Lately I’ve noticed that gymnasts are appearing much more in advertising and the media – and sometimes in the most unexpected places! Sometimes the gymnasts you wouldn’t expect to see, either.
For instance, last night I was walking past Aeropostale in the mall and I noticed this advertisement in the window and took a photo:
Then I checked their website and they are really promoting Aly. They especially seem to be promoting Aly for her, er, dancing skills:

I guess Aly is pretty famous in America and she really is a good role model whatever your opinion on her gymnastics.
A short time ago I posted this commercial in the American Appreciation Thread:
I was quite surprised to see Sam in this commercial and I suspected (as did some of the commenters) that maybe they couldn’t afford to hire Shawn or Nastia. There were certainly comments on Sam’s Onodi.
The next appearance by a gymnast was the most unexpected. I was in Barnes & Noble and picked up the latest “Summer Reading” issue of the literary magazine Tin House. I don’t normally buy literary magazines because they are quite expensive, but I noticed several articles that interested me.
Then I noticed an article in the table of contents that took me by surprise. It is an article (actually more of an opinion piece by Marin Sardy) on Svetlana Boginskaya. The article is called Lightning, or Feathers - A Former Competitive Gymnast explores how Svetlana Boginskaya turned the gymnastics world on its head. The first line is: What you noticed first about Svetlana Boginskaya when she stepped up to an apparatus was the length of her limbs.
Of course I bought the issue. Unfortunately you can’t read the article online but you can obtain a copy in either paperback or Kindle form here:

Of course if you have a Barnes & Noble nearby you might be able to find the issue and read it as you drink a latte.
