Another moving post by Couch Gymnast, this time on the Gold medal Bars win by Beth Tweddle:
… Cairns remarked to the girls, “Imagine of she wins a gold in London 2012.”
Well, she would be so famous that she’d never be able to leave the house again, that’s for sure. …
… One of the nicest gifts I have had this Worlds is the cheeky pleasure of standing behind Beth Tweddle and Amanda Kirby as they watched the rest of the final unfold. The fun of listening to them chat lies in the way they are just so very mundane and real in these major sporting moments. It was more like listening to an old married couple watch television than watching a World Championship event final.
They have done this before. So many times. …

Terrific insight. Thanks Brigid.
