Heath Thorpe interview

Great gymnast. Fantastic media guy. One of the best in Antwerp, I felt.

“Media can be terrible. … These questions can be terrible.”

Heath has empathy with the gymnasts. And they trust him not to sensationalize any word they might say.

Mary Lou Retton has pneumonia  

I was shocked to hear that the still super fit former Olympic champion was in the ICU for “over a week” with a rare form of pneumonia.

Daughter McKenna Kelley shared the news Tuesday.

As of Wednesday morning, the Spotfund page has raised more than $250,000 from over 4,000 donors.

It seems that even a celebrity Olympic champion needs to crowdsource healthcare in the USA.

And we all want Mary Lou back smiling and with family as quickly as possible.

Su Weide – H Bar

I love this routine. Perhaps my favourite Chinese H Bar set, so far.

World Champion Jake Jarman

Jake said he was originally a poor vaulter. Piked down a simple Kas poorly when he was a young lad.
