Just a steam-letting off moment- I get to watch the track & field competitors fight for 3 places in the Games, but swimming which used to allow 3, just grants a measly 2 slots for a country. Yes, I know it was originally done to limit US dominance in the pool back when, but the swimming world is a very different place today. If a country can sweep the top 3 places in the games today, then that would be neat and I don't care which country it would be.
How do you feel?
I agree, that David Koresh-esque gymnastics compound in the middle of nowhere was a little scary. And, I could not understand a word that woman was saying. I heard on NBC that USA gymnastics is moving beyond the Bella Karoli (sp?) days. Isn't his wife the coach this year?
Elite gymnastics has always struck me as a little odd but when you place dozens of teen girls in a fortified shed at the end of a dirt road led by a tandem of defected transylvanians, it just gets me even more uncomfortable. I was happy to see the age and personalities shine through at the US Swim Trials.
