This article was in my local paper yesterday:

In 1966, a 14-year-old gymnast named Hali Sheriff was killed in a plane crash (along w/ her parents and others). Coached by her mother, she was apparently a prodigy, far ahead of her time...
It's a really sad story, but fascinating as well. Toby Towson also trained at her club, and is quoted extensively in the article.
The best gymnast you never heard of
