WAG Who am I thinking about?

[Jard.the.gymnast]

Quite a while back someone on here talked about a girl who went from cheer to elite. Who is this girl? I just thought about her and I'm curious how she is doing

I believe you are thinking of Laney Madsen. She plans to compete at worlds for Belarus as
her mom is from there and her dad is American.

Oops. Sorry. I meant she will be competing for Bulgaria.

I just looked her up...How long ago did she make the switch? She is AMAZING!

Yes, Laney Madsen is who I was thinking about. Thank you!

She decided to pursue gymnastics in 2013 I believe after being inspired watching the 2012 olympics. She qualified elite in 2017 and competed at the US Classics but did not qualify to nationals last year. I believe she decided that her best option of competing internationally was by competing for Bulgaria. Fascinating story...
