… This moment made me laugh because Kayla was sooo overwhelmed after vaulting so well, that even though she’d already hugged him and then stood there a while, she turned back and clung to him for dear life for a minute because, it seemed she just didn’t know what else to do! Seriously sweet. To me, Kayla won the US’s most well-earned medal for the women. She was consistently brilliant on vault. …

Before Grace Chiu, the great Canadian gymnastics photographer was Dory Dynna.

Dory spent tens of thousands of hours, and tens of thousands of dollars promoting the sport through photography and videography.

Thanks Dory!

Happily he’s recently posted some of his old pics of Canadian and International gymnasts from the 1990s on Shutterfly.

No doubt Kate Richardson will be happy to see this shot back online, taken at the 2000 Olympic Team Training Camp.

Check it out. A blast from the past.

Thanks Michael.

I’ve seen thousands of pics over the last 2 days.

But the best of all were the series posted by The Big Picture.

… But it’s strange I haven’t seen a single routine video as yet.

Great images are distributed via the internet in near real time.

Shout out to Grace Chui and all the photographers over in London for the terrific pics I’ve seen already online, especially on Facebook. This will be the best competition ever, I suspect, for people to see pictures and videos in close to real time.

When I saw the tiny thumbnail photo of this vault posted on Facebook by International Gymnast magazine, I thought:

WOW. A gymnast with amplitude like Alicia!

When I clicked through to the IG page, however, I found … it was Alicia.

Alicia Sacramone- 2005

IG Photo of the Day: September 28, 2009 – Alicia Sacramone (U.S.) vaults at the 2005 World Cup in Paris.

I don’t know if we’ll ever see a female gymnast get this much height again.

Alicia announced she would like to make a comeback. Nothing confirmed so far as I’ve heard.

With the Olympics coming to London in 2012 …

With terrific male gymnasts Junior and Senior in the U.K. …

With a fantastic field in Men’s Artistic Gymnastics, especially this rivalary: Uchimura vs. Hambuchen vs. Horton …

With no Nastia Liukin. No Shawn Johnson. …

I’m predicting this World Championships the Men’s competition may finally start to approach the WAG in popularity with fans and the media. Even those who normally pay no attention to men’s gymnastics will start to get interested.
