Initially I thought that this might mean an end to her international career, but the article does say that she will stay on the national team, so that is good news. Some international gymnasts such as Daria Bijak have maintained their international careers while competing in the NCAA. The team environment of NCAA can be very motivating, however, I believe there is a limit to the amount that athletes can train while competing in the NCAA. I think this is about 20 hours per week, which is much less than most international gymnasts train. Still, it will be interesting to see how she progresses and we wish her the best of luck.
