B-day, future city, gym, Olympics, etc...

I turn 14 today! *does happy dance* *spazzes* yep :)...

Rio got the Olympics. Chicago was out in the first round of voting. It's the first time South America is hosting the Olympics, so I think they'll try pretty hard and make it awesome :)

The US teams for the gymnastics world championships (in just about a week!) have been named. Ok actually the mens team was named a while ago but the womens team was just named on Saturday! The team is Bridget Sloan, Becca Bross, Kayla Williams, and Ivana Hong. Chellsie Memmel withdrew, which means a medal on bars is pretty much not happening... I'll be surprised if any of the girls are even in finals. But Bridget and Becca could both medal in the all around, Ivana might be able to medal on beam, and Bridget and Kayla could both qualify for floor. AND Kayla is planning to compete an Amanar and laid out Rudi at worlds, which she could definitely win vault with! So yeah :)

I'm competing in the future city competition this year! The team is me, Wren (yea, Wren!), and a boy I haven't met yet but I'm very excited to get the whole team together and start working! This is definitely going to be harder then straw bridge, but I'm up for it!

DWTS started a while ago... I'll post my top 5 later but I just have to say, Mya is amazing!

I'm going to post a short story soon, probably sometime this week.

I'm also going to post some vids soon...

Yeah :)

COMMENT!!!!!!!!!

'kay thanks.

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.

HILARIOUS

Unfortunately, this is for real. I feel bad for those 2 guys. REALLY funny though. Click HERE to watch.
