University of Florida gymnast Trinity Thomas scored a perfect 10 on the uneven bars in a Jan. 24, 2020, match against Louisiana State University.The hard work for Thomas includes four-hour practices four days a week plus conditioning practices on the other days during the college season, on top of her studies as an applied physiology and kinesiology major.
The match during which Thomas scored her perfect 10 took place on Jan. 24 against rival Louisiana State University in front of a sold-out crowd at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida."I just remember before each event when they said my name the entire O-Dome [O'Connell Center] would almost shake a little bit because of the screams," Thomas recalled."I just took that energy because that was really special for me.
The competition and the chance to compete in the 2020 Olympics are a dream come true for Thomas, who started taking gymnastics classes at age seven.
