Yeah but this isn't the final yet. So there's still hope. I was happy watching that and then Bush's interview started. Aghhhhh

That monkey seemed in the right place for a change. Maybe he could do a triple summersault there and then.

Back to those adorable girls! They seem to be doing better.

Well I think all gymnasts are bred at an early age, but yes, I saw the chinese team & they were VERY good, like the Romanians used to be back in the day.

Seriously, go turn on the tube. There is a big brouhaha with the coaches regarding the age of the Chinese team. Supposedly they are underage and are not eligible to compete.

Yeah - they are cheating on the age for sure. East Germany and Romania used to do this all the time and produced spectacular results.
