365 Days Until Paris 2024

My friend and I were talking about how difficult it's going to be to make this US team. We had 13 people we were talking about, some more likely than others, but still.

The thing I'm also interested in, is of course Russia. FIG recently made a path for them, but with some vague guidelines and the IOC would have to permit it as well. It's no secret that many of the Russian athletes support the war and are actively involved in the military, and FIG has said that would exclude them from competing, at least the way I read things.

Wow, 1 year to go. One of the girls at a local gym was training for the 2024 Olympics, where she would have been just age eligible.

She had an accident in training in April and was paralysed from the neck down.

Many of the gyms are rallying to raise funds to support her treatment.

Make every day count and never loose sight of what is important.

Tried getting tickets, failed miserably, will watch on TV. Or maybe buy some lottery tickets and do the hospitality route instead...

I'm so saddened to hear that.

Is that Ava? If so we purchased the leotard Sylvia P made to support her. Such a heartbreaking story.

Yes, it is Ava. The SylviaP leotards were for her foundation.

Paralympics? Side bar - my DD does gymnastics but my son is a wheelchair sports player (many sports). We love be both worlds. My sons team has someone who is going to Paris as well.

TOPS makes Olympics trading cards which my kids loved to get when they were little and the packs always include Paralympians. This made us interested in the Paralympians that we had cards for and we'd look them up online and try to watch their sport. What sport is your son's teammate going to Paris for?

What is cool, is my old coach was Rebeca Andrade‘s olympic coach when she competed for Brazil. Her name was Keli kitura. My mom and her are still Facebook friends even though it have been five years and we have moved and she has moved since then!
