British WAG (and MAG!) talk

[KorbutFan]

A surprising number of the British posters here have a gymnast on train story. My mother had a lovely chat with a relative of Josef Stalder's on the way to Glasgow worlds. And there's someone else, I want to say @KorbutFan?

Not me I’m afraid. The closest I ever got was receiving an angry PM from Becky Downie over something I once said.

Walking to the arena in Liverpool - my other half says 'hi Claudia'... I say to him 'who was that?' - he says 'Claudia Fragapone'. My work here is done but she is a midget!

I’ve been two feet from famous gymnasts. But I’ve never walked up to them and started talking to them. It would feel weird to do so if I had no reason to or hadn’t been introduced.

My brushes with gymnastics fame was meeting Boginskaya and Gutsu at the gym I trained at as a chitlin. Bogi also did a demo at my elementary school around the same time. This would've been after Barcelona and before Atlanta.
