The official photographer is out of Couer d’Alene this year, GWGFoto

We had 5 shooters working all weekend. The result — over 55,000 pics!

(… do you know how long it takes to upload 55,000 photos to the cloud? )

Some are unique. From terrific angles.

But how do you get photos after the competition?

Email GWGFoto@yahoo.com. We can sort through your Session and apparatus to find your gymnast.

BIG SHOW Video HIGHLIGHTS

The BIG SHOW is more of a “show” than an apparatus finals. Bright lights, LIVE band, lotsa noise — something similar to NCAA excitement for Levels 7, 8, 9 and 10. Gymnasts compete one-at-a-time, LIVE on the big screen. That’s pressure.

Olympians include Terin Humphrey, Mohini Bhardwaj, Daniela Silivas, Joyce Tanac-Schroeder and Kyle Shewfelt.
