Alexandra Orlando is an Olympic athlete who dedicated seventeen years of
her life to the sport of rhythmic gymnastics, winning almost two hundred
medals. Despite injury, she competed at the Beijing Olympic Games in
2008, and retired from the sport at the age of twenty-one as one of the top
ten gymnasts in the world.
Her incredible story is one of struggle and strength. Through it all, her
family and friends watched the sport consume her; and every person that
came into her life was affected by the constant fight for perfection, and
the mental and physical exhaustion. Those who had the strength never left
her side. And when the dust settled, a woman emerged who was stronger
than she ever thought she could be. Reflecting back on her life as "Alex the
Gymnast," Alexandra takes a deeper look on who she was during her career,
who she had to be, and how this made her the person she is today.
