Gymmin' Miel!

The media has been in a frenzy with more articles relating to United States gymnasts Jordyn Wieber and Samuel Mikulak emerging. Alongside of Mikulak, his University of Michigan team mate Syque Caesar, who will be representing Bangladesh also is profiled. 

In an article on The Sacramento Bee website, which you can read here, has a great profile on Jordyn and what happened in her lead up to to the last Camp at the Karolyi Ranch before flying to London. A great read and it is lovely to see the amount of support in which she is getting.

The Michigan Daily's feature on Mikulak and Caesar is a fantastic read where you get to learn a bit more about both gymnasts and also has a fantastic picture of them both in the gym.

An article from AnnArbor.com has a lovely feature on the realization of dreams for University of Michigan coaches Kurt Golder and Geoff Corrigan. You can read the full article here but I would like to wish Golder and the gymnast who he will be coaching - Samuel Mikulak, and Corrigan and Bangladesh representative Quazi Suque Caesar the best of luck. From the article: 

University of Michigan Sophomore Samuel Mikulak, who will be competing in Seattle at the 2012 Pacific Rim Gymnastics Championships this weekend, has been named the National Gymnast of the Week today after his performance against the University of Oklahoma on the 10th of March. Mikulak took the All Around title and was first on three events. Sam won the Parallel Bars (15.900), Horizontal Bar (15.250), and Pommel Horse (14.600), was third on the Still Rings (14.950) and Floor Exercise (15.200), and fourth on the vault (15.600), plus scored 90.300 in the All Around, outscoring the Nation's top All Arounder Jacob Dalton.
