Congratulations, Natasha Klimouk!

Kudos to North Shore Rhythmics coach Natasha Klimouk, who this month became a brevet-level international judge! The International Gymnastics Federation now allows each country to choose only 10 people to take this exam, which Natasha and the other nine U.S. candidates all passed. (Go, USA!) The two-part test includes 100 questions about the code of points and a practical exam in which candidates judge 14 routines and must submit a score within one minute. (In competitions, judges get 2 1/2 minutes per routine.) Natasha may now serve as a judge in any international competition. North Shore Rhythmics trains more national team members than any other club in the country.
