Meet the college students covering the 2016 Olympic Games

Anna Joy Batchelor powdered her hands and practiced her balance on the beam for 14 years. Despite a broken wrist and several other injuries, she flipped and landed, stretched and twirled for the love of her sport. But she realized when she was eight that most gymnasts don’t make it to the Olympics.

In college, she threw herself into something else she loves, broadcast journalism. Now, her reporting career is taking her to the gymnastics arena of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
