July 18th, 2008 | Gymnastics, Olympics, psychology

This is it. Final “mock meets” for Marta and the selection committee are scheduled for today and Saturday.

The American Team should be announced Saturday night.

Camp gossip on Gymnicestics and Polish101- Gymnastics. (Sounds to me like Shayla may grab the last spot on the competition team, after all.)

Though there is less doubt about the final selection than ever in the past, the pressure on these young women is immense. Perhaps greater than that they will face in Beijing.

The USA will be far more psychologically prepared for the Olympic Team Final than China.
