NY Times Video: "A Heavy Load"
Almost three years ago, my life was busy with my three kids, my gymnastics business, Roach Gymnastics,Inc., and re-election campaigns for my husband, Dan Roach.

I remember the day well when I turned to my husband and said, “I Have an Idea!” That idea was to return to weightlifting after taking five years off, and pursue my Olympic Dream. Now, here I am only weeks away from securing a spot on the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team that will compete this summer in China at the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

I would not be in this position without a lot of help, so thank you to my coach, sponsors and everyone supporting me, especially my husband and three kids!

Our first Olympic qualifying event took place a this years National Championships in Columbus, OH. I won my 8th National Championship and my total gave me the #3 spot on our four woman team! The Olympic Trials will be held in Atlanta, GA, May 16- 17th, where I will defend my spot on the U.S. Olympic Team

Thank you for all of your support! A number of you have asked how you can donate to help with training and travel costs. I have set up a paypal account for that purpose. I couldn’t do this without all of the wonderful help from my family, friends, fans and sponsors!

Thanks again for visiting,
Melanie Roach
