    Off Topic Wonder What Those Parents are thinking at the Olympics

    I'm just a gymnast, but I know my mom, and she needs medication when she's watching me compete at meets. She could barely watch me do a double back off bars WITH spot, and she couldn't watch after I got it on my own. I just wonder what would happen if I got to the Olympics, which will never...

    Parents Olympic fever!

    It seems like both my girls have caught it from watching the qualifications and finals....I am curious to see how it plays out this season. Last night they weeded debating the merits of the Olympic theme song as optional music. Mind you they are training lvl 4/5..... I wonder how long this...

    Mixed Feeling About the Olympics

    Most people say watching the Olympics inspires them. Me? It makes me depressed. But I still watch it anyways. It's just watching those girls, telling myself, "I wish I could do that." But then I am brought back to bitter reality, and I remind myself, "I don't even have a back hand-spring."...

    Olympic Avatars

    Does anyone know of any sites to get some new and good avatars? London Olympic avatars and gymnasts competing at the games would be great.

    AA final Olympic spoiler

    :eek:How did you guys react to seeing the scores? And if anyone doesn't know, then prepare to be baffled, Jordyn Wieber didn't make the All Around final. She came 3rd after qual sub division 3, behind Aly Raismen and Gabby Douglas, which means... due to 2 gymnasts per country rule, she hasn't...

    Olympics Schedule for all events (idea)

    I was thinking that maybe we should post when the events would air on many different channels, like NBC, CTV, etc. I'm finding it hard to find when certain events are being aired. Certain schedules seem to be more of an events calender rather than a airtime schedule. Maybe we could post the...

    Spoiler Thread for Olympics?

    I was just wondering if CB would have a spoiler thread for the Olympic results? Yes, I know they will be all over the web, but I do like trying to not know ALL of the gymnastics results before I get a chance to watch it on TV.

    Olympics!!!!!

    I'm going to say this without sounding like I'm bragging......My cousin and godmother is on the Olympic Committee, and she lives in the village that the athletes do. So, she's going to get me a USA gymnastics official jacket!!!! Maybe, she'll even meet the Olympic team!!!!

    2012 US Olympic Team thread

    Im really happy with the selections and devastated for Bross and Liukin, but i think their time has come. Maybe this is just me but i dont think that the 2012 team has is a good form wise compared to the 2008 team. Super excited for the Olympics now:)

    USA Olympic Teams.....

    Men's team announced a little while ago..... Danell Leyva, John Orozco, Jonathan Horton, Jake Dalton and Sam Mikulak! The alternates are Chris Brooks, Steven Legendre and Alex Naddour. Personally, I love the team, but would have skipped Legendre for someone else....I just don't trust him...

    Olympic gymnast age question?

    I am wondering which Olympic female gymnast started gymnastics at the latest age? (Sorry, I'm not quite sure how to word it.) Basically, I know Sacramone started gymnastics around 10, and I'm wondering if any other Olympic gymnast started later than that? Thanks! (:
