Bit of a stunner from Kayla Williams ain't it? That vault talent was indeed a flash in the pan for elite gymnastics. Girl had potential. Was being a vault specialist not enough for Marta? Clearly, I know nothing. Actually, it sounds like she has made this decision on her own. Maybe just getting on with school is her thing. Also, am I going to hell for immediately thinking "Woo Alicia is IN,

Bless Alicia Sacramone for coming back to entertain us all. There is a scarcity of gymnastics personality right now. The LA Times featured an interview with Miss Sacramone. Sounds like she's enjoying herself.

And they just keep on coming! Here is translation of an interview with Octavian Belu for y'all's perusal. What I wanna know is, everyone's talking- who's actually doing the coaching at the mo?! Maybe Lili C's got 'em all lined up on beam, working on the arm flapping and shimmying, thinking "yes! let's get some more beam chorey in before the Tumble Nazis all get back!!" You can read this
