If you don't believe me, just ask everyone who asks me about her last meet.
I tell them, "She did really well. She won vault, floor and all-around, took second on bars and fourth on beam." Almost invariably the response is, "I bet we'll be seeing her in the Olympics."
I always want to say, "I bet we won't. I'll settle for her getting her Level 4 skills this year!" I usually just mumble, "That's a really hard level to get to and it's way too early to think about that."
I love the entusiasm of friends and family, but I don't think people understand just how elite Olympians are- especially in this sport. Does anyone else get that future Olympian nonsense?
