I have a program called PlayOn that will record streaming media and will save it on your hard drive. I recorded a ton of gym events from Paris last summer that way (like all of the RG, for example), all from the Peacock streams. I did record the LOI show, just haven't watched it yet...

Dominique Moceanu loved trained with Alexandrov. She gives him the full credit of coaching her up to Olympic level. The Karolyis told him one day, just like that, not to come back to their gym.

There's more to the story than just what's in that little clip. https://youtu.be/olF6SSe8XhE?si=GoaZLJ0-v9-3vDxd - Part I https://youtu.be/O-14PRDvv0E?si=-lqJq8zdgQoeusRM - Part II

Patterson was coached by Evgeny Marchenko.

I'm halfway through Dominique Moceanu's book, "Off Balance." Skinner really needs to read it. If she hasn't already. In Moceanu's case, they used their common heritage with her as a leverage, because she was being abused at home by her father when they claimed she wasn't working hard...

Khorkina won AA in 2003. Memmel tied Holly Vise for the bars title.
