Third Rotation

Yawn. I'm bored. I know it's a post Olympic year worlds, a rebuilding phase, but at least in 2005 we had a good rivalry between Nastia Liukin and Chelsie Memmel.

And, I refuse to comment on the floor exercises as long as the commentators insist on using the term "dance" in connection to it. The code of points needs to come up with a new word for what the movements between tumbling passes are called. Also, in the time it took Koko Tsurumi (who I have otherwise enjoyed) to set up for one of her turns, I could've gone to the bathroom and back. If you have to think about that long, it ain't dance.

It is because of this lack of dance that I like the new rule on the women's side- they have to fully stick their landings. They can't step back and dance out of it, well cause they don't dance.

Bross- very strong routine and nice to see a Patterson done well.

Sloan on beam- Wobble, wobble (sigh).

Porgras on the beam- What a lovely start, showing beautiful form and flexibility. Such a shame.

I almost can't be bothered with the rest of them. I'm going to slice the brownies.
