Thanks Don.

Hey, he’s launched a website called Flip For Charlie:

… my most important challenge- making the 2012 Olympic team. Despite the obstacles I may face, I know with your support my Olympic dream can be kept alive. I would like nothing more than to give back to a country that has already given me so much.

Sincerely,
Charlie Tamayo

Talking to kids at the big meet in Idaho this weekend, they like best two things:

1) March-in like a big College Meet.

Great West Gym Fest 2010

2) Meeting inspiring Olympians

Florida over Georgia Gymnastics

My friend Courtney told me her team had a great meet but was edged out by Florida.

Both teams plan to win National Championships hosted this year at Florida.
