\"coperta<\/a>It came just in time for this summer\u2019s Olympics, which mark the fortieth anniversary of Nadia Comaneci\u2019s \u201cPerfect 10\u201d, as well as 10 years since the introduction of a new scoring system that made sure we will not see any more Perfect Tens in one of the most popular Olympic events.<\/p>\n

These are some of the themes\u00a0discussed by American journalis Dvora Meyers in her book, which is based on a dozens of exclusive interviews with professionals. Dvora, who practiced gymnastics<\/a> for 12 years, offers an insightful account of the controversial world of gymnastics and explains how the recent changes of the scoring system have influenced the sport, its hierarchies and the type of gymnasts that dominate it.<\/p>\n

Dvora answers questions that gymnastics fans have been asking since the last perfect score was handed out over twenty years ago. She reveals why successful female gymnasts are older and more athletic than they have ever been before, how the United States became a gymnastics powerhouse, and what the future of gymnastics will hold.<\/p>\n

At our conference, Dvora will talk more about the challenge of writing about niche topics and groups for broader audiences without oversimplifying them.<\/p>\n

Her\u00a0book will be\u00a0available at the conference. Register here<\/a> if you want to meet Dvora,\u00a0and maybe get your copy signed.<\/p>\n
