By A Customer
This review is from: Gold Medal Glory: The Story of America's 1996 Women's Gymnastics Team (Paperback)
This book was very informative and told me everything I wanted to know about the Mag 7. The dedication of these gymnasts is amazing. As a gymnast myself, I understood the hardships of this great sport, such as missing many social events and being in pain alot. Even if you are not a gymnast, this book will make a sure fan out of you. A great book.
