PREVIEW and PODIUM TRAINING on Wednesday
Wednesday the first podium training was held in the Pavillion 3 A of the "Riocentro Complex", the main area of these Pan Am Games.
First impressions:
While there were no fancy leotards, the participants looked beautiful and accomplished. Not having the European superstars here so it's possoble to have a different perspective on the status and the level of Rhythmic gymnastics in the Americas.
Almost every country has possibilities to finish well; either in group or individual exercise.
In a good athletic form are the two representatives of the USA, Lisa Wang and Julie Zetlin, but lso impressive was Alexandra Orlando of Canada.
