Guatamala has a population of about 16 million. Per capita income $5,208 / year.
How many Gymnastics clubs?
Yes it’s silly that a competition exists where Guatamala competes mano a mano with the USA. But you’ve got to respect what Ana and her coaches – Adrian Boboc & Elena Boboc – have to do to compete with the richer more populous Pan Am nations.
She was 22nd AA at the London Olympics.
This routine was a big, happy surprise for me. Interesting and well done. She’s confident enough to do it with no coach standing in.
Respect to Chow.

It’s only a flag. It’s only one flag. But we should celebrate the symbolism of South Carolina taking down a Confederate flag. For some, not all, that flag represents an evil slave society. For some, not all, it’s a symbol of racism.
The NCAA felt that way, for example.

Can YOU do a front somersault to single leg squat?

Ellie had a bad day in prelims. Happily she still qualified for the AA Final. Without the pressure of needing to hit for the Team she’ll be even more aggressive in the Finals.
