I think tonight is the last night to vote. Anyone know?

Gymmom says yes, last night to vote.

The judges are fixing this show again. Aly was lowballed the first dance and then this extra point dance off gives Zendaya extra points. Why do I want this show again?

Mckayla mention in this baseball article. Yep almost a year later. It took me a few seconds to understand what this man meant but I got it:)
For those not into reading articles about baseball her name comes right after the bolded Paul Goldschmidt ,

should be so proud: He’s the only player on this list who draws not an iota of scorn from McKayla.

Then I kept reading and there are pictures of how annoyed Mckayla would be. Just for the record Mckayla would never be annoyed by Clay Bucholz. She’s too smart for that.

DM Mehrkampf competition was won by Elisabeth Seitz with a fall. The only 3 names I know are top 3 and the scores are very low.

Adidas has signed a deal with Gage Gymnastics

Fabian won his 7th German Nationals.
Marcel Nguyen only competed two events.

Gina Gogean was inducted into the International Gymnast Hall of Fame. IGHOF is a freaking hoot. Their article actually has these words written in it. An ACTUAL GYMNASTICS ARTICLE written by the Hall of fame for our sport actually wrote the following,

Tell me who’s name does not belong on this list and Bart, get over yourself you tool. Your name is an even bigger joke being mentioned here

Over the past 16 years, 79 of gymnastics greatest stars and contributors, representing 20 countries, have been formally inducted into the Hall of Fame. The IGHOF is home to gymnastics greats such as Olga Korbut, Nadia Comaneci, Mary Lou Retton, Vera Caslavska, Nikolai Andrianov, Sawao Kato, Vitaly Scherbo, and Bart Conner.

Unbelievable.

Moceanu still whining, Nadia telling it like it is, girls rule. Oh the drama

Here is what happens in case you want to save yourself 41 minutes of Bela and his gymnasts hype.

Jaycie looks like a pot head. Bart Conner being interviewed (why?) Time to update the ever since, Bela would try and make a root canal seem like fun, OMG, Nadia scored the first perfect 10? NO WAY, suck it Nellie Kim.
Nadia’s big lips, Bela without grey hair, the obligatory Mary Lou Retton GAG ME, I didn’t want to be like Mary Lou. I guess I should not complain that they are actually giving the past credit. They don’t usually do. UM HELLO, Bela trained Mary Lou for like 6 months before she won a watered down competition. Hey Cheryl Miller with President Regan. Awww, baby Mag 7 pictures. Even Kerri was cute, The DoMo clothesline story, Jaycie was poor, that hair is gross, time for Mary Lee Tracy, the turning point. Dawes has to move away and her parents accept, not so much what she said during her joke of a HOF speech, Amy Chow sap story, I fear you on my TV Moceanu, being Romanian does not make you Nadia, Now I remember why I don’t watch this shit.lol , Moceanu could not be any more phony. Its not moxy Bart, it conceited cocky-mania, she won by default doc people. Bela defends the lunatic Moceanu family. I bet he doesn’t feel that way now, I don’t know about you but if my father hired a hit man I wouldn’t forgive, I think they should name this doc, the Bela hour where Bart gives interviews, Kerri is jealous, Hey Shannon, you do exist and did you know Shannon was only a beamer but Dawes was an AAer, GAG ME, how did Miller finish the AA in first place just doing beam????, Amanda sap story, injuries happen, I don’t think they had glitter on their face in the early 90′s Barty, Amanda the old soul, Amanda doesn’t understand why she was bumped in 92, Miller and Dawes win boatload of medals (Miller yes, Dawes, um no) but who needs facts, 3 veterans upstaged by Domo, GAG ME, Um not in the end, time for the fake injury that disappeared after the Olympics and 30 minutes into the 41 minutes we finally get to 1996 Olympics, Jaycie still looks like a pit head, Kleenex time, Amanda becomes captain. I have to admit this was the sweetest thing about this doc. Amanda being chosen by everyone was the right decision. Dawes is about to choke and Amanda saves the day, LOL Dawes crying, not a lot of re-search to find those clips LMAO, pressure from the cloud, compulsories starts, in second after, Starts a fire says Jaycie, time for team finals, STUPID BULL PEN, DAMN it Red Sox, GO Pacers (interruption brought to you by the damn bull pen) Ignore the interruption, the luck wins out on stupidity and bad pitching by the sox bull pen of horrors, trying to score on a pop up HA, Can’t make this stuff up) Back to the doc, Jaycie is the lead off, the stars show up (Chow was not a star but whatevs, Sox score two more runs to save the bull pen, time for vault. Miller hits, looks at the scores, we have a gold medal, not so quick Miller, Moceanu chokes (yes you did fall, stop making excuses. Moceanu the wonder girl, I could do that vault at 3 in the morning, apparently not.lol (YOU FELL TOOL) Bart says, she wasn’t the gymnast the world would pick and he names Dawes 1st, Strug Chokes, one legged landing, gold is ours, the end.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reality, the US did not need the vault, still great Strug vaulted even when injured (though lets be real, the big injury came ON the second vault, not the first) but this idea that she was told she could not deal with the pressure is complete BULL SHIT. When did Kerri ever choke for the team? herself? please

The gold medal was set up for a Bela gymnast to clinch the gold and no way in hell should Moceanu have been the gymnast up second to last but Bela wanted the credit and he got it, thanks to Kerri not his spoiled brat star Moceanu.

Revisionist history doc.

Some of the stuff up there makes no sense to me now but it did when I was typing so if you actually watch it maybe you will understand:)

COME ON PACERS I forgot I hate the Pacers but only since 2005 *FU Doc Rivers but I hate the Knicks more, GO INDIANA

Alexi Nemov is in a commercial with the worst skater of all time. He deserves better.

Aly Raisman got drug tested while visiting Access Hollywood. As funny as this is I cannot believe they followed her to a interview.lol

Courtney McCool is talking about her experience leading up to the Olympics.

Looks like they are up-loading the speeches.

Miller’s speech is 3 plus minutes. Lilia Podkopayeva is 4 plus minutes, Milo’s is 5 and Dominique Dawes talks about herself in the third party and babbles about how great she is for ten minutes.lol even her compliments for others is about her.

Get over yourself DoDa

More Speeches

Svetlana Boginskaya The gum fiend

Part 1
Part 2

Its a great interview, kudos to the blog for the interview. Sabrina plans on continuing to train elite to make the 2016 Olympic team. Maybe a new coaching situation can turn things around but I don’t see her making any Olympic team.

The one thing I did find interesting in this interview was when Sabrina talks about how different her new gym is vs her old. She states this gym is all about upgrading pretty much implying her old gym kept her back.

Just finished up judging the compulsory session at the ranch…girls did good!!

— Chellsie Memmel (@CMemmel) May 14, 2013

How does it feel to live life without a soul Chellsie Memmel ? I wonder if she has any clue just how many people feel she literally sold her soul to the devil for a job?

There doesn’t seem to be a single gymnast supporting Aly for DWTS. Same way no one gave a shit that Shannon Miller had cancer. I guess gymnasts don’t support gymnasts unless it involves a TV appearance.

In general Alicia the person does not impress me. Spoiled Queen Bee’s that have their minions do their dirty work for them are not high on my list of favorite people but Alicia the gymnast with clean form has always impressed me but this blog isn’t about Alicia the Gymnast. Its about Alicia the beamer. That’s right I called Alicia , a beamer.

Okay so in general nothing Alicia ever did in beam was very impressive. Watching her back in 2004 or 2005 or 2006 you wouldn’t have been surprised at all with what happened in 2008

but what happened after 2008 is pretty impressive. Alicia, the beamer never missed another beam routine. Call it Alicia being stubborn. Call it Alicia wanting to prove Marta wrong but whatever you call it, not missing a beam routine in 3 years is pretty impressive in my book and that is why, for now I call Alicia Sacramone, a beamer:)
