We don't mind giving Jutta Leerdam the attention she deserves. She's a top level athlete in what you may consider to be a more obscure sport since you don't live in parts of Europe where it's a normal sport. It's up there with Cross-Country skiing in not really being the most relevant, brand friendly, sponsorship heavy or televised sports, at least not in the 3 year blocks between Olympics.
However, the internet changes these things, because not that long ago, college gymnastics was just another way for people to get scholarships or a free-ride, but nothing really important until Livvy Dunne changed that.
It comes down to the marketing prowess of one or more of the athletes involved in the sport to give it a whole new life.
So as we approach the season, Jutta takes us on her training journey and we're excited to see more of her records get broken, because she is that good!
