Welcome back! One more Canadian that has returned to elite to try for London is Laura-Ann Chong. Lots of good gym to look forward to in the next five months before the Olympics.

Yah… Let’s hope the judges score fairly. So komova doesn’t get overscored on beam floor and vault. And a musty with that form. People are quick to say Americans are overscored.

Groshkova and Pryakhina are two of my favourites. Do you know what happened to them? When and why did Pryaknina retired?

Whoa! 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.

Thanks! That’s a really cool video that highlights just how hard gymnastics really is!

Some good insight here, Gymbit! We’ve missed you these past few months. Here’s another video you might be interested in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEMeoeriz78 (ESPN Sport Science on components of gymnastics).

Yes, that score is just amazing! 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!).

I just learned that Kohei scored 94.9, the highest all-around score in men’s gymnastics since the code moved to an open-ended scoring system! I so excite!!!

Wow, really hard to believe these were only Soviet B-team gymnasts. I wish today’s routines still had the artistry that these gymnasts showed.
