I was browsing the net looking for cool videos and stumbled on that Amy Chow video. Sheesh...I've never seen anyone twist like that, but I'm kind of an amateur. I can see how their is a smooth transition from gymnastics to diving. It's very elegant. Whoa! I was browsing the net looking for cool videos and stumbled on that Amy Chow video.

Uchimura won the recent Japanese Championships by 8.15 points. He just keeps pulling out new tricks - this time it was the Yeo 2 vault (a handspring-Randi...that's a handspring-front 2.5!).

Great blog, by the way, I think I didn't know it, can that be possible? Sorry about that.

Very interesting that none of the winners competed in the all-around. I guess the days of winning multiple medals are almost over - remember Vitaly Scherbo in Barcelona? It's all about the specialists now! Don't you just love the satisfactory thud of a stuck landing?! :) Another great set of routines!
