Could her daughter be taking after her in the event her mom won a gold medal in? Quite possibly!
The Olympic gold medalist recently posted a video of “babies first time on a balance beam”:
“(S)he went straight for the foam pit 😂. @drewhazeleast @andrewdeast @thefamilyeast #babies #parenting #gymnastics #gymnast,” Johnson East said in the post.
