Nice job. I really liked the bit about Skylar. How old is she really? One of the vids said 8. I can't believe she's only a level 8 either (esecpt on bars). Everything else was the very upper end of level 8 skills. I thought a layout on beam was a 'd' or is that only when it's standing.?

thanks! she's 10 now, and i think she's a level 9 trying to qualify to HOPES/Pre-elite. why does no one ever go to level 10 these days? but yeah, i can name a few dozen level 8's trying to conjure up enough of an A score to make it as an elite. I don't understand why they don't just move up threw the levels normally, they are too young anyway to even make 2012 olympics. i don't get why you wouldn't just take your time.

It's a such a shame because that way, they're probably not enjoying it as much and are more likely to crash and burn. Those girls could probably have some real success as level 9's and 10's if they'd just let it happen .

yeah, i really hope she can stick it out til post-2012 because as much as i hate chellsie memmel [as you probably know if you read my blog] i would hate to see her sister go out because she was pushed too hard too fast. it would be a shame.

I kind of laughed actually when I read that part of your blog-my dad's the biggest Chellsie fan in the world! M and M is really close to where I live, so it's a local thing I guess. He doesn't really 'get' elite gymnastics though. Example: She is his favorite for the gold medal all-around. That's why I love him though.

haha thanks, i don't hate her in all seriousness, but since i'm no fan of her in any way, i like to use her as a reference to things i really don't like. lol
thats cool that you live by M&M i mean, chellsie's there, but skylar is there too!
oh and your dad is better than my dad. every single time he sees nastia liukin he says
"now whos that again"
and then he says "oh right, i can't tell her and that johnson person apart"
and i'm like: "dad! they look nothing like each other!"
and he also loves to say: svetlana boguuuuinskaya
and i say "dad, she stopped competing like a million years ago!"

I love watching gym with my dad! Even though the scoring system isn't really new anymore, I still have to re-explain it every time.

hahahaha i like your intro "not a lot of people are going to visit this site. It's okay no big deal. My feelings are not going to be hurt. That is why i will feel free to tell this stupid blog everything about gymnastics that I hate [like Elfi Schelgel and her expolitation of Shawn Johnson and past gymnasts such as Vanessa Alter]" hahaha lmao, that was funny! i'm excited for your blog, so i'll def keep visiting.
heres my site btw: http://addicted2gym.blogspot.com/ |
