watching your gymnast compete

Rita Wieber:

When watching your daughter compete on beam in a gymnastics meet you are:

A) trying to hide the fact that you actually have your eyes closed…

B) holding your breath for the entire routine…

C) jiggling in your seat to the point where those sitting with you are giving you dirty looks…

D) saying prayers repeatedly in your mind..

E) all of the above

Last year in Japan we were chatting with Uchimura’s Mom at a competition. She was intensely nervous when her daughter Haruhi was competing Beam. But while Kohei was winning the Horizontal Bar final, she casually took a phone call.
