On Saturday, October 8th, I brought Maya and her friend Ainsley to the World Gymnastics Championships at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. The top 8 teams qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. The gymnast that recently won the U.S. Gymnastics Championship, Jordyn Wieber, is 16 and from DeWitt, Michigan, which is about 100 miles away from Kalamazoo. We had the chance to watch the U.S. team, which won the qualifying round by over 3 pts (ahead of the nearest country, Russia), and Jordyn came in 2nd overall. The entire team was fantastic!
