 catching (sometimes) before handstand.

Check the height on this Shap half. Almost horizontal. That’s as high as anyone in the world.

The list of 12+ gymnasts who will be invited to the Canadian Olympic trial camp has still not been finalized. Brittany is certainly top 3 on Bars and Vault.

coach Eric Harrison to prison

French / American Gymnastics coach Eric Harrison was sentenced to 2 years in prison with 1 year suspended.

Amongst his other crimes, he had a video camera in the locker room in Guise, France. It looks like a pen.

Harrison edited the website Gymnet.org, now gone from the internet. We’ve deleted all links to Gymnet.org from this site, as well.

I want to thank a member of the former Gymnet forum for alerting us to this criminal.
