hmmmm that middle pass was strangely reminicent of what was to happen months later in Atlanta...come to think of it, I havent seen her be completly safe in that pass at all ( she really de-routes to the right on all of them!)

I like DD but that music was pretty horrendous.

I like her dance. It's really pretty great. And the tumbling was excellent as well.

i assume she didn't make it because i have never heard of her before now

@montanahorselover9 She did make the team. She won a team gold medal and a bronze medal on the floor.

@montanahorselover9 Was that meant to be a joke? A three-time Olympian?

@montanahorselover9 I don't see how you haven't at least heard her name before though. She's the most successful African American gymnast in history. The only one of any gender or nationality to have an Olympic gold medal. She was really popular during her time in the 90's. But if you were born after like 95 I guess I can understand. But if you were born before then, even if you didn't remember her name, you should remember her as the only well-known black gymnast we'd ever seen then up to now.
