Minnesota gymnast headed to Olympics relies on hard work, trust in God
CHAMPLIN, Minn. (CNS) — The Twin City Twisters in Champlin is the home gym of Grace McCallum, a member of the 2018 World Championship U.S. gymnastics team.
A large banner hangs over the facility’s main entrance honoring that accomplishment. But her supporters are hoping the gym will soon need a new banner that reads, “Home of Grace McCallum, 2020 Olympic Gold Medalist.”
McCallum was selected at the conclusion of the U.S. Olympic Trials in St. Louis June 27 to be part of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team heading to the Tokyo Summer Games, which start July 23.
