My roommate in medical school was a former elite level gymnast who trained with Bela Karoly in Houston. When she got too old for gymnastics she switched to diving and got a varsity scholarship to duke. She’s now a successful surgeon (though she broke her hand 4x diving). She was in swimming and gymnastics basically from the age of 3...when she got to med school the first year she said “I’m not going to work out this year.” Her first year off since age 3. After that year she said “I wonder how many v-ups I can do” and did about 70 in a row in the living room. Then she pulled the coffee table out of the way and did an aerial to see if she could still do it. She went back to recreational gym, but it’s really incredible the kind of talent and drive these excellent athletes have.
