Announced on his Flip for Charlie Facebook page.

I am lucky to return to a beautiful family — my beautiful wife and two beautiful twins, in addition to my wonderful friends all around me. I want to thank every single one of you for your unwavering support and I hope I did not disappoint any of you. I look forward to contributing to the gymnastics community through coaching and inspiring young gymnasts with a dream.

Life is great and full of beautiful things, especially my family. I want to thank: my wife, Nicole, her family and all the people who afforded me this opportunity and who helped me to get this far.

One of my favourite gymnasts all time, here’s one of the most popular video edits of the astonishing things Charlie did in the gym.

If she adds the Nabieva release, for SURE. 🙂

Commentary by Brigid McCarthy.

Brigid shared a link to a tumblr blog called mustafina2012. It has distant videos of routines from Finals. No embed code. Aliya’s back doing her Bar dismount. Vika falls on her new double twisting double tuck in Finals.

Click PLAY or watch a new Mustafina montage on YouTube.

That edit is from thebeamqueen.tumblr.com. I’m now subscribed.

In 2010 Aliya was perfect. The best routines in the world were easy. … Not so now. I admire her even more now.
