2012 Olympics - Go Team USA!
Emily and I spent this morning searching for news on Team USA girls. What a shock to find out that Jordyn Wieber did not qualify for the Individual All Around final. More news at http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Olympics/2012/0729/Olympics-shocker-Jordyn-Wieber-US-all-around-gymnast-fails-to-qualify
Well, as Michael Phelps just discovered, 4th place is not where anyone wants to be. My heart goes out to Jordyn, her coach and her family. She's worked so hard, she's still the World Champion.
We will continue to root for the ENTIRE US TEAM. Personally I just love Ali Raisman's Floor routine and music, as for Gabby Douglas - she really can fly on the bars! It will always be a team effort and we'll be rooting for them to win gold!
Our men's favorite is John Orozco. He's such a nice kid and has such great heart. We'll be cheering him on this evening. Emily and I have decided that we're going to go watch the next summer Olympics in 2016. Rio, here we come!
UPDATE ON EMILY'S STATUS
Emily's new skills are:
Kip, cast, handstand, three-in-a-row, on Uneven Bars
Front walkover, tik tok on the high beam, without a mat!
Emily's coach tells me that when she performs a twist, Emily knows exactly where her body is at all times while tumbling. Emily's a pretty good tumbler I have to admit. The first time I saw her do a back layout, she took my breath away. I was shocked at the air that she got.
