Picture it – International Gymnastics Camp, 1994. Chainey Umphrey is coaching me during my ring rotation which is by far my weakest event. I’m warming up and hit a straddle back uprise to an immediate fart which I’m fairly certain all of the Poconos could hear. Without missing a beat, Chainey says to me “You don’t really like rings very much, do you?” No sir, no I do not.
