a good price guide. Its small size makes it easy for the traveller to pack, and the organisation of the information
makes it quick and easy to use.

This is the first part of the autobiography of the international gymnastics star. He writes his own story well, hiding
none of the difficulties that he had to face, and he brings to life the heartaches, as well as the joys, of young
