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
xoxo

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!

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!

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

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
