Stuff and nonsense.

Here’s some articles for your reading pleasure…
Taking the Gold - a Brown University alum writes about Alicia Sacramone.
(You’ll notice that in the pictures she’s still wearing that wrist/hand brace that she was wearing back in Stuttgart.)
Now on to Shawn Johnson. I feel so bad - I want to like her, but all this media attention she’s getting makes me liken her to gymnasts who I didn’t like so much (*cough*Moceanu*cough*). Which is unfair really, but I can’t help it!
Article about Shawn that may cause some ire.
And of course, NBC talks to their Golden Girl (and she hasn’t even gone to Trials yet).
NBCOlympics.com Interviews Shawn
Shawn gets a Land Rover (?) for her birthday.
It’s such an honor.
Haha just when i was forcing myself to like the girl, articles like these have to be written, dont get me wrong shawn is a GREAT gymnast, but they have literally put the gold in her hands. Its like the rest of the national team is not on this earth, they must feel some sorta bad, oh well its a part of life.Hopefully ill start to like her non artistic style of gymnastics soon.
I think alicia will make the olympic team, she’s really a great gymnast!!!
