She told us about conditions at The Ranch back in the day, what it was like having Courtney McCool as a training partner, surviving the injury plagued 2003 World Championships, why the treatment of alternates should be changed, navigating college recruiting in an inhospitable club environment, how she was informed of her retirement from Alabama, being burnt-out, partying and wanting to be normal, what being the athlete rep for USA Gymnastics entails, how disputes are resolved within the selection committee, what she thought- Brenna Dowell's experience in Antwerp, those infamous GAGE leos, the Code, Memmell's petition denial in 2012, sweaty feet on bars and finally in this round of Gymternet Myth-busters we find out just what ethnicity Miss Humphrey really is!
