Coming out of “retirement” after 6 years, it was a bit of a shock to have to STUDY again for the quadrennial exam.
Every 4 years (Olympic cycle) all the Gymnastics judges in the world need re-certify.
I crammed perhaps 50 hours of study over 8-9 days. Managed to pass the exam in Montreal.
I’m again a “National” judge, eligible to judge National Championships.
