     Is anybody watching the Olympics? I have been watching some of the women’s gymnastics and it is so cool to watch. I totally admire these women for their strength and agility. They put so much hard work into preparing for this big event. I’m sure I can’t even imagine how much training they do. It seems like they get more and more strong as the years go by. It seems like the girls used to be more petite and dainty. Now they have the big, broad shoulder and six pack abs. So many of these girls are just plain ripped! Their coaches must have them on a weight training program of some sort. You can also tell how much their coaches truly care for these girls. I just watched this one girl fall twice from the balance beam and I’m not sure who was hurting most, the coach or the gymnast. But, oh man if these girls do good, the coaches just beam with pride. It’s like these girls are their own, and I guess in a way they are. These coaches teach and sculpt these girls to be the best they can be. I must say my favorite part of the gymnastics is the floor routines. It seems like the girls have so much fun doing their routines. It seems like you get to see more of their personalities during this part. They get to have music and add a little swagger into their routine that they normally don’t get to. I will say that I always get nervous for the girls when they back the heels into the corner, they get so close to the out of bounds line. I just cringe! I’m sure that they’ve done that so many times they think nothing of it. I just wish they wouldn’t get so close!
