Hezly Rivera moved to North Texas to train under some of the best gymnastic coaches in hopes of making Team USA.
Hezly Rivera has a grueling schedule with six hours of training a day and hours of school in between. For the chance to make Team USA, the Plano resident said she is willing to do anything.
"I know that anything is possible, so if I keep working hard in the gym, I know that I can achieve anything. My family made the commitment to come here and moved here just so that I could train," Rivera said.Valeri co-owns World Olympic Gymnastics Academy in Plano. It's the home of three Olympic champions. One of them, is the Liukin's daughter, five-time Olympic medalist, Nastia Liukin.
She won her first senior division gold at the 2024 Winter Cup on beam and at that same competition, she won bronze on the floor exercise and all-around. While she has accomplished so much, she said obviously, it's the Olympics that is the ultimate honor. "You have all this weight on your shoulders and all of this stress. So I like to let it go because that was in the past and now we want to move forward. That's just how I look at it even when something doesn't go right."
