Over the last few weeks to a month, there have been some simply awesome news nuggets on Colombian Olympian Jessica Gil Ortiz! The articles in which I am referring to, are: firstly, the article from The Latin American Herald Tribune entitled U.S.-Colombian Gymnast Overcame Obstacles to Reach Olympics, From Associated Press on the 26th of June, and published on Yahoo! Noticias Colombia, is the article entitled Desde Miami, colombiana Gil ambiciona una final en gimnasia. And from ElPais.com.co an article from May the 28th entitled 'Naci para ser gimnasia':  Jessica Gil, con cupo a Juegos Olimpicos' with related video which you can either view as a part of the article or can see on Youtube! Thanks to Youtube channel ElColombianoTeVe here. Definitely check them out. 

Okay, now I sincerely apologize because I do not speak Spanish and therefore I am unable to translate what is said in the video.My friend Taijaneissa, who is my Spanish speaking guru directed me to the link, which you will find below, as she loves this show (El Show de Fernando Hidalgo)! However, she is at College all day today and will not be able to do it, until I hunt her down! Anyways, it's really lovely to watch, of course the focus appears to be on Danell and Yin, however there are some adorable up and comers who demonstrate their skills! Looks like a lot of fun and lovely to see a large number of the Universal Gymnastics community whom it looks as though turned out for the taping. Even if you cannot understand Spanish, make sure you watch it to check out Danell Leyva's dance ability!
