I’m just saying. If you ever need a good, hearty laugh, the Couch Gymnast blog is the place to be.
It’s where Vanessa Ferrari plots world domination, Simona Amânar draws graffiti on the equipment, Beth Tweddle gives advice on how to do your hair, Yelena Produnova is soooo Beyonce, and Anna Pavlova is constantly drunk.

Grace Taylor article

Because she’s the only other GymDawg (aside from Courtney Kupets) that can make me sit up and watch. (Although watching her casting to handstand last year reminded me of Beth Tweddle’s, and not in the good way.)
So without further ado: “Amazing Grace” Taylor. Enjoy.
(Thanks to Gymnastics Coaching for the link.)
Well, this isn’t good news…

Triple Full, one of my favorite gymnastics blogs ever since its inception, has taken its final salute. Accordingly, lack of time and busy-ness has been cited as the cause, and I understand and can commiserate.
My own updates are few and far between, due to lack of interest in Mob Boss Karolyi’s recent dealings and my [...]
Scrunchie Girl Defeats Bridget

No offense meant to Miss Wieber, who is surely a wunderkind, but I am so glad I did not watch the American Cup.
It’s so odd to hear new outlets calling Bridget “the veteran”, with Alicia retired, Sam P. working her way back, Nastia and Shawn busy being celebrities, and who knows where the hell Chellsie [...]
Shawn, Nastia, and Alicia do more celebrity thingies

Shawn is moving to Hollywood. Briefly. (Sorry, there’s no video of that.) This sounds like a summer movie – “Miss Johnson Goes To Hollywood”.
Nastia and her very interesting modeling shoot.
Alicia hangs out with basketball people, sponsored by Gatorade. I want Gatorade.
They’re milking the professional athlete thing, for [...]
“You Seek The Holy G!”

Rick at Gymnastics Coaching has uncovered yet another gem: Alicia Sacramone in an outrageously long Gatorade commercial.
I don’t know who the other people are, but watch first and ask questions later. AHAHA MISTY MAY-TREANOR AND KERRI WALSH ARE IN IT. THAT AUTOMATICALLY MAKES IT WORTH WATCHING.
Gymnastike’s coverage is the bestest evar

Gymnastics Coaching pointed me to this video of Shawn, Nastia, and Alicia “coaching” young gymnasts at a competition, and while I wouldn’t go so far as to call them “legends” yet (give it a few years), it’s still pretty awesome.
Happy February, everyone.
