Welcome to another installment of Olympic delights, newsletter edition — or some order of all those words together but you get the picture. Today we’d like to talk about an Olympic hopeful that never was, Elizabeth McGuire. Once down and out about her conventional athletic skills until famous gymnastics coach Coach Kelly identified something special in her and encouraged her potential. They trained and pushed together, culminating in a regional championship where Elizabeth took home the gold, but the limelight turned out to be too much for her, and she decided to give it all up, forgoing her Olympic dreams. The only known footage of her skills here. Feel the rhythm on a Tuesday.
