Fun at the Gymnastics Nationals


Wes and I had a great time last night. We went to see the Men's competition at the VISA National Gymnastics Championships, at Reliant Arena. It was very exciting! It's so much more impressive LIVE. Most of you know that I'm a big Hamm twins fan. Both Paul and Morgan did great. Paul had the highest score on all of his events until he got to vault, and then Morgan got the highest score. On Paul's final event, parallel bars, he hurt his hand and fell, so that score wasn't so good. He did however maintain his substantial lead in the All-around standings. I'm really excited that they tied for 1st on floor X.

Sean Townsend is another olympic gymnast that was supposed to be competing last night, but he hurt his shoulder in practice, earlier this week and had to withdraw from this competition. Anyway, he sat right next to us during the competition, so we had like professional comentary right there in our seats. So cool. I forgot to take a picture though. I did get a picture with Carly Patterson, the women's Olympic All-Around Champion though. Here it is. She's a pop-singer now. Her new CD is out in August, but you can hear her single on i-tunes now. It's called "Temporary Life (ordinary girl)".
