How To Raise An Olympian: Annia Hatch
"Despite becoming the greatest Cuban gymnast of all time and a double United States Olympic medallist, Annia Hatch’s career at first seemed doomed to fail. In 1996, when she was at the peak of her career, Cuba’s sporting authorities refused to let her to compete in the Atlanta Olympics. Following the greatest disappointment of her sporting life, Annia got married and emigrated to the United States where, after a five-year retirement, she became a double Olympic medallist at the unusually old age of 26. Annia and her mother, Maria Soto, talk to Yahoo about how this extraordinary athlete defied rejection from the gymnastics institute; overcame injuries, bullying and racism; and even how she became another bone of contention between Cuba and the United States."
Tips for Dealing With, Spring Allergies.

lead to more
than itchy eyes
and a runny nose.
They can also trigger other significant health issues, such as an asthma attack.
These five strategies will help to mitigate your allergies so that you can enjoy the great outdoors.

sometime other than morning.
Your highest pollen counts are typically in the morning when the sun starts coming up, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo.
2, Be mindful of the weather.
Asthmatics especially can have severe reactions if they go out after a thunderstorm, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo.
3, But a light, spring shower is a
great time do your workout.
Rainfall pushes the pollen down. So working out during a light rainfall might be one of the best times to be outdoors when you have allergies, Melanie Carver, Asthma and Allergy Foundation
of America, via Yahoo.
4, Make sure to cover
both your hair and eyes.
This helps to reduce the amount of pollen
that gets into your eyes and hair. .
5, Begin your allergy
medication regimen early.
You want to start your medications a couple of weeks before the spring season and not wait until you start getting all congested and start having symptoms, because it won’t work as well, Dr. Mark Corbett, American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, via Yahoo
