Video Q&A: Harris Coleman

8/4/2009 12:00:00 AM | Men's Gymnastics

GopherSports.com caught up with freshman gymnast Harris Coleman recently, putting together a Video Q&A, which can be seen below.

In the interview, Coleman talks about his transition to college life, how he ended up at Minnesota and a number of other interesting topics. Perhaps the most interesting thing Coleman spoke about was overcoming a surgery for Crohn's Disease. After that surgery, doctors told him he wouldn't be able to do any flipping or twisting, essentially telling him he wouldn't be able to compete in gymnastics any more.

Coleman, who will be counted on to contribute to the Gophers as a freshman, has obviously proven those doctors wrong. You can see Coleman's interview by clicking here or on the video below:
