After reading your piece on Simona I just wanted to put a link to something I wrote about her, but I didn’t want to do it on the comments about that piece because I mainly just care if you see it. i.e., I’m not trying to promote my site here, so I’m putting it here. You might get a kick out of it, since you’re a Simona fan.
Sarah I could care less if you use this blog to promote your site. Feel free to post what you like.
Here were my two favorite parts
Okay, close enough. Is not like you’re Boginskaya, so nobody gonna pay attention that much anyway,even if you take off clothes and run around arena selling peanuts. Well, they probably pay attention then and say, “Why does gymnast Belu trained sell peanuts?”
and
oh shoot there is another part and now I can’t find it.
Yeah, those damn Romanians. But I have a question that’s off topic: I know you know a lot about various gymnastics things and gymnasts – do you know if Yang Yilin is going to be competing in London? I have a friend who is dying to find out, and I have no idea. She wants to fly out there and go to the Games, but only if Yang is competing. Have you heard anything?
GTT: I was wondering if there is anyway to make a suggestion to you about a post topic? Anyway I would love to ask why everyone is a fan of elite gymnastics. I know it is a general question unrelated to anything specific in the news lately but it would be fun to see what everybody thinks, especially you and all the regulars who provide comments. I have a few thoughts myself.
I guess I could just toss the question out in a comment to one of your posts but I didn’t want to hijack the post with a question unrelated to the topic of the posts.
GTT, another quick question for use of an “admin” nature. I don’t suppose there is anyway to send a private message to either you or another commentator on this blog without revealing email addresses, is there? I (and I suppose most of us) have a private e-mail address where we can correspond privately with someone else without revealing personal information that would allow us to be identified (the same policy all of us should follow I think). I hate stating even my “private” email address openly in one of my comments though.
I am only interested because it would be fun to talk about gymnastics a little with one-on-one with some folks without clogging up the blog.
GTT: Did anybody respond to your suggestion regarding tickets to the Kellogg Tour? I talked to my husband and we might could get you some. Send me an email at terrygymfan@gmail.com if you would like to discuss.
was wondering why my comments on the gaby douglas post didnt get published while others after mine did? my comments were not offensive., sorry i dont know how else to contact you GTT
Katherine dear I have a career where I don’t get to play on the internet all day so sometimes it takes days to approve comments and lately I have not been approving any comments.
To be honest I like the nice mix of people currently posting here. We don’t always agree but we are all very respectful of each others opinion s and even when I get annoyed (everyone else is perfect I however am learning to let others have their opinion) and sound off everyone knows not to take it personally.
I’m writing here because it’s the least likely place people will see it. Late last night, one of my readers, liketearsinrain, responded to a request I put out to make a video about Milo, Gina and Simona with the background music the theme from “Laverne & Shirley.” He put together a quick video, and even though the picture quality isn’t superb, the video is so much fun!
I’m linking the youtube version here in case you want to share it with your readers. You dojn’t have to mention me or anything, I just think it’s something gym fans would enjoy.
No one ever did anything like this for me before, and it was really touching.
Thanks for being a friend, even though I’m from Malibu and you’re from Mass. (Sounds like I country song: “I’m from Malibu, she’s from Mass.”)
Awesome idea, Michael, but why is there a man there? We need a new and useful forum for women’s gymnastics. Is that what you’re trying to create? If so, I’ll promote the hell out of it on my site.

I think I posted it in the old blog. I am not in the mood to talk about this little spoiled brat and her fat mother anymore.
This kid really is an idiot. Who says this??
“I love all the attention, people noticing me. ‘There’s the gymnast. There she is!’ ”
I stopped reading after that comment. Please don’t make me read it.lol
Paraphrase for me please?
