The Americans and Europeans just seem to have a bulkier upper body than the East Asians who seem to be slighter in build.

If I remember rightly, for gymnastics is better to be shorter and slighter? Some of them do have huge arms, others don't, even when from the same country.

why are gymnasts short according to yahoo answers (interesting and bemusing)

Wish the women would do this instead of prancing around like ninnies to music

Yeah, agreed. Don't like the prancing in between the tumbles.

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I don't even need to google her. That video has been flying around everywhere

I'm not sure I could sit through the women's again. Far too much prancing about. Too much makeup, aswell. And smiling. And blubbing. Will watch the single apparatus events though - Tweddle's uneven bars performance y'day was phenomenal.

 

[Lea]

USA women starting off well on vault with very sparkly and shiny leotards!

 

[Lea]

Chinese girl is 20 yo. She looks like she is only 13 yo!

Nice beam routine for the Italian.
