The ideal gymnast would be between 4 feet 7 and 5-2. I wouldn't be able to pinpoint an ideal height, however. It would be foolish to say that a gymnast above 5-2 could not be great.

This team just wasn't good enough today, but they had the unity I always wanted. To have an American team like this has always been a dream of mine.
