MCSMaria's Artistic Gymnastics Blog

I'm super late in posting this and for that, I apologize. via gagecenter.com Here is 2014 Worlds team member, Maddie Desch training at the Ranch for Team USA's January training camp. She's shown adding some upgrades on bars and some new connections on beam and floor. Here is what I saw:

Kyla Ross like many high school seniors has made the tough choice on where she will attend college. Yesterday, on her Twitter account, Kyla announced her commitment to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Daniela Silivas (Harper) Olympic Gold medalist, World Champion, European Champion and now, a gymnastics coach, a wife and a mother of three children. Yesterday, Daniela posted a conversation she had with her five-year-old son, Rylan on her Facebook page. What a gem. Kids say the darnedest things....

Fear not gymterneters, Laurie Hernandez is back. Thank the Gym Gods. She's featured in this camp video working on all sorts of good upgrades. Follow my blog with Bloglovin

The good folks at USA Gymnastics have once again came through for the Gymternet at large and they have supplied us with training videos from the January training camp. This video features junior Ragan Smith training some pretty bad ass skills for such a tiny person. After watching this video, I now know two things.

The first camp video of 2015 has been bestowed upon the Gymternet by the amazing gym gods at USA Gymnastics. This video is a feature about the newest Team USA seniors, Bailie Key Miss "I win everything all the time", Nia "I have the best standing Arabian on beam ever", and Chow's newest ingenue, Alexis Vasquez. The girls are all interviewed about their anticipation about becoming seniors. Bailie says she's excited to become a senior because she knows all the senior girls. Marta Karolyi, Team USA's women's team coordinator is interviewed and she talks about each of the girls and their strengths and weaknesses and of course, her goals for them. Marta says she wants to see Alexis upgrade some of her skills and she wants to see Nia work on her consistency.  But the best part is Bailie is training some boss new skills.

Swaggie Maggie is getting her swag on in the gym.. The Pan American Team gold medalist and all-around bronze medalist posted a video on her Instagram account of her training a new skill, a full twisting double layout.

In this edition of Keeping Up With The Round Lake Gymnasts, Grishy is back and Aliya is finally taking a well deserved rest from competition for a while (doctor's orders!)
