Truth: I love Samantha Pezsek’s gymnastics.  No doubt about that.

I am extremely sad to see her pulling out of worlds, but I understand completely that she needs to heal.  I fully support her decision, especially seeing she becomes a Bruin very soon!  I am proud of her for making this difficult decision.  While I am disappointed that we won’t be seeing her on the world stage again in the near future, I do hope she continues with elite gymnastics, although this would be a tough decision.  I feel that she didn’t get the Olympics she deserved, with being injured so shortly before.  She really needs to go out on a high note.  Her gymnastics is probably one of my favorites in a long time, and her personality is just as good!  Heal fast, Sam! (But not too fast; I don’t want you to rush it!)
