}} Charlotte Frances Drury (born June 4, 1996) is an American trampoline gymnast. At the 2014 Minsk World Cup, she finished atop the podium in the individual event, becoming the first American woman to win a gold medal in trampoline at a World Cup. That same year, she was crowned national champion at the USA Gymnastics Championships. She has been a member of the US Trampoline and Tumbling National Team since 2011, looking to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. ==Early life== Drury began artistic gymnastics at age three. When she was around five years old, she started practicing at the (National Gymnastics Training Center ) in nearby Aliso Viejo, California. It was there she first met future best friends McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross. Together they worked their way up the levels, eventually completing level 10 at (Gym-Max Gymnastics ) in Costa Mesa, California. However, when it came time to commit to continuing at the elite level, she soon realized her enthusiasm for artistic had waned. "I was in artistic gymnastics from 3 to 13," Drury said. "And it’s not that I didn’t still love artistic. I just didn’t have the same passion. I was healthy but in my heart I just didn’t have the drive for artistic gymnastics anymore. I didn’t have the passion to push myself anymore." Still needing an outlet for her energy, she was encouraged to find something else to stay busy. "That first day (after leaving artistic) I was bouncing off the walls and I remember my mom saying ‘You need to do something or you’re going to drive me insane,’" Drury recalled. That night she showed up at a trampoline class. "That first time it was like ‘this is where I’m supposed to be. This is home.’" Drury said.〔 She began training at (Team OC Gymnastics ) in Costa Mesa, California and within her first year was competing at level 9. In June, 2010, she participated in the Junior Olympic National Championships in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She ended up winning her age group in the double mini event with a total score of 63.500 and finished seventh in the individual event with a total score of 53.500. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charlotte Drury」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
