LOGIN FOR EXTENDED INTERVIEW Hana Ricna Interview Ricna is a Czechoslovakian two-time World medalist, 1988 Olympian and three-time Olomouc medalist (the Soviet organized Alternative Olympics in 1984). 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. She started gymnastics at age four and thinks she won her first pre-elite junior championship around age 8 (Czech papers reported she was 8. Ricna she said she thinks she was 9 but doesn't remember).

*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. National Team Camp This week Jessica is in Texas for US National Team Camp. We recorded with a live Club Gym Nerd member audince for reports from interviews and watching practice at camp.
