She was on the US Olympic national team at age 12-13, then had severe back injuries. Decided after recovery to focus on college gymnastics instead of national olympic gymnastics. She beat Gabby Douglas who was the 2012 All Around champion at the olympics before she retired from national competitions due to injury.

I don't follow gymnastics habitually, just when something turns up. But, I found it interesting that this gal is not the usual 88 lb pixie we expect to see during the Olympics.
