Queen E:
This is the best video of this outstanding floor routine that exists to my knowledge. Groshkova has never competed at World Championships; her light shone all too briefly when she won a silver medal at 1990 Europeans. …
Tatiana trained at Moscow Dynamo where her personal coach was Elvira Saadi …
The genius of Tatiana Groshkova
The only other female gymnast who competed it, that I can recall, was Alexis Brion (1995) from Excalibur. In pike.

Ellie Black profile
For a gymnast who “came out of nowhere”, Ellie not going away anytime soon. She’s still improving. Still upgrading.
Ellie was 4th AA at 2013 FISU Games, 13th AA at Worlds 2013. Don’t be surprised to see her move up at Worlds 2014.

Chellsie Memmel – Personal Best
Chellsie:
Winning a competition is always great, but sometimes just performing to the best of your ability is an even greater accomplishment. There have been a number of competitions in my career where I performed my best routines, but did not win the meet. …
During a competition, try not to focus on the scores or your placement. Instead, focus on performing the best skills and routines possible. Doing this really does help take some of the pressure off. …
… the scoring is out of your control …
From a coach’s perspective…. we were just recently at Regionals with our team. The goals we gave our girls was to hit 4 for 4. They did not have a specific score that we wanted them to obtain for each event. We told them to “Hit 4 for 4” and our hope was that it would be enough to make Nationals. That put less pressure on them before and during the meet because it did not give them a chance to be disappointed after an event if they didn’t get a certain score. The results of this thinking?…three of our four level 10?s qualified, including my sister, Skyler!

The pressure is greater at Regionals than Championships, of course.
As you know, Chellsie was one “bad-ass” competitor herself.
