[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else wonder if this is the real reason that Gabby wanted to quit earlier this year - that she couldn't deal with the stress and/or guilt of what her training was doing to the family finances?[/quote] I wonder how much visibility Gabby had into her family's finances. I.e., was her mom able to kind of hide the difficulties so Gabby could focus on gymnastics? And for Lochte - the articles I've seen don't indicate the parents bankruptcy is related to his training. Lots of homes in Florida are in foreclosure and it sounds like it may have been poor decisions on his parents' part. [/quote] Douglas is 16, while Lochte is 28. Please tell me he is supporting himself and the cost of his own training and not relying on his parents.[/quote] I'm the PP you quoted - that was my point - I assume his parents dug their own hole and it didn't have to do with his training.
