American Bars

An important sub-plot of Covergirl this weekend. Is the USA finally going to have some depth on their weakest apparatus, Bars?

If so, I’m thinking to change my prediction that Russia will win Olympics 2012. The Red, White and Blue would be near impossible to beat if they are somewhat competitive with Russia and China on Bars.

It was Hideo Mizoguchi who first pointed out to me that the USA will eventually be the dominant sports nation.

Why?

Because the USA has the most genetic diversity. Mizo postulated that over time more unique talents will emerge from that national gene pool than any other.
