Still, I was trying to explain to my friend last night how much better the coverage was than even in recent years, but she didn't seem too interested
"Look, I can choose to watch beach volleyball, badminton or Sue Barker"
"But, I don't want to watch any of that...?"

How were your birthday celebrations? :
Eventful and the police were involved!
Further details on the lonely hearts thread.
Just getting ready for my real (offset) b'day celebrations. Hoping it's going to be less unusual.
Just had a read of that. Im glad it worked out ok, but how very worrying.

i love love love gymnastics
just watching Oksana from Germany doing the vault
and the stop frame illustration thing they had yesterday was so cool - they paused the picture at each stage of a jump (in floor work i think) then superimposed the rest of the move with more paused frames over the top.
*is in heaven*

Is Beth Tweedle on later today?

Yep!
*gives a 'gymnast hug' to Mentalchik and foamy!*
Oksana Chusovitina is 33!! Her training and work rate must be ridiculous.
*hi fives melinda in the manner of team Australia*
Oksana is a complete power house - like the other girl from Germany that lives in the Salt Lake City (i'm being rubbish with names today)
really enjoying the russian teams performance too

Beth is another young athlete who was bullied badly through school because of her extra-curricular activities.
Her old school love her now, but at the time staff failed to give her the support she needed to protect from jealous, nasty girls who made her life a misery.
Through bullying and gymnastics and a very pushy mum she barely did enough work to scrape a few poor GCSEs. Her mum totally didnt see the need for Beth to concentrate at school, or do re-takes.

Its pretty sad to know that these athletes were bullied for being good at something.

Agreed, but unfortunately, that's what school is really like.

except the Chinese.
The Romanians don't seem to be performing as well as normally or maybe I was just tired when watching it and they weren't holding my attention.
Glad that diva Khorkina isn't there this year.

I don't know what multistream is but I can't see any gymnastics.
Svetlana Khorkina
LOVED that woman! I wanted to be her!I fell in love with her on the asymmetric bars when I was about 14.
She was stunning on the floor too. She was tall and strong and powerful and beautiful. Though apparently she was a major cow to the younger girls in her team. They hated her!
