Well, let's set aside the fact that Sacramone failed miserably in the team competition, falling on her butt and whatnot. Ouch.

Shawn Johnson is a little packed powerhouse. She kind of reminded me a little of Mary Lou Retton.... just that huge burst of strength in such a tiny package.

If you look though, she had developed BUTTOCKS. NONE of the women had wide HIPS. Once your body starts to mature and your pelvic bones start to widen, and you get a noticeable waist and wider hips like an adult woman, it's physically more difficult to do some of those movements.

I agree with Alex. We should be judging adults on what adults can do, even if it means they might not be able to do quite the same limber stuff as a 14-year-old can do.

Steph -- that Time article is the ick. All the more reason for me to increase my hatred towards the Chinese government. Patooey!

One of the (Bulgaria? Russia? not sure) volleyball players playing against the US last night had the last name "Gaydarski".
I found that funny in a juvenille, silly way.

I imagined him going around to all the athletes in a thick accent:

"You, American diving of synchronicity, you are a gay."

"You, rolling in sand with other female volleyball player. You are gay female like Etheridge, Melissa."

"You, Phelps. You are not a gay. But many queens across your country have crush on you..."

"You male gymnast, you are gay like male hanging out in Build-A-Bear Store without girlfriend."

I think this one would trip a different -dar than gaydar.
