It was the team finals of women's gymnastics in the 2012 Olympics, and McKayla Maroney was on top of her game. The 16-year-old US gymnast was performing arguably the best vault of all time, launching herself unimaginably high into the air and sticking a flawless landing. When her score came, many were baffled: 16.233. Three-tenths of a point stood between her and a perfect score. If that vault wasn't perfection, what was?

Book's great--reader's performance is TERRIBLE
Revisado: 12-14-18
Meyers' book is well-researched and interesting, but I wish I hadn't used an Audible credit on it and had instead borrowed or purchased a printed copy! The reader's performance is absolutely atrocious. As at least one other reviewer has noted, her voice sounds at times like a computer, which is strange. And her pronunciation of the gymnasts' and coaches' names are cringe-worthy enough that I almost quit listening several times. Martha Karolyi pronounced "Martha" instead of "Marta," Dominique Moceanu pronounced "Mose-anu," Mary Lou "Redden" instead of "Retton..."
I'd recommend reading this one instead of listening to it for sure!
