meliaraastiar 's review for:
I Got This: To Gold and Beyond
by Laurie Hernandez
Laurie was 16, which is the minimum age of a gymnast at the Olympics. She was an incredibly talented gymnast and I’m a little sad she turned 16 the year of the Games. The girl has so much potential and I think she’s not going to end up continuing in gymnastics. Even one year later and I think she would have beaten out Gabby for the all around spot in Rio. Not that Gabby wasn’t a good gymnast, Laurie was just the baby on the team.
This book was a super light read and a pretty simple recap of her story. Glad I read it, but for a deeper look into the gymnastics world, I’d recommend Aly Raisman’s book instead.
I’ll go 8 of 10 for enjoyment and 5 of 5 for readability. Quick read, and I’m interested to see where Laurie ends up over the next few years. She’s a great young woman and it’ll be interesting to see who and what she becomes after gymnastics.
