Yay! America!


So, America did really well at the world championships in gymnastics. The women won the gold while the men placed forth. now, I say women's title because that's what it's called, but they aren't really women so much as girls. With tremmendous pressure. And scary, scary dads. Well, at least for Liukin. She has one crazy, scary, eastern-european dad. When she didn't win last year at nationals he barely congratualated her. She didn't even look at him until after she found out she got second place. All after a minor mistake caused point deductions. I wonder if she or the others are having the times of their lives or just going through the motions because they have trained so hard. The men on the other hand are actually men, little men.

US Open



The US Open started on Monday but my lack of cable has resigned me to viewing updates on their website. They have this section where you can see who's serving and it gives real time scores. I find it odd that there is no late nite network coverage like there is for Wimbledon. So, this is my lot. I'm routing for a Williams sister or anyone that isn't Henin or Sharapova. And Roger on the men's side. I know, I know, it's the US Open and I should be routing for an American, but I really like the favorite.
