Research - Article Topics

 Hello Beautiful People! I've decided that my two-page article is going to be about gymnastics! I'm still not sure if the whole magazine will be gymnastics or general sports. Either way, I have to figure out what the topic of the article will be, so, I've done some research on gymnastics magazine articles to see what I can write about. 


The December 2025 edition of Inside Gymnastics had multiple two-page spread articles about different topics. The first one I read was about one specific athlete, Joscelyn Roberson, and her training and skills this past season. It included a lot of quotes from interviews with both her and her coach. It didn't mention anything about her team or anyone else since it was entirely centered around her. 




Another article I found in that same magazine was about the Team USA mens's team, specifically their performance in the 2024 Olympics. Since the team was made up of 5 people, they wrote about all 5 athlete's performances and contributions to the team at the Olympics. This one only had one quote from one of the athletes and didn't mention any of the coaches. 



The next article is from the December 2023 edition of Inside Gymnastics. This one is about Simone Biles and her performance at the 2023 World Championships. This article listed Biles' achievements and performance at the competition, then went on to describe the second place winners, and briefly listed their scores and achievements. It also included a short quote from Biles that was separate from the main article. 





Overall, I noticed the most common practice is to have the article be about one athlete, and their performance/experiences at a specific competition, so I think that's what I'm going to do.
