Can we get some actual news and insite instead of just repeating what everyone else can also see on Instagram??
like TRULY behind the scenes of training, coach interviews, vlogs from athletes, I mean the possibilities are endless. Let’s go folks. Maybe some people are worried about Jessica persecuting them like she’s the singular gymnastics law enforcement for the globe.
