Gymnastics for me!

I will definitely be watching the gymnastics, both men and women. The only time the men have ever medaled was 1984 which was boycotted by the Soviet Union (COLD WAR was still going on!)

Mo (her nickname) from the women's team was selling raffle tickets to raise money for her gymnastics training. (I was one for sixteen years....BIG BUCK$$!!!) Pamela Anderson gave her a $20,000 donation towards her Olympic Dream. I was so excited to see her get a spot on the women's team.

They left FOUR Women's World Championship team members off the 2004 Olympic Team. This is an older and much more experienced team than we have ever sent.

As for Blaine Wilson from the men's team, STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM! I would rather hear about the Hamm twins or Jason Gatson who has had his right knee reconstructed TWICE(!!!!!) who are on the Men's Team. Both times Jason blew his knee out in comptetitions. It is unheard of to come back and compete at this level from that type of injury.

Okay....enough from me!

GO USA!
