Good luck Houry! Proud of you….
Good on you. It is a great honour to represent your country. Nevwr give up. Congratulations, Bravo.
The physical stresses a gymnast’s body goes through is insane. And the level has picked over the decades. You can see it in the musculature on the athletes. 26 is older than the other athletes but that also has experience behind it. Good luck and looking forward to seeing you at the Olympics.
Houry, should you qualify, we should get CBS, or whoever is covering the Olympics, to do a special story segment on you. You are unique, and that’s something worth telling.
