Miss Val speech

Coach Valerie Kondos-Field talks about winning the 2018 NCAA Gymnastics title to friends and family at Bruin Plaza, in the middle of the UCLA campus.
The first minute or so is out of focus, but great after that.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

The greatest comeback in sport history

[@loganbruin]

I liken it to 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, down by 3, bases loaded, 0-2, walk off grand slam to win the world series. ;o)

[@d.miller7369]

I think it's more like down three, two outs in the ninth, bases empty, then three home runs in a row on the first pitch.

Ella es un ángel

[@2021kyoto]

The unbelievable thing was,Valorie Kondos Field was one of the most successful coaches;however was never a gymnast.UCLA recruited her when she was a classical dancer.

[@loganbruin]

Back then it wasn't a prestigious post. The former coach hired her to help with the dancing in the floor routines and one thing led to another... 😉
