As we feared, New Zealand was too shortsighted to approve Isabella who earned Olympic qualification at the continental championship.
One more Olympian from a small nation makes a BIG difference to the sport there. Inspiring children. Improving public fitness. A good investment.
I coached a year in New Zealand and am very disappointed.

It was not even NZOC, the New Zealand gymnastics federation did not approve of the nomination and did not move forward the nomination to the NZOC. Very sad.

Really? That’s even worse. The Federation KNOWS the value of having one more Olympian. What a shame.
