Stories with Steve Nunno- Origins of the Olympic Tour
We visited Steve Nunno and Emily Gaskins in West Palm Beach, Florida a couple months ago to film our Beyond the Routine featuring the duo and their gymnastics journey. Nunno is most well-known for his coaching accomplishments in the '90s as the coach of Shannon Miller, who is still America's most decorated gymnast.

Nunno shared a bunch of great stories from his earlier coaching days. However, as with any documentary, a lot of video gets left on the cutting room floor and many interesting stories didn't make it into the series. An anecdote that didn't make the cut was about the origins of the gymnastics post-Olympic tour.

Nunno actually came up with the idea of doing a gymnastics tour following 1992 Olympics and set it all up from a phone booth in Barcelona. Hear him tell the story below.


For more with Nunno and Gaskins, watch our Beyond the Routine series. Check out the trailer below:
