One trivia question left to answer.... What gym did Kerri train at with Arthur and several other coaches in 1994?

Brian you are almost completely correct. Yes she went to Browns after the 1992 Olympics but wasn't there long before she moved to Dynamo. And yes she did train in Tucson with Arthur but no the gym she trained at still is in business and its not Amanda's Gym. Her gyms are in Tempe and Chandler AZ.In terms of questions some of the answer are coming in future videos. I didn't do this interview Gymnastike Contributor Marina did it I am just editing the story so even I have not heard the entire interview yet. So we will see. Kim Zmeskal's interview videos are coming in the near future.Thank you for you comments and please feel free to give us interviewee ideas and questions you want asked for future Flash Back Interviews

@AC- the American Classic was in 1993 and yes Kerri was at Dynamo at that point. Where was she just prior to that? And does anyone know what gym she was training in with Arthur Akopian during 1994?

Anonymous Coward- those are all the coaches yes but who did she go to after Bela in 1992 prior to Dynamo and Steven Nunno.

gymrascal29

yes she did go to dynamo but that wasnt the first gym she was at. She was coached by Arthur Akopian but at what gym did she train at?
