YAY, I'm so excited to watch the American Cup!! I hardly ever see gymnastics on TV! I'v already warned my entire family not to bug me from 1:00 - 3:00 today when it's on. lol
...and nope i'm not in it...haha...i wish though XD

who are you "rooting" for??
I'm rooting for shawn johnson and Nastia Liukin, and any Canadian gymnasts that are competing there of course.
Does anyone know what Canadian gymnasts will be there?

[MartinaE]

for the girls Alyssa Brown is there.

For anyone interested...before the TV coverage is on in the US there are live quick hits offered on http://www.intlgymnast.com

I think I`m rooting for Nastia and Shayla most - and I really hope our Germany Joeline Möbius will have a good competition. She can not keep up with the US gymnasts, but I hope she can hit her routines.

Had the opportunity to go but passed this time, my DD just turned 7 and I was afraid she wouldn't sit still for it. A lot of the Level 5 girls went and some other L4's. My daughter is at practice now with the small group that didn't go, LOL. I will record it for her to watch later.

OMG it was the experience of a lifetime!!!!!!! it was my first international meet that i've ever been to. i got to sit in one of the suite boxes in madison square garden and it was SO AMAZING. i highly recommend going/buying tickets for an international meet like that because it was one of the best experiences i've ever had. and its really inspiring. we had these really annoying kids sharing the box with us (i only was in there because my mom got it through her work, other wise there would be no way we could afford it) and they didn't even do gymnastics!! and they didn't even watch the meet!!! it was such an everyday type of event for them, but for me it was AWESOME! so anyways...
i was rooting for nastia and shayla (and nastia won!) and the girl from Denver Univerisity, jessica lopez. they all did amazing

so right before shawn vaulted (i saw her warming up the 21/2 fine and i was like "oh great shes totally going to win...) as she was running down the run way i was like "and disaster strikes" and i meant like she's going to get a huge score and its going to be a disaster, NOT that she was going to fall... and then she fell!! i was like o.m.g. i just told the future it was so weird. haha just thought i'd share lol
