Sirena Linton's gymnastics career has had its ups and downs. The junior balance beam specialist followed her sister into the sport as soon as she was able and she fell in love.
“I actually watched my half-sister go into the gym a lot, and I would watch her just practice and I really wanted to join,” Linton said. “And I always told my mom, ‘When is it my turn?’ I was like, ‘When am I going to go in and have my time to go flip on the mat?’”
Her time came before she was in elementary school and has taken her to the height of her sport.
