About the Book

As female athletes in 1975, Robin and her teammates stood up and asked to be treated the same as the male athletes in their high school. Title IX was law, but it took more than a law to bring about equitable treatment. This is a gymnastics memoir by Robin Pederson Ruegg, a current USA Brevet nationally rated women's gymnastics judge. Read about her story as a gymnast at the dawn of her judging career.
About the Author: "Oh those gymnastics judges don't know what they are doing! I was robbed." Sound familiar? Well, that's what I thought too as an athlete in the mid-1970s. So I figured I'd fix the injustice by becoming a gymnastics judge who was fair, kind and knew what she was doing. Almost four decades later, I'm still working on being that gymnastics judge, but I've sure enjoyed the journey. I've judged high school state meets, USA Gymnastics state, regional and national meets, NCAA conference, regional and national meets and I WORKED ON THE FLOOR OF THE OLYMPICS in 1996. Yup, the Olympics. Who would guess that a mediocre gymnast from Burnsville, Minnesota could ever get that far? So besides judging gymnastics-which is a sideline avocation-I work as a senior manager for the federal government. I also like reading and doing short course triathlons from time to time.
