I’d love to see Eddie compete for USA in Worlds 2017. He’d have a shot at both FX and Vault finals.

Czech gymnast David Jessen
Czech born, the classy Olympian is currently training at Stanford.
John Crumlish:
Jessen, who placed 47th all-around in Rio, shared his thoughts on Rio and his plans for the future in this IG Online interview. …
IG: After Rio you posted a Facebook message implying that you weren’t satisfied with your results. Looking back, what went right and not-so-right?
DJ: Looking back at the Games, my performance was not as bad as it might have seemed at first. Disappointment is the first thing that hits when something doesn’t go as well as you hoped, especially when an opportunity such as the Olympic Games comes only once every four years. I think I may have set my ambitions a little too high instead of letting the competition take its course and enjoying it. …
IG: What big meets are on your agenda for Czech Republic this year?
DJ: Sadly, this year’s NCAA Championships fall on the same weekend as the European Championships, so I will not be able to go (to Europeans) this time. However, I do plan on competing at Czech Nationals in June if school permits. I also look forward to hopefully competing in this year’s University Games in Taipei and World Championships in Montreal.

“I worried about MyKayla’s arrival and the group dynamics of my team,” Utah head gymnastics coach Marsden told Excelle Sports. … In collegiate gymnastics, it is all about the team. She’s had to transition into that and we didn’t know for sure how that was going to go …
