WTF?! Charlotte Pipe was the most “flairy” of all Seneca gymnasts. Neat skills but S-L-O-P-P-Y. She competed at ’88 Pacific Alliance and placed 12th at ’89 Canadian Nationals. I’m pretty sure her compulsories were horrid. Charlotte retired ‘91ish and unsuccessfully sued Carol Orchard-Angela for abuse. According to Janet Morin and Sarah Rainey, Carol was both physically and emotionally abusive. Janet was so scared of being around her it made her literally vomit. Carol moved to Britain and got married after Seneca closed down in ’08.
WTF?! Bars close much?
WTF?! “Meet me at the drive in for a tumble off BEE-ATCH!” Yeah it could happen...This doozy of a clip come from the 1986 movie “Dream to Believe aka Flying.” It also was one of Keanu Reeve’s (DUDE) first movies. Does their butch coach remind you of anyone? Hmmm. The following is a short plot summary:
Robin and her father have a car accident. Her father dies. Robin is badly injured and cannot compete in gymnastics tournaments anymore. Shattered dreams. She lives with her mother and bad step-father. Robin is accepted to the school athletics team but is not accepted by some other girls, so she works out at a friend’s house. Eventually Robin and her team compete in the national scholastic meet. Starring Olivia D’Abo.
