Black was highlighted as showing fair play and compassion when the French gymnasts found out they did not qualify for the team final after subdivision 4 (9th out of 10 teams), Black (and Olsen) comforted MDJDS and was seen wiping away her tears.
The entire group of 7-12 qualifiers were all super supportive other each other during the AA finals. Watching them, even on TV, was awesome. Even though they were from 5 different countries, they cheered each other on like they were on the same team.
She is the most wonderful human. I have seen her at Gymnix International quite a few times, she has the biggest heart and takes time for everyone. Very glad more than the gym world sees how beautiful her heart is.
She's one of the ones I've always rooted for despite not caring for her style of gymnastics. She has always seemed like such a wonderful person. It is impossible not to love her. They couldn't have chosen a better winner for this prize.
