Olympic Channel – All Around finale
It was a gamble to chose 3 gymnasts to follow through to the Tokyo Olympics.
First, an unexpected pandemic delayed the competition for a year.
Next, only one of the three gymnasts followed ended up qualifying for Tokyo.
Happily, Angelina had a great meet. Tied Bronze in the All Around and Bronze on Floor at the Olympics. Gold in team.
Watch the final episode (and all previous episodes) here. It’s fun to watch Russian and American gymnasts cheering each other.

Never say never. But Oksana sounds definite in a new, long interview:
…  I guess an athlete just feels when the time they will not want to train and compete anymore comes. I felt that my concluding Olympics would be in Tokyo. I knew that after Tokyo, the moment when I wouldn’t want to come to the gym anymore would happen.
That’s exactly what happened. …
