I know. Even though it was nearly 1AM I was wide awake. I gasped!!! My heart was racing watching ALL the girls routines. I am a new fan of Ivana Hong. 14 years old-very unique skills; german giants on bars and her floor routine dance was grogeous. I have been a fan of Shawn Johnson and Nastia for a long time, and a fan of the sport waaaaay longer. Can't wait for tonight!

Gracefulone--i agree also! Ivana Hong was amazing, I think she might just be my new upcoming favorite. Shawn Johnson had an excellent meet, and I look forward to seeing more of her. Nastia didn't do too shabby, bummer she missed that bar dismount though. I'm looking forward to tonight!

OK, this is my official introduction into televised gymnastics other than watching the olympics. I am taping for my daughter and all I can say is WOW, I am a Shawn Johnson fan. I also like Ivana H and too bad she is having some problems. I am sure in the past Nastia was the great one to watch but I think these younger whipper snappers are about to steal the show.

I taped the 2nd one last night, and I'm going to try to watch it either tonight or tomorrow--I'm excited to see how this one ends.
