Can you beleive it....

USA metal after metal....

no they are not taking them all, but are taking a fair share...

and ya just gotta love Carlie Patterson... even with a rough day today, I have been watching the trial since they began, and yesterday she had a couldnt miss day... nailed every thing... today was rough but she pulled out of the slump to pull off the silver with the team effort for the US Olympic Gymnastics Team...

the romainian gals they were just a pleasure to watch, using the stradigy of the tortus slow and steady wins the race, they pull off the gold...

there were no slouches on the russian team tho' the battle for the bronze with china would have been a knock down drag out fight had not one of the gals landed on her face on the un even bars... fortunatly she was not hurt.

well you may know by now what my favorite game at the olympics is.

now that the team events are over the individual events will begin tomarow...

I will be watching for my favorite "Carlie" from texas to come home with a gold, she has some tough compitition ahead of her. from what I have seen she has the talent, she just needs to hold it together....

Its official, Carly Patterson takes gold in the all around womens gymnastics..... A ledgend in her own time.

for those of you who had been following her progress over the last several months can attest to her greatness. she is a pleasure to watch because she looks like she is having so much fun...

she came from 8th place after the first of 4 rotations (4 events) to claim the gold.... She had me holding my breath there for a moment... (a long moment)[url "javascript: addTag('shocked')"][shocked][/url]

I can not even emagin the amount of work it took for her to get to the gold. but from what I hear it has been a 10 year treck starting at a frends birthday party...

well I know you are to old for the world olympics and to young for the sinior olympics, that leaves the kids... do they have any notions? just think of the fishing you can get in inbetween compitions all over the world....

The US is rocking this year. All the countries are doing a good job and have sent some good talent for the competions.

I noticed that the US was sweeping the majority of the running events. Mens and Womens.

Way to go USA!!!
