Nastia Liukin wins the AA!! She is the 2nd WOGA gymnast in a row to win the Olympic all-around title (Carly Patterson in 2004 Athens Olympics). Nastia's teammate Shawn Johnson wins the silver, and China's Yang Yilin wins the bronze. Nastia was amazing - she stuck her 1.5 yurchenko vault (where did the execution b score deductions come from?!), stuck her beam (same on the b score?!) and stuck[ Read More... ]

USA diving Olympic team named after a selection camp too: http://www.gymchat.com/messageboards/showthread.php?p=75919#post75919 So it's not so special to gymnastics. Chellsie Memmel's just fruit for dinner is harsh. She does look like she has a heavier body type than Nastia Liukin, so maybe that's why Nastia's diet seems different and mroe normal according to that AT&T fluff piece on her.[ Read More... ]

Not all about the scholarship. Who wants mean coaches?! [quote]"I pretty much did it for the (scholarship)," Weyer said. "Getting a scholarship for competing in gymnastics was something I always wanted. "I liked it till I got there, then I didn't like it anymore.

At the 2007 Worlds the more experienced older gymnasts - like Catalina Ponor and Elena Zamolodchikova - didn't do the robot walk but the younger girls newer to the international elite scene totally did. It looks really unnatural and robot-like.

Shawn Johnson doesn't even get to pick her own floor music for her routine! The choreographer gives the music to her along with her routine. She talks about it in an interview at NBCOLympics.com: [quote]SJ: I'm not really sure yet. I think just training, trying to get back into a regular routine with school and gym.

Good shoes can also make a big huge difference! Padded, tennis shoes, padded sandal shoes, etc. vs. pointy heels!

You would probably guess the popularity for women's gymnastics is more than men's gymnastics - women's gymnastics is televised more often and earlier to the actual competition than men's, like for the Visa Championships: [quote]NBC Sports is broadcasting action from the women
