Gabby Douglas Seeks to Rebound From Her Olympic Stardom - NYTimes.com

I don't disagree with anything in this article, I only wish she had more than 9 days at the ranch because Marta and the lack of distractions will do a world of good for her. I'm still rooting for her! (though I want Laurie in the 2nd AA spot - but I'll root for her in event finals)
This article also just made me hate her family. "We cheered when she made the team because ENDORSEMENTS!" Like just be happy for your freakin kid. I also doubt being filmed for a show in the middle of training was "relaxing."
But also her male coach gives me a weird vibe. There's something about him that reminds me of a villain from a Disney movie

I always got the feeling they were just riding out the short term popularity they would have as Olympic coaches. I actually just lump them in with the rest of "Gabby Inc". Opportunistic sponges.I get that vibe with him, but I also got that vibe with Kittia much more strongly. I am NOT alleging abuse or anything, but when either of them hugged her, Gabby was so visibly uncomfortable and there was just a vibe I got that something was very wrong with the relationship. Now, she is a more serious gymnast and it may just be "I just messed up, I don't want a sympathy hug I want to get better," etc. type reaction... but again, just a gut feeling that something is not right with both of those coach-athlete relationships.

I hadn't seen that. Sometime in the last year, her spark was lost. I'm hoping she can find it again down at camp before the Olympics.
i would say even gabby herself didnt think she was going to make it after her performance at trials.I agree.
Having seen that before Nationals and Trials m, I guess it made it harder for me to question Kittia. She seemed to have spark in that feature, but we all know how quickly things change. I hope she finds it again
In other news....an article about Ashton
Huntersville gymnast Ashton Locklear in Olympics limbo, but still celebrating | The Charlotte Observer
It mentions fundraising for her family to get to Rio. I also so a fundraiser for Laurie's family although the clarification wasn't clear whether it meant real family or gym family
Ashton also mentions what it was like inside the room after trials...interesting that she didn't include Gabby in the group of girls that "knew" they would make the team.
