Hello friends, The first sport I fell in love with was gymnastics. The hours my older sister Karen and I spent on the lawn outside our apartment building in Chaska, Minnesota doing cartwheels, handstands, somersaults, and attempted back flips that almost broke our necks cannot be counted. Inspired by Nadia Comăneci’s perfect 10s at the 1976 Olympics, we tumbled and rolled and leapt ourselves dizzy with dreams of becoming Olympians ourselves, until summer faded into winter and we forgot about them.
