Jen viewed the Olympics in 1996. Even at that young age, she had an interest in gymnastics while supporting the American Dominica Mochana. Bricker was motivated by the athlete to start his own training.
Her parents helped her out with this. Jen achieved achievement and won the state championship before getting into aerial gymnastics. Dominika was the athlete’s primary source of inspiration; the little girl identified with her after watching her on television.
Jennifer’s parents revealed to her one day that Dominica was her sister and that Jennifer’s last name at birth was Mochanu. The girls started talking, and today they are pretty close.
