I so wish this girl didn’t break her hand in a gazillion places – twice.

Ah. Is that what happened to her?

Yeah I may be exaggerating a bit but she did break her hand twice and I know the second time was pretty devastating and that forced her retirement. Sigh.

that was jam packed but still stylish and fluid…everything just looked so easy…no finger flicking…no loooonngggg pauses before skills…that alone is probably a pretty novel idea to many gymnasts now-a-days.
