The US team has 2 women who are 25 and 26 years old on the team (Mohini Bhardwaj, who got the chance to afford to train thanks to Pamela Anderson) and Annia Hatch (formerly of Cuba). Uzbekistan is sending 28 year old Oksana Chusovitina who's the world vault champion currently. I am really excited to see older women compete against the 16 and 17 year old majority. The US has a really strong team this year, but I am always interested to watch the Chinese who always are so innovative. I also am hoping that Romania has picked up some of that innovation, for a long time they were just solid and boring.

I LOVE MO!!!! (Mohini Bhardwaj) I too am happy to see actual women competing in gymnastics. I love you forever Olga Korburt but dang!! The elfen midget takeover was too much. I speak of this as a former competitive gymnast and coach. It was nice to see Kelly Garrison and Kathy Johnson awhile ago. Brandy Johnson was refreshing too. I'll be watching the gymnastics of course. I agree with you regarding China.
