Deerfield resident, Susan Bromberg( co-coach-Donna O'Brien), Christina's club coach, who coached Christina many years at Windy City Diving. Eight years ago, we were in Moultrie, Georgia, sitting in a hotel room at a national meet, and watched the Athens 2004 Opening Ceremonies. Susan said to Christina, "next Olympics, you will be there"! And she was in Beijing and now she is competing in London today! Susan, thank you for your belief!

Now, off to the pool!
