I feel as though this is a wee bit unfair...

So a bunch of kidsss signed to different universities the other day.
UCLA kinda stole everything and everyone.
Good For them.
If they want to win a Gymnastics National title anytime soon,
they may do it while they have these 4 incoming freshman:
Samantha Peszek- you're lucky UCLA, you are l-u-c-k-y to get her.
Mattie Larson- i can not wait to see the creative stuff she comes up with
Olivia Courtney- solid, solid choice.
Sydney Sawa- 2009 canadien national champion... sounds good to me.

Then again, if the Gators were to take the title, I'm sure
Marissa King (british accent!)
Kytra Hunter
Alania Johnson
Liz Green
Brittany Noble
and wait for it.......
drum roll please.....
dumbumdumbumdumbum....
MACKENZIE CAQUATTO!!!!
yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!
I love her. she's gonna do awesome.
hopefully she'll win everything.
i am sooo excited!

You too?
Yeah, that's what i thought.

What's Up?

Well it seems as though i haven't said anything in awhile.
Sorry.
College applications and shizzz had preoccupied me.
Congrats to US Team.
And congrats to kayla williams.
Mother. Father. Greatness.
Freakin' unbelievable...though the competition wasn't very stiff.
Oh well. A gold medal is a gold medal.
And good luck to the Junior Pan Ams team.
I loooooove Alexandra Raisman and Bridgey so good luck, my loves.
Mkay bye.
xoxoxoxox.

Calling all gymnasts!

I have a request.
I wanna see someone do a sheep jump 1/2. or a sheep jump full.
On the ground, i wouldn't expect anyone to do it on a beam! lol
So if anyone can do it (my back flexibility is not up to ..ehem.. par)
Please tape it and put it on youtube.
I will feature you in a special video on my channel if you can do it.
Claire?
anyone else maybe?
let me know.

To train or not to train...that is the question.

So coming into 2009 there are quite a lot of injuries already:
Mattie Larson & Sam Shapiro
Jordyn Wieber
oh yeah...Jordyn.
Hmm? what ever happened to her?
Right! A hamstring strain!
That sucks but apparently it's not too bad not torn or anything.

So what to do with a 14 year old girl who can throw many tricks much more difficult then most seniors these days?
I don't know, you tell me!
You're the one asking the question!
Oh it was rhetorical...right.

anyway, this is where training gets a little tough. She's got 3 years left as a junior (legally) and she's already ready to win world medals!
The Geddart's got some toughie's on their hands.
What if she burns out?
That would be quite a shame. She's a pretty snazzy gymnast if yah ask me.
She reminds me of Shawn Johnson but taller, more flexible, more dynamic and has more personality then shawny there.
PS i love shawn.

Back to my point:
Her coaches are apparently trying to pace her.
They have turned down international assignments and trips to the camp.
She only trains 29 hours a week.
Since the code only requires 8 to count instead of 10 then are doing more dance training to help with her presentation.
Sounds good to me! A more dancy jordy with her same skills is like...an unstoppable force.

But let's think about this long and hard.... wouldn't that be the most uninteresting, boring 29 hours a week of your life? Seriously, if i was her i would not be a fan of practicing 'dance' instead of amanar's.

Which leads me to my other point, rumor has it Kami quit...or is 'taking a break'...or has 'discontinued indefinitely' (that's what my coaches always used to say)
Ashley Stott is also 'taking a break'
So is shawny...but i'd lean more towards the discontinued for her.

So on one hand, i don't want jordy to be a Kristal Uzelac.
On the other, i don't want her to hate doing this so much she inevitably quits and/or doesn't want to do it so she's sad. (i never wanna see her sad!)

It's a fine line. That i hope she can walk on and do full twists on and dismount prefectly, stick the landing, and get herself some london gold.

THE END.

I apologize for the frantic twittering...

if you were on twitter the night of championships, me and dithy would just like to say sorry. Haha. We were twittering everything! and normally i don't do that because i'm never actually on twitter. But that was the exception.

As you all already know, bridget sloan won. And can i just say they all did beautiful vaults. I hope Bridge, ivie & Becca keep that up. Those put up some big numbers. Congrats to Cassie Whitcomb who made her first Senior National team same with Kaitlyn Clark and Sam Shapiro, though she didn't even compete. lol
Kytra Hunter did surprising well. Bravo for her.

Oh and Mackenzie Caquatto is my new hero.
A) because she had only abut 10 training days before championships and refused to water down almost anything. (excpet her beam dismount but whatevs)
B) She still ended up placing 5th
C) And can not wait to see what she looks like full strength
D) I love her and her sister they are just too cool.
E) oh and by the way, congrats to bridgey who took 2nd place in juniors.

okay well...bye.
love you

Kyla Ross!! New surprises in the Land of Championships.

I really did not expect that one! Congratulations to the new Junior National Champion Kyla Ross from Gym-Max with a 114.000! Yay! Biggest surprise for me were:

Kyla's Scores on vault.
Bridgette's Scores on vault.
McKayla Maroney's Amanar!!!!!
Alex Raisman placing 3rd.
Bridgey not winning! I was rooting for her!
Hallie Mossett not making the national team.

On Senior side:
Uh...I'm so happy Alicia is coming out of retirement! Makes me smile!!!!!
And the WOGA gene goes on. Brossy is prolly gonna win it.
Cassie Whitcomb's fantasmic bar routine!
Jana's Surprising Suckage. Awww. poor jana. she's adorable even though her toes are never pointed.
Chellsie Memmel showing up. grrr.

On the boys side:
The sad championships of Dave Sender.
And the surprising goodness of John Orozco (just 15 years old!)


NEWS FLASH!!!!
The boys world championship team is:

Jonathan Horton (duh)
Alex Artemev (fun)
Steven Legendre (from Flower Mound, Texas!!!)
Danell Leyva (classy)
Tim Macneil
Dave Sender (just let the boy go to Vet School!!!!!!)

OKie Dokie. Well congrats to lizzy in her first Championships! 20AA.
Not too shabby! especially with brand new routines and skills and such.


I'll leave you with a beautiful video about a fish.
Inspirational

www.Gymnastike.org lovelovelove<3<3<3

I'm in love...

With www.gymnastike.org
Anyone else?
Mental Edge Mondays,
Technical Tuesdays,
and Workout Wednesdays?

I freakin can't get enough of it.
Anyone else?

So chellsie is still competing!!
I can not believe it!!!!
I thought my life was free from her and her memmel factory's grasps?
Until of course the Skylar generation came around ( which i assume will be next year since she narrowly missed qualifying for Junior Nationals this year)

Um well, Hey do any of you know stefani catour?
I feel bad for her. She competed at the US Challenge and and took first on Vault, Beam and AA.
Why would i feel bad, you may ask?
Because she scored a 53.600
Which (if) she was competing in the Junior Elite catergory, she'd be heading to Championships right now.
She not only qualified, she over did the qualifying by 1 1/2 points!
Which is more than most seniors could do since the qualifying standard had to be lowered this year from 54.000 to 52.500 because not enough people qualified!
I find that rather funny!

Well any who, i can not wait til' nationals!
Who can't you wait to see and why?
Let me know!

Corinne

Mazeltov!

Congrats to Miss Elizabeth Leduc! Who just qualified to her first VISA Championships yesterday!
I have had the honor of watching her grow up these last few years, and her family is the nicest and sweetest family you will probably ever know! lol Good job and good luck, hun!

Congrats to my other favorite juniors as well who just qualified:
Katelyn Ohasi
Claire Boyce
Pua Hall
Kiana winston
Mckenzie Wofford (though i believe she already qualified)
Kennedy Baker
Alex Raisman

Better luck next year, Amelia Hundley!
You are quite amazing, though!
She missed qualifying by .4 tenths!

(unless she had previously qualified but i'm pretty sure she hadn't)
Also nice try to Dare Maxwell who really had an unfortunate meet.

what did y'all think of nastia? pretty spiffy, eh?
and i'm not really a fan of new ivana. but i guess it's way too early to tell

diga me!
xoxo

Teamwork, guys.

OKie dokie: I am SO SO SO freaking excited that the US Classic will be shown on universal sports on July 25th at 8:00 CENTRAL TIME.
However, i will be in florida so...
someone out in the magical world of video capturing needs to harness this magic (in video form) and keep it for future reference.

REASONS TO WATCH:

Nastia & Sam will be there. Nastia will compete beam and then rush over to be a commentator on floor (classy)
Lizzy Leduc will be looking to qualify to US CHampionships there! (wish her luck!)
Rheagan Courville and Sarah Persinger are both back from their year long injuries and ready to qualify for Senior Nationals.
Rebecca Bross is also back and ready to debut new skills as a first time senior elite.
We get to see a first glimpse at Dare Maxwell and Claire Boyce (two personal favorites of mine)
It's always fun to see Jordy do some new crazy skill she and her over-enthusiastic coach invented.
Amelia Hundley, a little one from CGA, is trying to qualify for Nationals at the tender age of 11...i think.


after you watch, tell me whatcha thought. and your best bets for 2009 US National and World Championship Teams.

love you too!

Stop Stereotyping!

I'm really get sick of Make it or Break it and their false stereotypes of gymnasts.
A) Lauren throwing up her breakfast in the first episode and everyone acting like it's not a big deal.
B) Emily's brother saying and i quote "Gymnasts don't get their periods, mom, not enough body fat, remember?"

Stereotype, much? and not true, much?!?!?!

Dudes who write the show, stop doing that or i'll stop watching.

Oh and notice anything different about my blog? I needed money so I let Google put ads on my page. And i am here to inform you that I CAN NOT LEAGALLY ASK YOU TO CLICK ON THOSE ADS SO I GET MONEY.
So i'll leave it totally up to you.
No pressure. =]
You don't have to click on them.
You don't even have to acknowledge them.
Just pretend i said nothing
[wink] lol

xoxo

Well...it improved!

So the second episode of Make it or Break it was A LOT better if you ask me. The new gym that Lauren goes too seems to be 10x better at gymnastics then the Rock if you ask me. And then they have a stunt double do a triple twist off beam which was awesome...but it was cut together poorly with the actress "sticking it".
Whatever. well there's a new episode on tonight and who knows, maybe this one will be even better! I sure hope so. Oh and I love the little girl [Payson's sister] who came in like 17th and is now going to nationals. She's cute. I like her.
Oh and did anyone notice that emily kmetko looks an awful lot like haley graham from stick it? And there mothers look almost the same too. Hmmmmm.
Oh and i REALLY do not like kaylie's boyfriend. He's inconsiderate, A. and B, he's not even cute.
And Payson in real life, like the actress, is a ballerina! I had no idea! but she trains with the American Ballet theater. Coolness.
All around [hehe] I give the shows second episode 3 stars [out of 5] When the first show I would only give like 1 and 3/4 stars.

My lovely friend over at www.gymdivas.us and www.gym-style.com [go there...now!]
Was awesome enough to provide me with a list of competitiors she knows of for 2009 Championships [in the real world] Thank you Whitney!
Apparently Chellsie Memmel hasn't given up yet and has qualified once again. In other news, i may kill myself. lol

xoxo

Hi, pretties!

So Make it or Break it was worse than i thought it would be. But i will continue to tivo it until it is cancelled. Or maybe it won't be cancelled. Whatever. The acting was horrible the editing between stunt double and actor was worse. The actual skills they were doing was the absolute killer for me though. A tsuk, really? If anyone did a tsuk at nationals they would be consequently laughed off the podium. I mean... i can do a tsuk, granted its into a pit but i've had relatively minimal gymnastics training. so. yeah.

i mean not that anyone who can do that stuff is bad...it's just not going to get you to nationals. Couldn't they have found some college gymnasts to be there stunt doubles?

Anywho. So i am trying to compile a list of girls going to nationals this year [juniors] in the real world...who don't do tsuks.

Pua Hall
Claire Boyce <--- yayayay!
Jordyn Wieber
Kamerin Moore
McKenzie Wofford. <-- first timer
Sabrina Vega
Alex Raisman
Hallie MOssett
Sophia Lee <--- WOGA
Briley Casanova <---also WOGA

the list is ongoing

xoxox
PS: i have a new montage, might wanna check that out!

So i got a twitter!

Because Ashton Kutcher has one.
And i'm a big fan of ashton kutcher.
A big one.
I also think Oprah is much like God.
And she also recently got a twitter.
So applying the Laws of Oprah, i must get one too.
my user name is cccam5 - because apparently there is another cccam in the world? whatevs.
so um yeah! wanna stalk me? coolness.
or yah know...you could just be my friend. lol
i think thats a better choice.
oh and apparently there's a person called ashleyakaflipperhate? on youtube?
whatever. Nothing like a good fight to call attention to a blog though.
not that i would know anything about that (lmfao mileycyrus990)

kisses.

What up my fellow americans!

That was an odd way to address you since i'm pretty sure at least one of the people reading this is either from
A) Canada
B) England
or
C) Australia

(pick the right one...lol)

okay so whats up with this ashleyakaflipperxten shizz?
I love the girl, i do.
Shes super awesome and the reason i made an account in the first place but it seems weird.
Eh i dunno about you but i don't need more people not reading my blog to go read hers.
Plus i'll prolly be reading her blog anyway.
Sound good?
GO SHAWNY! just thought i'd add that in thurr.
so lets see... Marta sent some newbies & Bridget to Germany and they won. Yay Team USA! Good job.
Do you guys have any new info to share? I know Courtney Kupets just did an interview. Law School may be in her future. SOunds appetizing. Too bad she doesn't want to be a coach because she'd be a good one.

that was a super random post so um.... yeah... sorry

alrighty then...peace.

Lay a hand on her, and i will kill you.

HI, y'all! writing you from study hall. Pretty cool, eh? anywho. Have you heard about Shawn Johnson having a stalker? That's scary shit, man. [excuse my language] srsly. i don't like stalkers or movies about stalkers or anything of that matter. If that kid [or i should say old creepy man] ever touched her i would personally find him and beat the crap out of him, myself. Yah know what's even creepier that i just realized? He was probably watching montages of her online...yah, know...like the ones we made. I don't want stalkers watching my montages!
ATTENTION ALL STALKERS: please refrain from watching my montages. You are disgusting and belong in jail...so go turn yourself in.... right about now.


lets all join together and protect shawny, mkay?
-love you too-

New Stuff for you to Comment!

haha. So new video up! on Jordyn Wieber. So go watch it pretty please!
I'm now taking 1 request only 1
so whoever gets to me first wins! lol.
on what my next montage should be about.
But you have to be subscribed to me on youtube.
Sorry! And if you don't have a youtube then you should get one! lol
And i've decided that my videos where the audio has been taken away due to copyright will be uploaded to gymnasttube and the link will be posted on the old video.

The Future Looks Bright For The US of A

USA wins team, all-around at USA-Japan women’s friendly dual meet

The U.S. Team of Kamerin Moore, Mackenzie Caquatto, Bridgette Caquatto, and Hallie Mossett bested Japan, 169.850 to 159.300.

Kamerin took home the AA title as well as all 4 individual event titles.

Mackenzie took second is the AA

Bridget took 3rd

& Hallie took 4th.

seems as though we creamed the Japanese.

coolness.

I for one say: YAY! Kamerin! This is only her second international assignment so congrats to her! And the rest of the US Team also =]

MOVING ON!

time for some edumacation about a bright up & coming gymnast you might see in the future.

Name:Lucy Palma

Age: 12

Level: pre-elite / level 10

Club: Capital Gymnastics

Why she's awesome: sick nasty floor. checkkk it.

Hey Now, Shawny...

so i was browsing the web the other day...well today. And I came across new photos of Shawn's escapades on DWTS. Well, uh...judge for yourself.

I love Shawn. I really do. And that dress looks amazing. But she's 16. The same age as me. And there is no way that I would show up on any stage that has my "chestal region" lol not completely and fully covered up.

So i'm a little iffy about this whole dancing with the stars thing. First of all, because they are totally going to overexpose the whole "olympic thing" Not that its not worth exposing...but you can tell its going to be obnoxious partially because of the sequin covered beam in the background.

WARNING: at no time should anyone actually compete on a sequin covered beam. Injury is sure to occur.

And second of all...because i'm absolutely certain that im gonna be really upset if she loses.

And third of all because we're all going to be exposed to disgusting creepy pervs on youtube posting videos on Shawn's hottness & stuff. And thats just disgusting. Shes a freaking little girl. Ew.

So what do you guys think about this whole Dancing ordeal?

let me know peeps.

cmnts please!

-lovelove-

New International Assignments!

Hallie Mossett

World Cup, Montreal, Que., Canada,
March 6-9
Mattie Larson
Samantha Shapiro

Junior Team Cup of International Gymnix, Montreal, Que., Canada,

Kamerin Moore
Hallie Mossett
Sabrina Vega
Jordyn Wieber

enjoy! can't wait to see videos of the caquatto sisters and new footage of mattie! Looks like AOGC is off to a good start with Hallie, Sam and Mattie all going to a international assign!

-have a ball-

So about that American Cup...

we all knew Jordy was gonna win it, right?
but i had no clue she had the amanar and double double!
I swore in front of my parents when I saw that!
Okay so Jordy was on vault and I was in the kitchen so I didn't hear them talking about her, and I was like "Oh this is gonna be an awesome double yurchenko!" and then she landed the amanar [scary landing i might add] and i was like "holy sh**!"
Those are some crazy shananigans from a 13 year old.
I hope to GOD she doesn't burn out.
what did you guys think about her?
and bridget! good job to her!
& i thought the romanian was pretty spiffy as well. especially on bars...even though she fell.

-peace-

Mkay, so ima say thats a "no" on the whole 'Olympic' Thing

Shawn is doing dancing with the stars
frickity frick.
no more olympic medals for her i guess.
ewww. and ugh!

Wow, Special.

Inductees! in to the Gymnastics Hall of Fame for this year include:
Carly Patterson
Mary Sanders [Rythmic Gymnastics]

In other news, Courtney Kupets proves to be the most valuable thing to College Gymnastics, when she earned 2 perfect 10's in a Georgia Competition.
Dithy [Nightflare514] was there.
Coolio.

USAG: I'm almost pretty sure you can't just make up your own rules.

So i just found out that Jordyn Wieber is competing at the 2009 Tyson American Cup and I'm like : "WTF?!?!"
Uhhh. FYI: She's turns 14 in July.
Don't you have to be a senior??
Or does USAG just decide to pick whoever is good for them?
Its bad enough that they already allow, count them: 4 US gymnasts compete at the finals. I thought it was a pretty solid 2 that we decided on for international competitions, folks.
If it was any other country...well you could use imagination about what would happen.

Anywho, Bridget Sloan is going to compete also. I for one hope Jordyn wins it, even if she shouldn't be able to compete in senior competitions until 2010. [the year i graduate, i might add]

Oh! and my dad says i might be able to fly down with him to Dallas for Nationals! [Since he's going for a buisness trip around that time] SWEETNESS! Anyone else going? Let me know!
[If i know you hah.]


-peace-

PS: Oh and can you guys like become a "follower" of my blog or something because at the moment I only have 1, k thanks. lol

Now that that's over lets get back to hmmm ii don't know, GYMNASTICS

okie dokie! so there isn't much to say on the count of it being the off season and all so...... what i LOVE to do like every year is try to guess who i think will be on the olympic team. And then look back 4 years from now and see how totally weird it is who is actually on the team. It's a fun game I play with myself. I have no friends. lol j/k anyway! Here it goes:

Nastia Liukin
Shawn Johnson
Ivana Hong
Mattie Larson
Jordyn Wieber
Sam Shapiro

*unless of course ther are only 5 ppl then take off mattie

BYE!
leave comments on who you think will make it.

Let's pretend for 5 seconds that the whole world doesn't revole around you, K?

wow, mileycyrus990 has a big superiority complex if she really thinks im gonna spend THAT much time trying to hack her account. i have better things to do. those better things include:
not talking to mileycyrus990
not recieving messaged from mileycyrus990
and most of all: making sure to harrass mileycyrus990 until she can't even type those stupid ass messages she's always sending me that never make sense.

well, i guess my world does seem like it revolves around her, and i'm guessing she's smiling with glee as she reads [don't worry hun, glee means h-a-p-p-y] but she can deal with it. we can't take away her account, but we can take away a crap load of things.

now i'm officially stating now that if mileycyrus990 was to oh, idk, lose all of her friends and subscribers and channel comments because someone turned EVERY SINGLE PERSON thats in this community against her. well there really wouldn't be anyreason for her to stay on here would there. but of course, my hands would be toooootally clean.

she could if she stay if she wanted too. but then again, no one will really care then now will they.
besides its just a matter of times before she forgets her own password that she had to change so no one could hack and she runs out of guesses for my password. =]

im really surprising myself with how mean i'm getting. i don't mean it to everyone else except that evil brat but, this has been going on for months now. why wont she just leave me alone?

ugh whateverrr. im so done with this.

CAN YOU BELIEVE Mileycyrus990?

This has gone too far. Her background. I made it. That little skank. I can't take it anymore!!!! I hate her sooo much! And to think my new years resolution was to not hate more than 3 people!!!! I HATE HER!!

i want to freakin' make her cry and then laugh in her face as that spoiled brat goes down.
i can't believe she even has the nerve. she is such a bitch.
