After a year of dealing with injuries, prominent US junior, Laurie Hernandez has had her rightful place reinstated on the junior national team.



Laurie caught the eye of gym fans all over the world at the 2013 P&G Championships where she won silver behind Miss "I Win Everything All the Time" Bailie Key, gaining attention for her floor routine. Laurie stood out for her unique choreography, never giving away any artistry for the sake of difficult tumbling.
