gym catch up

Hey guys, who is still around from the glory days of this forum? Kitty here? lol I really haven't kept up with gym nearly as intense as I used to in the last five or six years but I check back every now and then to see if there's any inspiring activity going on and it really seems like WAG has stalled in the last few years.

Anyway what's new in the gym world? Who is dominating? Who is up and coming? What's up with Rus, Rom, China as of late. Been seeing some Romanian headlines here and there and it sounds like Melnikova is basically the only name Russia has floating around? Komova finally retire?

Who is inspiring to everyone right now? What gymnasts are keeping your interests? What new skills are there etc?

Dutch Gymnastics

Competitive championship for both men and women this year in the AA. Lieke Wevers finishing second with a 53.80 is impressive.
I can totally see a team of Eythora, Naomi, Lieke and Sanne with an AA as alternate.

US BB Coach Questions

How often does the club beam coach attend meets with US athletes? I remember Shannon talking about Steve and Peggy always being with her but Shawn and Aly seem to imply it's just the male coach. Are they always at Nationals?

Also, who was Shannon's female coach in 2000? There's a blonde woman with Steve at Olympic Trials since Peggy was in Australia, but the commentators acted like she never existed.

Baby News

Didn’t see another open thread to put this in but perhaps we can add others whom are expecting here as well. I guess she for sure is not coming back anytime soon as Vasiliki Miloussi is expecting her first child with Eleftherios Petrounias..

I was wondering if anyone knows the status of some of these gymnasts that either competed elite or trained elite -
