Did anyone know this?

Answer 1

Not surprised. A Chinese coach took Australia's team from nowhere to 11th in 2000 and now we're 6th overall.  

Answer 2

Coaches go all over the world now in 2000 our head coach at the AIS for Diving was also from China.

Answer 3

The Team USA coach is Martha Karolyi but all of the girls have different trainers.  That is Johnson's trainer, whom she's been with since she was little...-er.

Answer 4

I thought the women's Gymnastics' head coach is from Romania originally, Bartoly's wife. Then of course, Natsia has her dad as her trainer and coach from Russia originally, and Shawn's coach is from China originally.

Answer 5

That's just Shawn Johnson's coach.

The main coach and coordinator for the US team is from Romania, Marta Karolyi. Her husband coached Nadia Comaneci.

Nastia's coach/father is from the Soviet Union and won a gold medal for his country back in the 1988 Olympics.

A lot of international blood in the US women's team.

Answer 6

Yes! As he is Shawn Johnson's personal coach... from China. He started a gym in Des Moines, Ia and now is back to his roots in China trying to help Shawn win a gold medal. Along with the rest of the US team.

Answer 7

Marta Karolyi is the National Team Coordinator but Shawn's coach is originally from China.  

Answer 8

This is a good one wonder what the rednecks on yahoo will think of that
