World H Bar Champ Philippe Rizzo was there 1995-2010.

He reflects on the AIS in this interview.

Winter Cup highlights montage

Much better than I anticipated. Gymnasts did not feel forced to compete, nor forced to compete those apparatus not yet ready.

Georgia Bonora is a double Olympian who was surprised to find herself going into full-time coaching.
