and this young lady is amazing. She joined this team right after winning the America's Cup which, according to her coach, made her the top gymnast in the world. And she has had a long childhood in gymnastics which made her not enjoy it for nearly a decade. But after working with this coach, she has rediscovered her love for the sport and this is the obvious result.

She's 21 and amazing, got a perfect 10/10 score for that routine!!

along with figure skating when I was young, I always watch those two competitions in the Olympics. She is precise and witty, I like her agility and she looks so confident and takes it all on with ease.

Yeah, she's really good.

out there, but just before she starts a serious tumbling routine, her expression changes from a big smile to a very focused look. I thought it was very interesting.

I still can't figure out how she bounces out of a split, right up onto her feet. Amazing!
