I train at KIPS Center for Fitness and
Gymnastics in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
I train four hours a day Monday
through Friday. I am coached by one
Russian and one Chinese. The Russian
is Viktor Firsov. He was a Russian
National Team Coach, Olympic and
World Cup Team Coach, and coached
and mentored Vladimir Artemov
(1988 Olympics Men's All-Around
Gymnastics Champion). Vladimir is a
former coach of KIPS. The Chinese
coach is Wei Huang; she was the
Chinese National All-Around
Women's Gymnastics Champion,
Chinese National Beam Champion,
and competed in the World
Championship. I have competed for
seven years on the KIPS Heartbeat
Team. I started gymnastics at 18 months
at KIPS and I am still in it at the age of
13!! I love it then and I love it now!!
