Hey everyone,

I'm Anne, a former gymnast from Texas. I was a gymnast for eight years, and had just finished my level 9 season when I decided to pursue pole vaulting. I pole vaulted for the University of Texas, but gymnastics has remained my favorite sport. I'm passionate about gymnastics, and I want everyone to see how amazing the athletes in our sport really are.

Aside from the Olympics, gymnastics doesn't get too much media coverage which is a shame because I really believe it's the coolest sport in the world. You and I both know there's more to gymnastics than girls flipping around in pretty leotards on TV every 4 years. So, I want to show gymnastics behind the scenes - how tough our athletes are, how hard they work, and what they're like off the competition floor.

I'll have workout videos so you can see how the best gymnasts train, and video interviews with top athletes and coaches, so you can hear their stories and get to know them on a more personal level. We'll also have blogs, gymnastics news, and personalized training tools.

I'm currently traveling the country collecting thoughts and ideas from the best minds in the sport. Your feedback, both good and bad, is extremely welcome as this site is as much yours as it is mine. I want to make this the best site for you, the gymnastics community.

I think this is a great idea for a site. I wish I had discovered it sooner. It's got a lot of great features, and you're right the sport does not get enough coverage, and when it does it's not very in depth. As someone who came to enjoy the sport as just a fan I have learned over the years how much of the story isn't told, and just how much gymnastics is going on outside of those two weeks every 4 years. I think it's great that this site exists, gymnastics can use all the help it can get. :)
