great SPOT – coach Chad Buczek
Chad is coach and owner of Metro South Gymnastics Academy, Canton, Mass.
At a competition in Tennessee, 9-year-old gymnast Cherrish Remy barrels her way toward the vault and launches herself off the springboard, but she’s off the mark.
Luckily, her quick-acting coach Chad Buczek appeared out of nowhere and caught little Cherrish before her fall could go really badly.
“I instantly broke out into a sweat,” said the girl’s mother. “It’s definitely not the first time he’s saved her,” she continued, speaking of Coach Buczek.

Yeo Sejeong – Vault spot
The near coach is a terrific spotter. And he has a second coach spot on the other side for some vaults.
As one who likes double spotting, I appreciate this.

Olympian Kevin Penev interview
Kevin Penev was as surprised as anyone when he landed the best Vaults of his career and qualified on that apparatus to the Paris Olympics as an Olympian.
What Makes You Think has a new interview with Kevin on how that happened at Antwerp Worlds. And his life training in Bulgaria.
Kevin was the only gymnast in the Final not already qualified in some other way for Paris.
Therefore, he simply had to compete to get the ticket.
