She took second all-around at Olomouc to Soviet great, Mostepanova. The stadler tkatchev is named after her; a skill used often by the current generation of elites. Her son competed for Stanford gymnastics and Czech Republic at the Rio Olympics. Her daughter just finished her senior year on the Stanford gymnastics team, where she performed her mom's floor routine in tribute.

How came to be and what she thinks of the way her skill is performed now All the trouble she got into and wild things she did as a young gymnast Skills she trained, including a tucked full on beam and a full twisting Hindorf Her shoulder dislocation on vault at the 1986 Ahoy Cup in Rotterdam and subsequent surgeries Her experience post-injury at the 1988 Seoul Olympics What the Czech athletes were told about the boycotted 1984 Olympic Games Competing at the legendary, famed, holy grail of gymnastics, the alternative-Olympics in her home country, the Olomouc Friendship Games The great Czech Olympic Champion, Vera Caslavska as a coach and friend Reflects on how she was trained and fueled in the 80's What she would change about her elite training now that she has coached for 30 years The divergent attitudes of her gymnast children - Stanford, World Championships and a Rio Olympian who was obsessed with Kohei.

Live From 2024 National Team Camp 02/06/2024

Live From 2024 National Team Camp *UPDATE We have edited our discussion of Jordan's floor routine story, not Jordan's quote. Why did we do this? Because there were too many misinterpretations of our discussion online. We have heard from USAG that staff are receiving threats. We find this abhorrent! To be crystal clear: The input Jordan received was not from a person within USAG, which we have confirmed. Jordan said “it wasn’t USA” and “not…USAG”. USAG informed us they first learned of the suggested routine change when we shared the clip on the podcast. In our commentary following Jordan’s statements, we were not trying to blame anyone indirectly involved. We were attempting to highlight the lessons from the BLM movement. Jordan is very excited about her new routine and we have no doubt she will bring all of herself into the routine when it’s performed. We will share more thoughts on our shows Friday and Monday.
