Mens Dream Team

Vitaly Scherbo
Nemov
Andrianov
Paul Hamm
Bilozerchev

 

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Vitaly Scherbo
Nemov
Andrianov
Paul Hamm
Bilozerchev

You know, I always thought Scherbo was overrated. His tumbling wasn't as pretty as some, and a lot of his rings strength (especially his L-cross) was a joke.

I agree with Nemov, Andrianov, and Hamm, though.

Who's Bilozerchev?

 

[gymsquirt604]

shawn johnson
nastia liukin
courtney mccool
venessa ferarri
shantessa pama
carly patterson
ivana hong

-anyone know what happend to shantessa pama or if shes still trying for 08?????

 

[blantonnick]

Dmitri Bilozerchev was a three time Olympic Gold Medalist, eight time Gold Medalist at the World Championships, and ten time Gold Medalist at the European Championships for the USSR...Became World Champion in 1983, then broke his leg in a car accident in 40 different places, then came back in 1987 to regain the World title again. An amazing feat, and an amazing gymnast.
Currently he is the assistant coach for The Ohio State University...
As for Scherbo - second only to Mark Spitz for the most Olympic Gold medals in one Olympics (6 out of the 8 possible). If he is overratted as stated...then every single other gymnast in Barcelona must have really been bad....

I really enjoy peng peng lee... if she were the proper age, she would be a "gotta have" for Canada - she reminds me so much of Tessa Pama... it is unfortunate that peng peng is just not old enough to attend the 2008 olympics.. she will only be 15
