Charlie update

Well, it was an eventful summer and fall and we wanted to bring all of Charlie's supporters up to speed. Charlie and his wife Nicole welcomed two little ones into their life over the summer- Anthony and Maryanne. Anthony is so strong- he can push himself out of all his bouncy's and chairs and Maryanne is so petite- it's already obvious they are gymnasts in the making!

After spending some time home in San Diego with the babies, it was back to training this fall. Charlie is now training at Universal Gymnastics in Miami, FL alongside Danell Leyva and coached by Yin Alvarez. He recently participated in a small competition where he placed 2nd on rings and won floor and vault. (Way to go Charlie!).

Charlie's next competiton is Luikin invitational in Texas at WOGA. He was also one of only 3 athletes chosen (out of 100 petitions!!) to compete at the upcoming Winter Cup in Las Vegas in February. We are so happy for Charlie and can't wait to cheer him on.

Charlie is also thrilled that the immigration process is moving along and his naturalization test is just around the corner- hopefully within the next four weeks.

He misses his friends, family and community in San Diego and when he gets the chance he Skypes with his 2 little ones!! Charlie thanks everyone who has been cheering him on and supporting his journey to his Olympic Dream.
