Don't forget the men! Seriously...there's some cool stuff in this vid! Click mute if you can't stand the music (mom).

gym week 6 - china

Well. I'm a bit late this week. To bad...

This week is a montage of Chinese gymnastics by Nade00. I chose it because I think it really shows how beautiful gymnastics can be. Plus I love the song :) Ok, don't ask me why, but I just tried pasting into this post, and it worked, so I guess I'll embed it. Enjoy!

And the winer of dwts is...

Shawn Johnson!

Yea!

I'm on my dads computer so that i can paste. So, here is her perfect 30 freestyle!



You can see the paso doble HERE. Watch the judges advising the stars HERE.

The school year is almost over, and summer is coming up fast...

4 weeks until we leave for Maine.

5 weeks until MICA starts

8 weeks until GS camp with Rachel and Selena!

10 weeks until MARS... with Rachel (and her friend Rachel) and Selena and loads of other awesome friends!

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Last concert...

The last concert of the season was yesterday. It was actually really good. And fun :) There's still the cabaret left, but I'm not performing because it's the same night as the gym meet. It's been a long season, with 4 concerts. We've been working since January. And now it's over. And I'm sad. :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( in the very unlikely chance that anyone from choir ever sees this, I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lizzy Leduc!

You might remember that the week 4 gymnastics vid was a floor routine by Lizzy Leduc. Well, that was from about 2 years ago when she was level 8, and just last weekend she won level 10 nationals for her age group! Congrats, Lizzy! (lol, even though she'll never see this) Oh, and this means that she made the JO national team!

Skating news

Most of this is old news, but I'm guessing most of you don't know yet (probably meaning you don't care, but I need to dump my useless knowledge somewhere). So here goes.

SASHA COHEN IS ATTEMPTING A COMEBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good new for US figure skating... bad news for all the skaters trying to make the team. But who knows, maybe she won't make it very far. Her ankle is currently injured, and she's starting training in June. Because she was a silver medalist in the Torino 2006 Olympics, she is automatically qualified to nationals. (She also competed in 2002, and placed 4th) She has said that she would except an invitation to compete a skate america. Skate America is part of the Grand Prix, which is a series of 6(?) competitions from which the top 6 skaters are invited to the final. Skaters hoping to take part in the final compete in 2 events each. Since Sasha did not compete last year, she will have to be invited by the organizers. Skate America seems likely, if only for the TV ratings. A 2nd event is less likely, but not out of the question. Assignments will be given at the end of this month.

Kimmie Meissner is keeping her short program from last year. Her new long program music will be Romeo and Juliet. (love you, twitter)

Emily Hughes is taking the year off of school to concentrate on skating.

Ok, now I've said something about each of the skaters on the 2006 Olympics team (the ladies, that is) and I can't think of anything else, so we'll leave it at that. FYI, for ladies and pairs the US has 2 spots at the Olympics next year, and for men's and ice dance we have 3. (3 is the max)

UPDATE: Michelle Kwan sounds like a maybe for a comeback? Those tweets sound a bit like hints... Click HERE.

Ivana Hong! (week 5)

Click HERE. Ivana Hong has the best form in the country for an elite gymnast, as far as I'm concerned. With a possible exception for Samantha Shapiro. I think that most of the clips in this video are from when she was 12 and younger. Watch an around 0:25 to see a really, really cool transition to the low bar.

OWWWW...

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while. I got braces on tuesday. OWW. And they don't even have colors :( But one cool thing about them is that if i drink something cold, the tension goes away for a little bit :) so that's good. on the list of foods i can't eat, they say doritos, but they don't mention chips! weird weird weird. so yeah. i'm in pain.

Lizzy Leduc fx is week 4!

CUTEST floor routine ever! Plus she was only 10 in this video and those skills aren't exactly easy! She's 12 now and a level 10, and I think she's going for elite either this season or next! I also leove her music. She won't be old enough for 2012. 2016 maybe?

btw, fx is floor exersise.

Enjoy!

AND COMMENT!!!!!!!!

Concert!

Hey all, concert yesterday was good! We got to use music for the German song :) We forgot most of the dynamics though. The rest of the concert was AMAZING!!!!!! The 4 soloists were REALLY good. After the concert the Handel choir gave everyone in the children's choir goody bags and creamsicles lol. They also gave us a standing ovation when we were done singing which I don't think we deserved. Still made me happy though cuz it meant we didn't sound bad. We've still got rehearsal today... :) I don't mind though. Big concert in 2 weeks from yesterday!!
