Wwll the Olympic Trials have started for men and start for women Friday.

None of the women's is on tv until Saturday night and then there is apparently more on Sunday.

There are trials for diving and maybe other sports this weekend also. NBC has like 10 or so hours of Olympic Trials of various sports this weekend.

I forgot to tell Lynne to take pics of Shayla. Ahhhhh. lol

At least I assume Lynne went as she planned to.

yeahhhh i'm here

the men's is actually tonight so im pretty sure they'll be on tv tonight?

who knowssss.

but ill take pictures of her

Cool. By the way if you read this today, let me know is the finals for women today or tomorrow?

Because here's what it says for the tv descriptions... It's on tonight and says it's delayed. Then for tomorrow it says it's "live" and it's on at night tomorrow also.

So I'm not sure if maybe they are showing yesterday's tonight and the finals tomorrow or maybe they aren't showing yesterday's at all and today's is finals and tomorrow's is event finals maybe?

Or do they even "have" event finals for olympic trials? I actually doubt it. lol

women's finals are tomorrow night.

mens was tonight they already decided on two for the team.

andd we went out to eat after the thing tonight. and chelsie davis was sitting at the table next to us.

and then we were about to leave and terin humphrey, kourtney kupets, hollie vise, blaine wilson all came in.

oh my goshhh it was amazing.

That's so cool. Especially Hollie since of course she is one of ym favorites ever.

I don't know if you remember, but arch was like obsessed with courtney kupets. haha.

I actually watched some of this last night. I watched Shawn Johnson do her floor routine. She was awesome. Then there was some sucky hot 17 or 18 yr old. I also saw some little asian kid who was ok.

I'm about to watch that now because I wasn't awake during most of it last night.

I like shawn somewhat. If you notice in the gallery section on this site Megan posted pics of Shawn and some others who are in this back when she first joined this site years ago and they were not senior gymnasts yet.

By the way Lynne, do you know for sure if they announce the team after tonight? I "think" they do because they had said that this year the camp will not be what determines the team. So I am assuming they want to know before the camp who will be on the team where they can be better prepared for the Olympics. But that may still mean they wait a few days befoe announcing. Or they may announce tonight, who knows.

edit: actually she only posted 1 pic of Shawn in the album: http://www.gottalk.com/index.php?autocom=g...um&album=11

Nevermind. I saw they announce 2 today because the top 2 automatically are selected.

Here are my opinions:

1. It sucks that Shayla took out her opening part of her beam routine and did not do her floor routine. I messaged her on myspace a few weeks ago mentioning that I figured her injury was a back injury because she is so much like Hollie and that Hollie had to take out her flexibility moves and that I hoped Shayla wouldn't. Well sure enough I was right... she took out all of those flexibility moves and didn't even DO floor which is the one event I love of Shayla's. THIS MAY be a good decision, but Hollie didn't even make the Olympic Team when she did these same decisions with her back injury. Sadly I think Shayla won't make the team unless she either shows more today or does mighty well at the camp! She happened to have this injury at a terrible time just as Hollie did.

2. Nastia is overscored so often. I used to not like her at all because she reminds me of Svetlana Khorkina, who I can't stand. But now I do like her. But it's just the flat truth that when she makes mistakes they don't take off as much as they should. This is not the first time it's happened. I know of at least three meets where the announcers were shocked at how high a score was after she had huge steps on landings or other fairly big mistakes.

3. I actually used to like ONLY Shayla from this group, but now I like a ton. I like shayla, jana, sam, chelssie, nastia, shawn, and I think one more I am forgetting.

4. Chelssie looked very very VERY comfortable, wheras Shawn looked extremely nervous. The older girls look much more relaxed and like they're having fun than the younger ones.

Well Shawn won once again.

Really sucked that Shayla barely did any routinees and fell on bars. At least she was invited to the camp though but she would have to get healed from her back injury mighty quickly.

I like Chelssie more than any other gymnast now I think. I have liked her for a while, but even more now because she seemed so relaxed and confident and just great all around.

And by the way I have no clue why they kept saying Alicia Sacramone should be selected immediately... She didn't even finish remotely close to the top and they acted like she was doing better than practically everyone.

I noticed Chelsea Davis is only 4'6. lol Also I thought Shayla was 16 for some reaosn, but she is only 15 actually.

I just realized... Alicia didn't do bars, did she? SO no wonder she wasn't near the top in standings. lol

I still don't personally like her as one of the top 6 though.

If I picked six I would currently pick: shawn, nastia, chelssie, sam, jana, and shayla. Of course Shayla would have to be healthy.
