Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to establish sustained national or international acclaim in her current field as a coach. The AAO determined that her past achievements as a competitive gymnast, which ended in the early 1990s, did not demonstrate extraordinary ability in coaching. The awards submitted were deemed insufficient as they were from junior-level competitions or were team awards without evidence of her individual leading role.
