Charlotte Mackie

Triple Twist:

… She was innovative and unique; a crowd pleaser and yet she wasn’t able to realize her dream of making it to the Olympics. (Despite being one of Canada’s top gymnasts for many years)

It’s sad to think about what Charlotte might have accomplished had she not gotten injured one year shy of the Olympic games. …

Gymnastics documentary from Ukraine

Some errors. Some mis-translations.

Fairly hyperbolic about the dangers of the sport.

Still, it’s well worth watching. English sub-titles.

Podkopaeva, Zakharova and Omelianchik are interviewed.

vote for the best Gymnastics pose

Here’s a cool idea from four gymnasts-turned-coaches in Spain:

Step one: They’ve posted 10 cool gymnastics poses from 2013. Go to their Gymnastics New Year Facebook page and vote for your fave.

Step two: When a winner is announced, take a picture of yourself and/or friends/gymnasts doing the pose on January 1. The photos will be used to make a big collage (and, ostensibly, shared on Facebook). Send photos to gymnastics.newyear (a)gmail.com.
