Not the best routine I’ve seen him do. Still, the Arab superstar won both prelims and Finals in his own region. Congratulations.

With all the problems right now in his homeland, Jordan, this is one bit of good news.

Super talent. But not as fantastic as I expected. Form and tightness need to be improved considerably for her to contend in the AA at the Olympics.

Plenty of videos from the World Cup meet in Doha are being posted on the NOURSALEHGYM YouTube channel.

A bit shaky, and I’m not just talking about the hand held camcorder.

I don’t often link to Elite Gymnastics Stars because it’s so profane and over the top.

Sarah posts wild, lengthy The Onion style comedy pieces.

You truly need a sick sense of humour to enjoy them. Here’s a sample, written by a friend of the site, Michelle:

Why was Svetlana Khorkina truly bigger than the sport?

There was only one Khorkina, and there will never be another. …

Ah Svetlana Khorkina . . . I miss her. I wish we could borrow her to infuse some life into U.S. women’s gymnastics, which is sorely lacking in so much, in spite of the medal wins and numerical successes of the athletes under the current and recent Code of Points. …

You may have loved to hate her – after all, she had the absolute worst sportsmanship known to exist in the history of the sport, and she expressed it openly in the press and at competitions when she walked around yelling, pouting and otherwise crying and ripping silver medals from around her neck in disgust before she even got off the upper floor area. …

read on at peril to your mortal soul – We need another Khorkina!

… If only Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber would wed …

Do not fear that Rebecca has ruined her life with this viral video. Turns out she’s … pretty awesome.

… Anastasia Grishina seems to have put a couple of falls at Jesolo behind her, and scored 60.025 all around in the prelims of the junior championships. That is, of course, with somewhat inflated scores due to bonus in domestic competitions, which usually seems to add up to about a point …

Aunt Joyce was one of the first 11 people to find that video.

1. Anastasia Grishina 60.025
2. Anastasia Sidorova 58.650
3. Kristina Sidorova 53.000

Those scores via her official website, formerly edited by Alan Owen.

Alan has decided to step back from editing his many sites for east block gymnasts. He’s talking to others about taking over that volunteer job. Including the athletes themselves in some cases.

26yr-old Danielle Hypolito looks to qualify for her 4th Olympics. Respect.
