Great blast from the past-not filled with tumbling like todays routines but lots of polish and finesse, even tiny Dominique. That was a thrilling Olympics for gymnastics. It would be nice to have replays of the whole thing. So long ago, I forgot how leggy and tall Amy chow looked. More balletic than the girls today who are so muscled. Looking at Aly and Weiber's upper bodies you just go, wow. How does that happen? Skinny little Gabby took top prize, though. I used to work out a lot but simply was born a skinny minny without the muscles to develop. I have to admist that since the doping articles, I am wondering about everyone, especially Phelps. Misty, the 6foor 1 inch champion swimmer simply is larger than most of the swimmers. She is pretty so does not come across as overly masculine, but she is a huge girl! She is being talked about as the female answer to Phelps and the one swimmer who might equal him if she stays in.

Aly's gym was mobbed today and she did pose and sign everything they asked of her. I can just imagine that the next Olympics will have a gymnast from that gym, or maybe the one after that. I am glad no gymnasts have ever been caught doping. It would be tragic to find out some 16 year old has his or her own chemist.

There is still so muc on the news about the stars coming home...it is like London lives on....
