It doesn’t say she is retiring. It says she will decide at a later time.

I hope she goes away forever because she has become a different person since daddy bought her medal.

Thanks for your comment Dave, I’ve not seen it myself as I wouldn’t be teaching a top standard of gymnastics but good to know that it does happen often enough. I’d imagine having your grips hand crafted would be expensive? But well worth it for the fit and confidence in the grips.

NOT unheard of. Our friend, Mario West, had the exact same thing happen at the Winter Cup a year and a half ago — High Bar was his first event, and it happened during warmups. It didn’t injure him badly, but it affected the whole meet.

Since then, he’s been going to a gentleman in Gaithersburg, MD named “Tien” (not sure of the spelling), who handcrafts his grips. Apparently, the Japanese and Chinese national teams both buy from this craftsman as well, and Mario seems to have more confidence in his grips.
