    WAG Does your Gym get Crazier after the summer/during the summer Olympics?

    So, 4 years ago this summer my dd was in her first ever rec class. As the session was close to an end we were asked to move to team, I wasn't sure this was what we wanted to do and I inquired about taking a few weeks to talk about it and decide if we would go that route or just sign up for...

    Let's hear your U.S. Olympic trials stories!

    ....I have many, but two were hilarious, and as my husband said, could only happen to me. The first day as those attending know, it was a zoo getting in the place. At one point I leaned over the railing to ask this small blonde woman if we were indeed in the right line. "I am sorry, I don't...

    NBC Olympic "commercials"

    Has anyone noticed while watching the trials (not just gym but other sports too) they have a segment where the voiceover says "are you interested in [insert sport here], go to our website to learn how to accomplish your Olympic Dream!" I feel like this is just a way to feed crazy sport parents...

    Article on NBC/Olympic gymnastics

    Ran across this on FB the other day so several of you have probably seen it as well. I agree with it completely. I remember during the men's trials, the camera showed Sam Mikulak cheering for another gymnast. We didn't get to see the routine, just Sam Cheering for it. Looking forward to...

    WAG Has an alternate ever been used at the Olympics?

    I tried to look for some info on this and didn't see much, so I figured you guys wiser than me would know. Just curious! What a strange spot to be in as an alternate...it must be disappointing to know you were so close, but still-what an experience! (I assume they travel with the team?) And you...

    How do they pick who goes to the Olympic trials?

    So I finally got to watch the Secret Classic with Puma Jr tonight and she had a lot of great questions! The biggest one was how they decide who gets to go to the trials. Obviously Simone Biles ect are sure to be invited, but there must be some on the bubble just to get there? Is it just who...

    WAG Olympic bound!

    Lol ok, so I just want to share this. I was standing next to the counter at the gym and I over heard one of the coaches told a parent that Susie is so good that she has Olympic potential. Susie is 9 years old training level 4. Susie is strong and has talent but to my untrained eye, Susie is not...

    Meet Krystal Lara - 2016 Olympic Trial Swimmer

    real nice feel good story about a young woman, a swimmer, who had somewhat of an unusual path to a possible spot on the U.S. Olympic Team. The hard work and dedication seemed to parallel a gymnast seeking the same. Link Removed

    WAG Is your daughter training for the Olympics?

    I posted something on Facebook about dd's first meet of the season last weekend. One mom I know asked this question. I started writing and I think my response came out pretty nice so I wanted to share. I wanted to hear what other people say when they get asked the same thing? "Thanks for the...

    WAG It's official!! Got our seats for Olympic trials...

    ...and they are great! Once we got our confirmation email I scoped out the seats. We appear to be in front of bars and vault. Mind you, I have seen hockey games there and there truly aren't any bad seats. Loving our nosebleed section!! Anyone else got their actual seats yet???

    WAG Olympic Trials

    How do they determine who competes in the Olympic trials? Does the P&G championship determine this? I am just curious about the process.

    WAG What exactly does "Junior Olympic" mean anyway?

    I've had people ask me why its called that and I haven't been able to even make an educated guess. Can anyone tell me why its called that? Are there other sports that have a JO classification, too?
