My question is this: With all of these comps going on before Rio, why are we not seeing more Biles vs Douglas? It always seems like one or the other is there, but not the two together. Am I mistaking? Is Marta trying to keep them in a good mindset by not letting them compete against each...

I am really interested in getting tickets next year to one of the gymnastics qualifiers (AT&T, Secret Classic, or P&G) but was curious to see if anyone has gone to one of these events recently because I have some questions. First question relates to cost: how much am I going to have to shell...

Anyone ever have any experience with this? DD hurt herself tumbling last night (landing in a crack in the mat) and this is the diagnosis from the ER. Going to see ortho tomorrow. What are healing times like and are they ever the same after?! Thanks!

Not that it's happening to me, but I'm curious at everyones response regarding meets that extend onto a Friday. I've recently seen one where the gym is having AM sessions on a Friday. I know if that was my DD, I'd be a little perturbed that she would have to miss school. What are your thoughts?

The first time I posted on chalkbucket, I was a bonafide crazy gym mom. I know this now. That was three years ago. My daughter was competing in her second year as a level 4 (age 6) and I was absolutely over the moon. Gym life has been slow and steady since then. I am not always commenting...

Anyone else see the P&G Commercial for the 2012 Olympics? I'm a sap and cry everytime! Best Job | P&G London 2012 Olympic Games Film - YouTube

So my DD is a L4 this year and had a very successful year on L3. At her last USAG meet she placed 1st AA. She picks up things really quickly and has almost all of her L4 skills for the year on all apparatuses. I would love to see her possibly go up to L5 because she also has a lot of those...
