I do agree that they were all highly scored. But I read somewhere that they already somewhat handpick the athletes they want to compete at Worlds but make it seems like they won it by competition. That may very well be possible, so that may reason wht the scores were so high.

Oh, and if anyone's interested, probably only one person here, here are the results from Fantasy Gymnastics at AMG. These are the only two entries I got, so if I missed yours, I'm deeply sorry. I was gone when AMG shut down. Anywho, here they are from finals:

Seniors

- Megan (Nastia, Chellsie, Jana, Alicia [Alt.]) Score - 150.364

- Kelsey (Natsia, Hayley, Alicia, Chellsie) Score - 146.578

Juniors

- Megan (Shantessa, Shawn, Samantha P., Bianca) Score - 145.111

- Kelsey (Shawn, Samantha M., Catherine, Christa) - 136.827

Junior Fantasy Champion: Megan

Senior Fantasy Champion: Megan

I may do this for worlds on Gottalk, but I'm still thinking about that.

woohoo I rock.

Is AMG ever coming back? *Confuzzled* Anyways, urgh, all of them were overscored. The scoring on vault jr/sr men/women was mental. I didn't even think all of them were that clean but still they were high. I really hope that the men get some sort of star soon. Todd hasn't competed internationally in....? I know they took a few NCAAs to Bercy, France but they didn't have a very good showing, the highest was probably what? a 5th place. *sigh* Worlds should be exciting but I don't know how the Americans will size up. Nastia, Alicia, and Chellsie I assume will get international respect but that can only take them so far. And if Nastia doesn't do what she actually says she is going to do in her darn routines... she should just figure out what her limits are. It's sad because I'm looking forward to the Jr. Pan Am team more than the Worlds team lol.

True. I would really like to see her do a quad, but if she can't that's fine. I was just kind of surprised when she did a 2.5 during the prelims and the judges scored it as a 3.5 (not sure about the scoring part though, just heard that). :mellow: It will be interesting to see how the US stacks up among others. But I think Jana will probably have quite a bit of respect becasue she's from Germany, but I'm not to sure about that.

I think I'll have to go somewhere to get stationary, envelopes, and stamps. I just looked and I didn't have anything. Let's see, if I write 5 gymnasts thats...10 stamps, 10 envelopes, and 5 stationaries. Hmm...luckily I still have my b-day money on hand. ^_^

Oh, and congrats to megan on winning the Fantasy thing, forgot to say that before.

Oh! *Sigh* I didn't even think about that... I can always steal some of my dad's. Anyways, I don't think it matters where Jana was born because she's trained here and lived her and is a US citizen. Just like I don't think it matters where Nastia was born, she just gets fuss because of who her parents are. Same for Sasha Artemev <3 (Gah!) I'm excited for tonight to see if Sacramone's FX deserved even a 9.7 on normal standards. I hope she deserved her 9.9 but I don't think so.

She probably deserved a 9.9 by USA's retarded judges. No way in this world will she EVER get a 9.9 outside of a USA national meet. (for Elite that is)

Jaime, Todd competed at that France meet earlier this year but did bad lol

The Bercy thing? I think ALL of them did bad. The meet where they had the picture of Alvarez doing the backflip in front of the Eifel Tower? Eh.

Lol, Cody! I rewatched your Nastia montage. Lol, I still love it. It's so cute, but the replay thingy you did I was so confused I thought somethign was wrong with my winamp I was like NOOOOOOO DAMNIT!

I cant wait until Abomb and the GGMB crew get all of the vids they managed to get edited and such. AND for all of the gymnasts site to get updated with PICS so I can start makin some blends

Fun beans!! I'm tiiiiiiiiiired and I want senior pics.

Thanks for the compliment. The replay thing was definitely the thing I worked hardest on, even though it still isn't the greatest. I suppose one would get that feeling of computer crashing. lol

My Nastia one would probably be one of my better ones. Hope she liked it; maybe I could write that in my congrats note saying I made it. But then that'd be the second one I made for her she's seen and she'll think I'm a nut, so I may not. ^_^

Oh lord yes. That's one of the best parts of big meets, all of the updates. I've only been on one site and it was crowded with updates. Better go on some other ones to compare.

Abomb needs to take over NBC for commentating. He rocks my socks!

I NEED TESSA SHAWN SAM BIANCA PICS!

Golly gee, I missed the first half of the competition on NBC again. Just my luck. :D But from what I saw, the scores did seem a bit high and I wish they would've shown more than 4 gymnasts and maybe make it a bit longer (I mean, a beach volleyball exhibition game was 1.5 hours) but oh well. Congrats to Nast! The new National Champ! *Waves novelty flag in the air* ^_^ And congrats to all of the other gymnasts as well!

Wee! Now I got to start writing mail!

I have already wrote 4 letters which I hope to send out tomorrow. I should also be recieving a letter from TESSA sometime this week

She probably deserved a 9.9 by USA's retarded judges. No way in this world will she EVER get a 9.9 outside of a USA national meet. (for Elite that is)

Jaime, Todd competed at that France meet earlier this year but did bad lol

well as the great NBC commentators said, she did deserve it and they "did the right thing"

I didnt watch it closely becuase I watched a smallt v while using my other. But to me PERSONALLY it didnt look hugely amazing.

what the heck. Nobody posted in this topic after seeing it televised. lol

Sacramone = very over scored

Nastia = didn't get to see too much of her

My friends = the guys were highly impressed by their flexibility but none of them are "hott" except maybe Sacramone but one of them wants Jana Bieger's bod haha, they also seemed to think it was really funny that Nastia's mom leaves because I don't think they understood why she left so they were like "holy crap! her mom doesn't even want to watch her... Jaime why the fuck are we watching this?!" I was like... tards.

I didn't see Sacramone's FX, but a 9.9 is way, way high for just about anyone these days. If I were Nastia's mom, I'd totally be scared to watch her perform, I mean flips and jumps and stuff, that could get on a mother's nerves.

And lol to your guys friends and their thoughts. ^_^ Guys, can't live with, can't live without them. :lol:

Wee! Found a place that has stamps! I got a 20 roll now I can write to 10 gymnasts (but I think I'll save some for future times, I can't write that much). Now all I need to do is wait for another store to open to get nicer paper and I'm off writing!

Do you know if you're writing anyone for sure?

Well, I got it narrowed down to this:

Seniors

- Nastia

- Jana or Chellsie

Juniors

- Ashley P.

- Shantessa

- Bianca or Shayla or Cortni

I spent 2 hours riding around town to find stamps and stationary, so hopefully they respond. Plus I used some psychology and got color envelopes so it'll attract their eye and read it earlier. *Goes off to write letters* You know who your writing to for sure?

EDIT: Dang. I didn't realize how small my envelopes were, they really aren't sendable. *Sigh* Better go find some different ones. -_-

Poor Cody. I know that Chellsie is so busy she doesn't give hand written responses but of course the autographs and all that. But all the same, I'm sure she'd love a letter.

I think I might perhaps write to Nastia.

But I think I'm gonna write to:

Shayla (definately)

Ashley Priess (definately)

Monica or Kassi Price (senior)

Well, I got it narrowed down to this:

Juniors

- Ashley P.

- Shantessa

- Bianca or Shayla or Cortni

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I have written to all of those jrs and gotten replies from all of them! go for it!

I have letters in the mail to these gymnasts as we speak....

-Blair Ryland (didnt compete at nats, sr)

-Monica Shoji (jr)

-Kayla Hoffman (sr)

and I dont know when they decide the Pan Am team...I am guessing through a camp though! lol I know the men already decided their team but of course they dont make things complicated haha.

I think Tessa gets the award for best leos overall.

I liked the Cincinnati's girls' leos on Prelims, Shayla's purple leo is gorgeous (she wore it last year too I think), but yeah Tessa's were gorgeous.

What's going on here? What the craud did Nastia say?! *Gasp* lol.

no clue, but its a hilarious picture!!
