ANSWERS!
1. C. As Sloan told GymCastic in an interview this past week, sleeping is her favorite pastime. After gymnastics, of course.
2. A. Any parent probably could have told you this, I suppose. Mary Lee said it in the first episode of Gymnastike's new series, "Behind the Routine."
3. D. Some things you just can't make up. Bekah from Get A Grip Gymblog mentioned this in her latest NCAA vlog.
4. C.
5. C. Not yet, anyway. Tunney did compete at the 2012 American Cup, and given that she fell off the beam three times during her routine, would probably love another bite at the apple. Two women are still to be named to the roster.
6. D.
7. Trick question -- none of the above. All the gymnasts listed have come out of retirement and made a comeback.
8. C. 2010 U.S. champ Bross recently told Gymnastike she's not entirely sure about her future in the sport, but that she's considering continuing.
9. C. We think. Iordache is on the nominative list for the French International in March, but then again, so is Diana Chelaru, who retired in the fall. So it's hard to say whether she'll actually compete.
10. D. 2012 Olympian Golob, who is studying to be a doctor, did gymnastics for Towson University for a year. Zonderland has said he would have liked to compete in the American NCAA, but had already become a professional (and thus NCAA-ineligible) athlete by the time he really considered it.
