Madison Kocian, Alyssa Baumann: One Year To Rio
WOGA gymnasts Madison Kocian and Alyssa Baumann were featured in a news segment highlighting their path to the 2016 Rio Olympics. Watch the video below:
In the video, Kocian is not shy about her goals and she states, "I want to make the 2016 Olympic team next year."
Both gymnasts recently competed at the Secret U.S. Classic. Baumann placed sixth all-around and Kocian earned first on bars. The next step on this path for both gymnasts is next weekend's P&G Championships, which serves as the U.S. national championships.
In the video, Kocian can be seen practicing a Yurchenko double full on hard landing and it is a good sign that we will see her in the all-around next weekend. Kocian hasn't competed all four events since the qualifications at last year's World Championships, but even then she only performed a Yurchenko full on vault.
