olympics

Does anyone know more about this and what gymnasts will be competing? I do know that this is for ages 14-18 only (hence the name "Youth"), but wasn't sure which athletes/countries would be competing since it is the first ever Youth Olympics. I, personally, am excited to see the junior age...

okay, i feel really dumb, but i have never asked anyone how the "new" scoring system works. it isnt out of ten anymore. if you know any of these answers, that would help. when exactly did the new scoring system start? is it used in only high levels, or do lower levels use this system as...

I am really thinking about competing in Virginia Beach in August at the Jr Olympic Games. Can someone tell me what the difference is between competing as an intermediate optional and a level 8? Also, is there somewhere I can find out the requirements and skills that are needed to be put in to...

So is everyone here watching the Vancouver Olympics? I know its not as cool as summer Olympics cuz there isn't any gym, but I still love watching the games! I had fun watching the opening ceremonies. And I think its funny that the Canadians don't have enough snow....they can gladly have...

Here's an interesting short piece featuring the pressures that the girls had to perform under to make the 2008 Olympic team. I think it really does a great job of demonstrating how special these girls are to be able to perform at that level under such enormous pressure. Gymnastics on Vimeo

I posted a reply on the adult gymnastics competition forum but noticed that not many people have been paying attention to that thread recently so I decided to start another specifically having to do with the aau junior olympics this year. I was wondering how many of you are planning on...

Does anyone know the names of the Olympic songs?! I know there are "The Offical Album For Beijing 2008 Olympic Games One World One Dream" and the Team USA Soundtrack, but neither of those have those really epic songs I heard on the Olympics! I can't really hum you a tune on the internet, nor...

Just had two observations and was wondering what other parents were thinking.. First: Do you discuss how you feel about the scoring at these Olympics with your dd? At the moment I am keeping quiet and say let's listen to the commentators & hear what they have to say. :o Second: I'm also...
