Nia Dennis to Legacy Elite
A few weeks ago I was at Buckeye, the club that developed Nia into one of the best gymnasts in the USA. She looked very happy to me. And was training well with Gabby and the rest of the elite group.
But after not being selected for the American Pan Am team, Nia’s moved to Anna Li’s parent’s gym.

If FIG wants greater audience appeal for the sport, have the Awards ceremony follow the actual athletic contest. How many general fans want to sit through all these National anthems?

I’d love to see a training routine where she nails everything. Leave a comment if you know of one.
