Jan 11, 2014

Saturday night's Florida-UCLA women's gymnastics meet marked the return of the Bruins' Samantha Peszek to competitive action. The redshirt junior missed all of last season with an achillies injury. She certainly wasn't alone in her return, with all of her teammates competing with her, and there was even an old friend in the gym. Florida's Bridget Sloan and Peszek both grew up in Indiana and trained together before representing the USA in the 2008 Olympics and earning a silver medal. Watch the video below to learn more about their friendship and rivalry.
