It's my new favorite gym related photo! She was judging at the Woga Classic last weekend, and was incredibly nice and gracious. When I approached her for the photo and we looked around for spot to take it I said "You know, when I saw that vault, my jaw dropped too. You mind if we pose like that?" and she laughed and agreed. After she said "Seriously though, what a great vault, right?" Yes indeed :)

At the Olympics for reference:

Sunday night at the Dr Pepper arena:

I realize on a huge site like this one I may have outed myself, but this was too good to keep to myself and only the people present :)
 
LOL I totally forgot about that, probably in her purse! I'd totally save that as an Olympic souvenir if I were her.
 
Love it...thanks for sharing. I assume you recognized her from tv?

Actually a coworker of mine did, we freaked out a little and then decided we had to meet her. We saw her at a party Saturday night and got pictures, then my phone went crazy and I had to restore it and back it up. Photos gone, I thought I'd blown it and was so mad at my phone! Then I saw her on Sunday and was redeemed!
 
Shoot! I talked to her Sunday night and didn't even realize how close I was to fame. LOL. I saw her give Marchenko a hug and just figured he knew all of the judges.
 
Now we need a picture of you with Maroney and her unimpressed face!

One of the parents at our gym told me to photoshop Mckayla in with her unimpressed face LOL! I would if I knew how!

That is incredibly awesome! Almost better than meeting Makayla herself.

I'm a big fan of all the Olympians and gymnasts in general of course, but Mckayla is the only one I've ever thought "Man I would love to have coffee and hang out with her!"

Great picture and what a good sport she is to pose with her jaw dropped!! Love it!

For sure, I can't emphasize enough how friendly she was and how cool it was of her to go there with a random person!

Don't feel bad, I didn't know her at first either! It took sharper eyes than mine or a faster brain to put it together and tell me haha. I was just the guts to ask for the pose in our judge opportunity equation heh.

Sunday was a great night! Were you there the whole evening? I was there for the level 7's only, the last session. Houston Stars Gymnastics were great, seeing them for the first time was a treat. They were all very fun to watch, but my favorite routine has to be Luisa Blanco's floor. Her music was used by a lot of gymnasts present, she was dancing her routine to it when she'd hear it it with this big smile on her face. Floor was her last rotation, she put a fork in it, it was done!
 
and that would be Cheryl Hamilton. she is awesome and 1 of the finest people i know in our industry.:):):)
