Yeah, I was happy for her too. I agree about Nastia Liukin, but man, she's fucking talented. Sometimes she looks gangly, but she can flip like no one's business, and she has that traditional long lean look.
Before the Olympics, I thought Shawn Johnson--also, seriously, the female form of the name is Shawn-A--was conceited. I thought it was actually a symptom of the whole team. "We're the beam team--beam specialists." Girls, everyone prefers an underdog, and clearly, China was going to have a small edge as the home country. It's better not to count your chickens (or ducks as it were in China).
Shawn really impressed me in defeat during the week, however. She waited her turn. She took the silvers like a pro.
I just always think it's amazing that even the most talented home grown American athletes are stocky and powerful. I don't think we'll ever master that delicate ballet element shit. :-)
yea, nastia is really smooth when she does flips and shit...super russian long and lean..lol her dad is cute though- he's always running around gettin' stuff ready for her...hah
my dad has been glued to the tv because it's in china...all the graphics and all the stadiums are sooo fuckin' cool...
