Auburn gymnastics head coach Jeff Graba said as he went from coaching at Midwest Gymnastics with his twin brother to Utah as an assistant coach and is now in his 14th year at the helm of the Auburn program "You are a little bit more constrained on time He put it this way: His brother coached Olympian Suni Lee from fourth grade to the present and he was the one who would pay for any mistakes in technique and they're already coming in developed with the likes of Junior Olympic or International Elite credentials and now you have to change the rules and change the routines "What we accent in college is different than what they accent in other programs," Graba said Biles said Canqueteau-Landi knows it takes sacrifices and repetition to reach goals in gymnastics and creating specific training programs catering to individual interests they're going to compete 15 times in 13 or 14 weeks and they're in an older gymnastics body that's been through a lot and a lot more taking what you have and trying to make it more consistent you could spend four years developing a skill." "I had some really good advice from my boss and a basketball coach when I left Utah you've learned from a lot of good people around you Now it’s time for Canqueteau-Landi and Roberts to trust their guts as they look to halt the downhill slope the program has been on 2-11 against top 25 ranked teams and 0-4 on the road 18+ | Commercial Content | T&Cs apply | Gambleaware.org For the first time in

south of the venue is the Huveaune RIver The stadium itself is located in the neighbourhoods of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Giniez getting to the stadium should be no problem with various bus services stopping off right beside the stadium The other option of transport to the stadium for fans is the Metro and there are two stations (Rond-Point du Prado or Sainte Marguerite Dromel) of the Marseille Metro Line 2 that are close to the venue Brighton fans will find themselves sitting in between the Virage Nord and the Tribune Ganay in the lower tier Supporters looking to get to those stands will be looking to get off at the Sainte-Marguerite Dromel station Extra trains and buses are put on the timetable on matchdays If you are planning to fly in late on 5 October and want to travel straight from

stay in Marseille the closest hotel to the stadium is the Mercure Marseille Centre Prado Velodrome The four-star hotel charges €146 a night so it is more on the expensive side if the away fans wanted to treat themselves If you are looking for a cheaper alternative but want to stay as close as possible to the stadium so you can save on travel expenses then the ibis Styles Marseille Centre Prado Castellane is the best option Hotel Edmond Ronstand is also a cheaper option at €85 per night As it is a very popular tourist destination Marseille hotel prices aren't going to be much cheaper than
