Found this interview hugely encouraging and inspiring.

**SPOILERS**
Tina Wise a competative level 9 gymnast at 42 years old! Started Gymnastics at 10, quit because of injury at 14.
Went back to Gymnastics at 28 to a very different sport. As someone learning giants and swing etc at 25 I found this video gave me a lot of hope for the future. Hard work and determination combined with a love for the sport.
