You are misunderstanding. Yes, she is a good athlete and did an amazing job at the olympics. I do not automatically find fault with her. I would never even have thought that she has anything bad about her. However, her comments were disrespectful towards her previous coaches. Other than that, she seems like a great person, etc.
BTW, I have the greatest respect for Mustafina and Komova. They are not only great gymnasts but young ladies with great sporting values.

Their words and show of sportsmanship after the AA were wonderful to here.

I read the other day that Yuna has a baby....yes it was a silly and stupid gossip in a Korean paper.

Gabby is a very popular now but still just a young girl.

I think she will survive malicious gossip and even an Oprah interview that maybe upset a few people.

My feeling is those same people will always look for faults with Gabby.

Personally I think Gabby deserves to speak her mind, to talk about her experience.

I could easily see during the Team finals that Gabby was a bit of an outsider.....but am thankful that Jordan and particularly Ally made sure she knew she was part of the team.

I said it before and will say it again - Gabby did not have an easy road to London.
She comes form a part of Virginia that has produced some great but troubled African-American athletes.

Allen Iverson and Michael Vick had trouble growing up - much of it race related.

But they were in sports that had a history of African Americans excelling.

That is not the case with Gabby.

Anyway.... I really love this girl, think her story is AMAZING and wish her the best.

My brother and I bought a block of 15 tickets for the Gymnastics tour.....and thought 15 was enough.

We were wrong....coz everyone we know wants to see Gabby
