Nope. You can see a white bra under a white shirt. Always nude under white.

My first car was a 1977 Datsun B210. It was my mom’s first ever brand new car, and she didn’t buy another brand new car for at least 25 more years. It got stolen not long after she bought it, and was returned to her with a smashed front end. My dad’s company was on strike, so the insurance money got used to pay…

“How’d ya sleep, Jack?” “On me back, Mush.”

The Gymternet is a great website. There is a large community of well connected gymnastic fans, bloggers, and commentators, which is also identified generically as the gymternet. If you are a gymnastics fan, or want to become one, sites like Gymcastic and The Balance Beam Situation are also pretty fantastic.

At least that is one possibility. The judges don’t have to say specifically how they award credit for start value.

She touched the beam after the single wolf, but completed a triple. She had to get credit for either a triple, or for the connection of two turns.

This is the same routine from night one of competition.

It helped. Because she didn’t fall she got a deduction for the bobble, but got credit for both a single wolf turn and a triple turn, with a .1 bonus for connecting the two elements. She usually only does a double wolf turn. It was her highest score on beam this year.

Try it in your living room. Just try a single wolf turn (without the standing up). The counter balance and strength it takes is amazing...and then do it on a four inch wide piece of wood four feet in the air.

I’m going to disagree. Girls and boys are physically different, yes, but my sisters and I were all physically different as well. We all played soccer, softball, danced, and cheered. We all needed different kinds of coaching in each of those areas. Coaching is teaching and just like any other kind of teaching, all…

I have a career in education, I am a former coach, and current official. It is absolutely amazing how many parents think winning a game is the most important thing. I know more than one parent who has bullied a doctor into clearing an athlete who clearly should not be competing.

Because his daughter is an athlete...my dad coached two daughters and two sons. That meant he coached other children, both boys and girls, as well.

Yes. I hate him even when he wins. I know his numbers look good, but I just have never been convinced he is the great quarterback so many people think he is.

The Jerry Jones hate is real! That guy pisses me off all the time.

A 55 yard field goal attempt, at that. Even though he missed, it was beautiful. I am always thankful for Bailey.

Ummm...God didn’t make them that way. They are choosing! Duh! They just need to pray more and they will be healed.

Very soon after seeing the calf-implant episode, I had a first date with a guy who sounded just like him. Every time he said anything, I had flashbacks of that episode. It was also our last date, which probably wasn’t fair to him, but I just couldn’t!

Gah!!! You don’t have to put your hand on your heart! That isn’t the standard practice. Go to any sporting event, at any level, on any day and witness most everyone, athletes and fans alike, stand. Just stand! Pissed me off so much.

The priority is the team. Martha has said that over and over. In quals and team finals, Gabby was consistent and scored very well.

Except if you look at the team makeup, there were some very good reasons to choose Gabby (and Madison) over MyKayla, Ragan, and Ashton. Both can do all around, which made them built in alternates for the team. Once competition starts alternates cannot be brought in, so it is a better strategy to have built in…
