From Blythe at the Gymblog, who got it from the New York Times:
Olympic Hopes Rooted in Tale of Close Escape
This isn’t the first time that the Times has written an article about Ivana that wasn’t actually about her…the other time they talked about her coach Armine Barutyan and about how HARD and DIFFICULT it was [...]

From Inside Gymnastics.
I hope people remember me as a hard worker.
They already do, Terin. That’s your legacy.

The Romanian Scandals Debacle of 2001-2004
After the 2001 World Championships in Ghent, Romanian gymnastics hit some Hard Times, which I affectionately refer to as the Romanian Scandals Debacle. All these crappy happenings just seemed to hit the Romanian program right and left, which was still being shepherded (more like ‘domineered’ 
by Belu and Bitang. Quite [...]
Hollie Vise Article

It talks about the 2003 world champion’s lack of motivation and fitness entering NCAA (in my opinion mostly due to not making the Olympic team) and how she is doing now.

Terin Humphrey Interview

Because you all know how much I love her…
Inside Gymnastics interviewed Terin by cell phone. Part II of the interview will come later.
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. There is so much that I’m so proud of. But I think the biggest thing is that I stuck around for almost 20 years to [...]
Romanian Gymnastics “is in Crisis”
Posted in Articles, Drama and Gossip, Olympics, tagged romanian gymnastics, sandra izbasa, steliana nistor on March 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
While this article is Bad News, I did snort at the title. Typical Romanian drama-mongering for you…
Comaneci no longer inspires…etc., etc.
While no one believed Belu et. al when they said Romanian gymnastics was at a crisis point in 2002-2003, I see no reason not to disbelieve Forminte yet when he cries “Crisis!” now.
It’s true that [...]

Hope you all had a happy Easter.
So if you hadn’t heard already, Nastia, Shawn, Chellsie, and Alicia were in the most recent issue of Vogue, I assume as some sort of promotional thing for the Olympics. It’s not like they haven’t done it before; during the run-up to the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Vogue did a photoshoot that [...]
Kupets confirmed injured

Not to take away from Nastia’s triumph (YOU GO NAST!), but this just sucks so much.
Kupets Tears Achilles
Even if Courtney were remotely thinking about a Beijing comeback, this probably means No, for real this time. Back when she tore her Achilles in 2003, it took one year to get back into the swing of things. Now [...]
Dasha Joura is a Columnist!
Posted in Articles, Gymnasts, Olympics, tagged 2008 beijing, daria joura, Olympics on February 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
The awesome Aussie Dasha Joura has just begun writing a regular column for PerthNow, which is powered by the Sunday Times. This column will run in the leadup to Beijing.
Dasha Joura, Beijing Test Event–Uneven Bars Event Final:
Notice that the byline calls Dasha an “Olympic gymnast”. Apparently, she is Australia’s best hope. Next to Miss Lauren Mitchell of course.
That [...]
