It was right after 2013 classics, which Simone completely bombed.

It definitely happened pre Olympics too

Okay I didn’t remember any one on one training with Marta for Simone that wasn’t directly related to 2016. Obviously anything ca. 2013 wasn’t on my mind. Just IMO the psychologist appointments helped her the most and set her up for additional help she needed later.

I am actually surprised Al Fong started Lavi Crain in elite last year. Normally he would wait until the olympic cycle where the junior is eligible for olympics, and Crain won't turn senior until 2026.

What I find really remarkable about Lavi is how classically GAGE her gymnastics is, yet she moved from some gym in Idaho to GAGE in the summer of 2021 as a level 9. Whoever taught her basics did an outstanding job.

I think she was at Avant Coeur which may be in the only part of Idaho I would not rather die than live in.
