Aw I miss Tessa. She was fun to hang around. :D

She really is a great performer!

I recently read an article that stated she will not be vying for a spot on the Olympic team (due to an ankle injury)=

She did say, however, that she's strongly considering an elite comeback for 2009 ("unfinished business").

Though Pama arguably initiated the tsunami of serpentine choreography on balance beam and floor exercises in U.S. artistic gymnastics, I would hope her coach spies on Cheng Fei and Chinese Co. and incorporate less of a flirtatious, Britney-esque routine (a contemporary Kristie Phillips modus of cutesy-operandi), and more intrigue, similar to a Worley or even better, Michelle Kwan's breakthrough long program where she shed her immaturity for a riveting Salome and inaugural golden destiny on ice.
