What is woga?

Answer 1

"WOGA" stands for World Olympics Gymnastic Acadamy. WOGA is located in Texas and is co-owned and operated with several former Soviet (Russian) gymnasts including Valeri Liukin. Valeri Liukin is the father of Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin.

WOGA is Nastia Liukin and 2004 Olympic All-Around Champion Carly Patterson's home gym. Over one third of Olympic and World medals won by U.S. women since 2003 have been won by WOGA gymnasts (21 out of 61 medals since 2003). Fifteen percent of all Olympic and World medals ever won by U.S. women have been won by WOGA gymnasts in the past six years (21 out of 139 medals won since 1970. Hollie Vise won WOGA's first individual World Championship gold medal for Uneven Bars in 2003. Hollie and Carly helped the U.S. team win its first ever team gold at World Championships in 2003. Nastia is tied with Shannon Miller for winning the most World Championships medals by a U.S. gymnasts (9 medals). No other U.S. training program has won 2 or more Olympic or World Championships medals every year since 2003. It took each girl over 10 years of training 35+ hours per week, 50 weeks per year and 2 coaches working with each of them every day to earn these medals.
