Ok, thanks everyone for the input!

I was on DGS.com when I saw an ad for Liquid Chalk. I clicked on it and watched a whole informational video about it. I have never heard of it before, and it seems like it might be worthwhile for my gym to try. Does your gym used liquid chalk? Has it been around for a long time, and I've just...

Have any of you watched their CNN interview? Kyla didn't say one word the whole time. Their segment on The Colbert Report was really funny though, they did this pen relay!

Yeah, no offense, but if you wanted to go to the Olympics, you would have to already be an elite. Most olympians are level 4s when they are like 5 or 6. I was a level 4 when I was 6, and I'm not even going to the Olympics.

I think that if any of the girls want to shoot for Rio 2016, they have to make their decision soon. As this year proved, it's very hard to make a comeback a year before the Olympics after having 3 years off. There is way too much talent coming up for the girls to still have a chance if they take...

I've tried the Nastia/Mckayla bun but it never seems to look right and it always falls out! How do you guys do it?

Is it for sure that Jordyn will be attending UCLA when she graduates? If she decides to continue to do gymnastics, maybe she will defer for a year or two and continue to train at Gedderts?

I read that article too! I feel bad for her, since that must have been really embarrassing. I wonder what her parents thought?? But she's 18, so she's allowed to drink in London right? I wonder who she was trying to message... I was thinking maybe another one of the fierce five... but none of...

Wow, my craziest goals. My list could go on forever!!! Vault: Full twisting yurchenko Bars: Pak salto Weiler kip into front giants Shaposhnikova Beam: punch front side somi back handspring- back handspring- back lay Floor: Full in double arabian

I have never used chalk on the beam, and none of my teammates have either. All of the beams at my gym have new beam covers so them being slippery is not a problem. Before we got the covers, though, the beams were super slippery, almost to the point of it being dangerous, so we used to put spit...

This is another great article about it:DeWitt's Jordyn Wieber undecided on her U.S. gymnastics future | Olympic Sports | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

Jordyn has also said that she isn't yet sure if she will continue gymnastics after 2012, but that she really wants to and would love to stay in gymnastics and keep going. Watch her interview at Gymnastike.org: Jordyn Wieber Reflects on her Olympic Experience | 2012 London Olympics | Gymnastike...

I am buying the team finals leo! Its so beautiful!

Mckayla has already said that after the Olympics and the Tour of Champions she will be back in the gym. According to her facebook page, she is going to be training a new vault and is hoping to compete in Rio 2016.

So if next year when this all happens, for instance, you are a level 9 training level 10, will you really be training for level 9 again? So even if you get all your skills for the next level and "move up", you will still be the same level you were the previous year? Or does it really only affect...

I heard the other day that when they update the CoP in 2013 they'll be making level 6 an optional level (in USAG). I've also heard some people say that they're going to be somehow adding a level, so, for example, if you're a level 5 now, you'll be a level 4. But, other people have said that...

Wow, that's awesome!

Bogwobbit, Sorry. But, not sure how this could be your fourth time merging one of my posts... I haven't even posted four times, since I am new to this forum. And my two other posts have never been moved...

Mckayla Maroney SPOILER ALERT I was so disappointed when I heard that Mckayla only got Silver in vault finals! Her Amanar was amazing, but she fell on her 2nd vault (her Mustafina). Everyone knows that she's the best vaulter in the world! After the competition, she said "It happens, it's...
