Every single athlete on the nation's best female gymnastics team is younger than Katie by at least five years. The team's youngest member, Ivana Hong, is a mere 15 years old & therefore a stunning 10 years behind Katie. And although Chellsie Memmel & Alicia Sacramone are the team's most elderly members, topping out at the big 2-0, they're still a good half a decade behind Ms. Dochen.
Don't discount Katie's job as a conference planner as being an easier than the jobs of these career gymnasts: Dealing with hotel accomodations and busing schedules can be a balancing act of an entirely different genre! And although Katie could certainly provide these adolescent gymnasts with the sage wisdom of her quarter century, these youngsters do have a leg up on her in one area -- what they lack in age, they make up for in fully functional feet.
