I read the book when it came out and kind a felt sorry for her, she had a miserable time. However, I hated her contribution to Athelete A with a passion (still do) WTF is she to talk for Kerri? That is what made that docu wothless to me, her narrating how Kerri made her decision and how she felt...

Ok a note in between. I was training at Turning Spirit with Stasja at the time and I remember things somewhat different. At Nationals I was there when Stasja met Gerrit as we were on the same team. I did not understand her reaction to him. After nationals Stasja wanted to go back to Gerrit but...

In Amerika again After the holidays Stasja flies back to Oklahoma City. Things are not going well. Her hip starts hurting so much that she cannot sleep at night, especially the pain in her groin is horrible! One day when she gets out of bed she notices that her hip is very swollen, it looks...

Stasja (1993-1994) The feeling that Stasja wanted to quickly work on her comeback is completely gone; she doesn't want anything to do with gymnastics anymore. Otto assured her that she is very welcome to train at Turning Spirit, and he even offers to help find a high school, but she isn't...

The Youth European Championship The competition begins, Gerrit has set his sights on a final spot on the uneven bars. Simone is very nervous, and to conserve her energy, she asks Gerrit to prepare the top bar for her. The light turns green, and Simone presents herself to the judges and...
