Where is jordyn wiebers father

The same is true around the house with Lindsay, 24, a third-year medical student and Kyra, 12, playing soccer.

The parent shakes her head when broaching the subject of the stage moms she has met in gymnastics. Mom who will punish her kids. The Wiebers can only hope they have done it right as their daughter stretches her athletic boundaries on the cusp of celebrity. Jordyn, left, and Rita Wieber Courtesy photo.

She later qualified for the international elite in Jordyn Wieber has been in a romantic relationship with fellow Olympic gymnast Chris Brooks since On their respective Instagram accounts, the lovers post numerous photos of themselves.

As a junior, college, and senior elite gymnast, Chris worked alongside Olympic and World Championships medalist Jonathan Horton. Then, on August 17, , Chris announced his retirement from artistic gymnastics. Jordyn Wieber is 1. Jordyn, a professional gymnast, has a very flexible body that has been well trained for the sport. I cried a lot the last couple of days. Today I was just happy. David laughed and admitted he didn't react like his wife. The moment, the turnaround, the thrill of victory — it all came on him at once.

That was his girl singing the "Star Spangled Banner" down there. You're watching that and, they are playing the national anthem, and it's your daughter. It's not crying, but your eyes are watering. About 48 hours prior, they watched their year-old daughter's dream of winning individual all-around gold crumble.

Wieber produced the fourth-best qualifying score but finished behind fellow Americans Aly Raisman and Gabby Douglas.

Gymnastics rules state that only two athletes per country can advance. Wieber was a wreck. With the isolation of the Olympic Village and a tight training schedule, her parents could only exchange a few brief phone calls and texts. On Sunday, they rode the same train home full of concern, doubt and a parent's pain at knowing their child was hurting. Now it was late on Tuesday in London, and Wieber had rebounded brilliantly as part of a near-flawless team performance that saw the Americans run away with gold over the Russians.

It was a blowout And their daughter, once in tears, was now beaming with pride along with Raisman, Douglas, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney, the friends that lifted her up. So what did the Wiebers, of small DeWitt, Mich. They went drinking, took over part of the Union Square bar inside North Greenwich Arena with a measure of rowdiness not often seen in the demur worlds of gymnastics.

This was more like a Big Ten tailgate. At this point the Wieber backers were a London Underground train headed to a party hosted by Procter and Gamble, so the night wasn't ending soon. They certainly weren't going to let it. We're just happy," said David Wieber, who works in the health care related information technology field back in Michigan.

You celebrate. On Sunday, David and Rita felt helpless, knowing their daughter was frustrated and reeling. All they could do was continue to remind her that gymnastics, let alone something as precise as winning all-around gold, wasn't what her entire life was about.

She got to this level by maintaining perspective, balance and toughness in all parts of her life. This is a great sport but if things don't turn out the way you wanted it, you'll still have a great life. The Wiebers' faith in the team was overwhelming. They knew the others, such close friends, would help her.
