They had one more rotation left till lunch break, and that is what kept the gym motivated. Soon enough Sasha blew the whistle to signal to go onto their final rotation. The junior elites were now on vault and floor. Payson and Jordan moved to bars which left Colleen, Lauren, and Kaylie on beam. The uneven bars were Jordan's specialty, so she started off while Payson spotted her. The two were a perfect pair that was not afraid to hold back in comments. Sasha had joined the duo every so often to make sure they were progressing and cleaning their current routines. Today was the day for the Olympic five to polish their routines. Tomorrow, Sasha, MacIntyre, and the Rock's assistant coaches would judge them. Their results would be used to decide how routines would be changed or not.
Lauren opted to go first on the beam when they arrived there. She hoisted herself on the beam to check and fix a few of her aerials before she ran the whole routine. Lauren started at the far left end and began with her single Arabian. She did the trick, and Coach Mac began to point out the flaws. Lauren looked towards Sasha who was monitoring Jordan's dismount from the bars. Lauren nodded once Coach Mac was finished speaking, and she was about to do another when her fingers went numb. She started to rub them before she felt the dizziness. Lauren got down from the beam before she would black out. That was the next step in her symptoms. Coach MacIntyre was furious at first that she just got off the beam instead of following orders, but then he saw she was rubbing her fingers together. She stumbled as she walked which meant she had little balance. "Someone call her family. Sasha, I am going to need your help." Mac shouted as he grabbed Lauren's right arm. He pulled her in front of him in case she was to pass out so that he could catch her. Coach MacIntyre watched as Kaylie ran off to call Mr. Tanner, and Colleen walked towards the water cooler for what seem like the hundredth time today. He would deal with her later though because Lauren was more important at the moment.
By the time he had diverted his attention away from Colleen, Sasha was standing next to him and looked confused as to what was happening. Jordan had landed her dismount, and she and Payson were trying to organize the junior elites to go out back to the auxiliary gym until lunch. "She is having an episode. First one since the surgery" Coach Mac tried to explain to Sasha. Just as he blurted that out, Lauren fell into his arms. MacIntyre lowered Lauren onto the blue mat. He laid her flat on her back and felt her forehead. "Lauren? Talk to me. Come on." he said as he tried to get her to regain consciousness. Lauren laid there unresponsive. He looked up to see that Sasha was dialing 911 on his cellphone. Mac just stroked Lauren's hair out of her face and tried to get her to wake up.
Within fifteen minutes of the event, Mr. Tanner had arrived and watched helplessly as they waited for the medics to load her onto the yellow stretcher. She was strapped down rather quickly and put on the ambulance. Steve Tanner climbed in as well, holding Lauren's hand the whole time. Once the chaos had settle, Sasha dismissed everyone to take lunch since there was no way they get work done until everyone was calm and focused. He looked worried as he glanced down the street in the direction the hospital was in. He felt guilty that they had not been monitoring her spikes. He knew that Lauren was one of his strong gymnast, and she would recover and be back in training once give the okay by a doctor. He had faith in Lauren, but he could not get distracted by this. After lunch, he had to focus on training his other gymnast. Not only the other Olympic team members, but he had to check in with the level tens and junior elites. They deserved his attention as well because he was their coach too.
