My Granda was one of my biggest fans, I was always excited to bring home medals to him. And when a competition didn’t go to plan he’d still call me “Champ”. He believed in me when most did not. Rest in Peace Granda, I’m forever proud to be a McClenaghan because of you.

A beautiful demonstration of gymnasts having cat-like reflexes. An adjustment of the hips to move her centre of gravity towards the beam. A correction if not made would have made her feet miss the beam completely. This decision all made in a fraction of a second.
