Interesting things learned from browsing articles on Nationals:
- Mary Lee Tracy, Ashley Priess’ coach, is just as clueless as we are on why Ashley just decided to up and quit. She is disappointed (Mary Lee, I mean). A part of me is cheering Ashley on for saying “Screw You” to the System, but another part of me is crying.
- Sac is training an Amânar for the express purpose of giving Cheng Fei a “run for her money”. (I bet Simona is sitting happy in Romania knowing that “her” vault will be the DECIDING FACTOR for many things this upcoming Olympics.)
Time for picture:

I would be very jolly indeed if Stela gets that aerial to scale on beam named after her, because it would amuse me greatly.
trying not to look like an internet surfing freak, but CGA already took ashley priess off their elite page (where they have pics and links to the elites’ bios). that was fast!
