03.11.2025 17:03 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It means so much to me when gymnastics parents reach out because Iโve said something on air that they felt did justice to their child. I love researching athletes and trying to tell their stories. The clear issue here is that I donโt have the necessary scientific vocabulary to explain Jamesโ life ๐!
