JEUX OLYMPIQUES COMPLIQUÉS, MAUVAIS TRAITEMENTS, PERFS et BLESSURES ft. Mira Boumejmajen

A member of the French gymnastics team at the London 2012 Olympic Games and multiple European finalist, Mira Boumejmajen left her mark on the previous generation of French gymnasts 🤸🏼‍♀️ Today, she's the guest of Saltos et Mojitos to talk to us about all of this: her late but healthy rise to the top level, her performance period at the French pole in Marseille, then her complicated transition to INSEP. We'll also discuss the questionable behavior of her Parisian coaches, the injuries, complicated remarks, and difficult moments she went through, then the team's poor performance at the London Olympics, how she experienced it and what she and her team endured. Finally, she'll talk to us about the painful and gradual end of her career, which ended with an injury, before telling us about her new career as a high-level coach. So, grab your mojitos, and let's gooo! For those who don't know me, I'm Alisson Lapp, a former member of the French gymnastics team from 2015 to 2019, now "semi-retired" at 23 years old. My goal is to shed light on the behind-the-scenes of elite sport, the good and the bad.
