Does anyone have a link to the 2008 Olympics beam finals medal ceremony? I can't find it anywhere. I don't mind if it is in a montage, as long as it doesn't have a watermark. I am trying to make a montage of Shawn Johnson, and I would really like to have that in there. I am surprised I couldn't...
Need a room with an English family?
We moved from Greenville SC (Greenville Gymnastics Training Center) to Haywards Heath, England in 2011. I'm American, husband is British and our daughter Phoebe got her start in gymnastics in the US, moving quickly through level 1 and 2 requirements to join...
Hey guys! I was just wanting to know who you all think/want to be on the Olympic team! My predictions are:
1. Wieber
2. Raisman
and hopefully
3. Nastia
4. Gabby
and either
5. Maroney/Li/Finnegan (I'm partial to Sarah because she's close to my home gym :D)
Okay, this may sound kind of stupid, but I have been wondering about it for a while. How come the number of girls on the Olympic team keeps going down? It went from 7 to 6, and now it's going down to 5! What is the reasoning behind this? Wouldn't it be better to give more people a chance?

~~~~HE SHOULD NOT HAVE WON ~~~~~~
He didn't present to the D1 Judge when he completed his exercise. That should be a FIG penalty of 0.3. (Article 2 Sect. 2e) page 6.
Yoo Won-Chul (KOR) should have...
I am so excited. I decided that as I couldn't get Olympic tickets that I would go to Olympic Trials in San Jose.
Flight, hotel and car rental are booked. Just need to get my all sessions ticket!!! :D
Not sure who else is going, let me know if you are.
So Exciting! The torch has now arrived in the UK!
It's in my town next Thursday, just down the road from our club, so we are taking the gymnasts to see part of the relay!
Hello, I am new to this forum so I apologize if this not the correct section to ask this. I'm in search of level 1 tickets to the woman's events. Only level 2 tickets are still available on Ticketmaster. Does anyone know of any website/forum where extra tickets are being sold?
most people get really motivated when they watch the gymnasts performing at the olympics. i gets sort of upset because im never going to be as good. My Gymnastics club doesn't do elite training programs, the max amount of hours of training i am allowed to do is 9 which i do. i'm 15 so i can't...
Its that time of year and DD has to do her speech in the yearly speech competition at school for Grades 1-3. She was told not to do gymnastics as that has pretty much been her topic of choice on all speeches. I always thought it was better to talk about what you know, but I see what they are...
This question is just one of idle curiosity for you seasoned gym folk. Does an Olympic year typically bring an uptick in enrollment in general and is it tied to Team USA's performance (or your country's performance for those in other countries)?
Hi, so I am doing a research paper on the controversy of the Chinese gymnasts ages at the 2008 Olympics, and whether or not they should get their medals stripped like they did in the 2000 Olympics. I am wondering if you guys had any opinions about it, and if you knew of any research databases...
We are heading down for a meet this weekend at the Olympic Training Center. It is always so cool for the boys to get to compete there, and usually get to see some of the National Team guys or others that are in residence. YOu never know for sure, though. Kinda disappointed that D's session...
We'll be attending the Olympic Trials in San Jose and I'm wondering if anyone has information regarding fun happenings in the area. Especially gymnastic-related activities. Is it possible to attend the trade show held in conjunction with Congress? :D :D :D
Since the women's events don't...
I am having trouble thinking about what to include in my research paper. I'm trying to get info on each girl, and the coaches and I'm having trouble finding information on Amy Chow, Amanda Borden, and Jaycie Phelps:confused:. What should I include and any info on anyone expecaliy on the ones...
My husband and I are planning to attend the Olympic Trials in San Jose. We have no experience in attending gymnastic competitions. We are looking at All-Session ticket packages for $250, $310 and $525. Does anyone have any experience with these seating levels? Also, does anyone have a strong...
