Cleveland Scene interviews Nina Mandell, author of the upcoming book A Fraction of a Point: A Gymnastics Dynasty on the Line.

“I hope people enjoy the story about how strong and how incredible these gymnasts are to uphold a legacy that started before they were born,” [Mandell] says when asked about what she hopes readers get from her book. “There is a lot of focus on mental health and sports and the pressure we put on ourselves and our kids. It’s an incredible story about the [Ganim] family too. I have covered a lot of sports events, and that state final was the most exciting final event I have ever been to.”—Cleveland Scene
