I heard a rumor ( on tumblr) that it wasn't gabby's decision but her moms. Her mom thought gabby wasn't getting enough attention with 4 other elites at chows. Not sure if this is true or not just sharing a rumor.

I think her mom is the reason she's a headcase now. Mom is trying to cash in and run the show, and isn't getting what she wants. That's just my take on it, after reading everything, and hearing the sob story of their poorness over and over. Well, really? There are a lot of gymnasts who go through the same thing to keep training, Gabby is not alone in the "we can't really afford this" gymnastics struggle. I clean bathrooms to keep my daughter in the gym, and we can't afford to make a bunch of unofficial visits, or attend college camps to expose her to more places so we can market her to get an offer for a scholarship. So tired of hearing that story like Gabby is alone in the struggle to pay for training.I heard a rumor ( on tumblr) that it wasn't gabby's decision but her moms.

Someone should have stepped in and told her mother to back off, but she probably wouldn't have listened. If she's looking for a new coach, like Chow said, I wonder who will be willing to take her?
no, this one is NOT true.![]()
There are a lot of rumors floating out there. I do not have any personal knowledge, but the one that strikes me as being most likely is that there was a trial period during which Gabby had to show that she was serious about a come back and willing to train full time and she did not do this. Chow was willing to take her back on the condition that she stop focusing on her "celebrity" appearances and get back to the gym. When she failed to do that she had to go. Chow now has 4 serious elite gymnasts and does not need Gabby coming and using his gym to stage a "come back" which is not real. Perhaps Dunno knows if this is what happened.
Yes. That is true. My own theory -- and it is just a theory -- is that the money train was slowing down and Gabby needed to raise her profile to keep it coming. Gabby has been supporting her entire family in rather high style since the Olympics. So there is financial pressure.Don't the fake comebacks usually pop up much closer to the Olympics?
Nastia and Shawn both tried coming back too late.
No idea what Aly or Kyla have been doing.
Is Jordan training at all?
Actually being around other elites might be good for her to light a fire under her ***.
Who knows. But like last quad, she doesn't even have a guaranteed slot with all the new talent coming up.
Kyla needs to do the one thing that's more important than upgrades.
Didn't know about McKayla's injuries though I though Aly was training as was Kyla (I remember her silvers now).
I know Jordan was working at UCLA but hadn't heard if she was actually training.
And Kyla is very good and very consistent, but she really needs to upgrade. Unless they really need lots of help on bars and beam I do not see her going to Rio. As you say, there is a ton of serious talent coming up and with the exception of Simone i think we should be watching the juniors now.
