Marique using it as a progression for the Vault. It’s great for Kolman, as well.

Looks like they need a new throw mat. 🙂

Aly Raisman – Millennium magazine

Great interview.

… Aly is 21 and still kickin’ it, vying for a coveted spot on the 2016 Olympic team. After spending time in Los Angeles, competing on ABC TV’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’, Aly is currently training in Burlington, Massachusetts at Brestyan’s, her hometown gym.

Anne Phillips started Gymnastike in 2008 with limited resources and limited staff, but a ton of passion, dedication, and hard work. The scope of gymnastics coverage has changed drastically in the past seven years, with Gymnastike at the front of the charge. Hear about how the site has grown over the years culminating in our recent rebrand to FloGymnastics.

Anne is now Senior Product Manager at FloSports. An administrator. No longer involved in day-to-day coverage. Without her tireless efforts in those early years, they’d never have come this far.
