1st day back

Today will be my first day back at gym for a week and a half. I had the flu all of last week so I didn't go to gym at all and then I was still feeling sick this week and had lots of homework so I didn't go. I am not looking forward to going today. It is going to be rough. I have been missing a lot of gym lately for being sick and then having lots of homework. I am looking forward to getting back into working out on a daily bases again. It should be good.

Jonathan Horton: 2nd place high bar at Olympics. 1st all-around 2006 and 2007 Tyson American Cup. 1st place all around 2009 and 2010 visa cup championships. 4th place world championships in 2007. Won six NCAA individual titles.
Paul Hamm: 1st all-around 2008 Pacific Rim Championships. 1st all-around 2008 Tyson. 1st all around 2004 Pacific Alliance Championships.
Then the big one is the 2004 Olympics 1st place gold medal.

Correlation between the two? I think yes. I think out of all of the big national team member gymnasts right now that Jonathan Horton has the greatest chance to win a gold medal at the up coming Olympics. Now many skeptics would say that if you look at China, Japan, or any other powerhouse teams that we don't have a chance. But that's what people said about the 2004 Olympics. That we didn't have a chance. And yet Paul Hamm won 1st place. I believe Jonathan Horton could follow in the footsteps of Paul Hamm in these next Olympics and prove all the skeptics wrong.

First Blog Post

I created this blog because gymnastics is a large part of my life and a main interest of mine. I have been doing it for 12 years and enjoy it a lot. Right now I am a first year level 9 gymnast. My goal for gymnastics is to become a level 10 gymnast and go to Nationals. Nationals would be amazing to go to and compete at since only the top level 9's and 10's are able to compete there. Overall I created this blog for expression of my own gymnastic career and also to talk about new, intriguing, and cool events that are happening in the sport of gymnastics.
