San Jose, CA – Simone Biles made history at SAP Center Sunday, becoming the first gymnast in history to win eight U.S. all-around titles.
This week, she and the other gymnasts competing in the Xfinity U.S. Gymnastics Championships had some extra special support to help cope with the stress that comes with competition.
Beacon is a 3-year-old Golden Retriever. He and his handler Tracey Callahan Molnar are part of USA Gymnastics’ new pet therapy program.
The program launched earlier this summer at a USA Gymnastics event in Indianapolis. The competition at SAP center was just the third event where therapy dogs were on site, offering gymnasts emotional support.
