Most impressive woman gymnast for me this London Olympics is Viktoria Komova from Russia.  Especially her floor exercise in all-round was perfect ! Sooooooooo artistic and magically beautiful !!!!!  And the technical part was excellent, too.  Landed all the jumps perfectly and spins as well.  We already watched it many times last night. I’m so happy to find my new favorite gymnast because I haven’t been super impressed like this since long time ,since 1980’s Moscow Olympics.   Viktoria’s movements are naturally beautifully artistic and each part flows and connects smoothly to her next movement .   I think she really has natural artistic talent of movements which are really well-balanced.   I really love to see beautiful performance, so her floor exercise was a huge hit for me.  Ray noticed that Viktoria’s music was mixture of different music including Queen’s song “ the show must goes on “...

London Olympics game is just around the corner !  Watching Olympics game is one of our favorite things every 4 years, both Summer and Winter. It’s so exciting !  Because I think it’s a great motivation for our life to be inspired by world top athletes who have been working hard to do what they love and dream and challenge to be the world number one athletes. I love living with passion to get to our goals, no matter the result.  Another reason is we both love to see personalities through their performances.  Every Olympics, we can find a few inspiring athletes who have their original style, have strong charisma.  We are more interested to see their personality than who will win.  For summer Olympics, both of our favorite Olympics sports are gymnastics , and track & field.   Until 2004 Olympics, I didn’t realized that we can find someone who has interesting personality and originality in track & field, because unlike gymnasti...

Vault Result -  1. Hong Un Jong (PRK) 2. Oksana Chusovitina (GER) 3. Cheng Fei (CHN) 4. Alicia Sacramone (USA) 5. Ariella Kaslin ( SUI ) 6. Carlotta Giovannini (ITA) 7. Jade Barbosa ( BRA) 8. Anna Pavlova (RUS) Hmm.. I felt sympathy for Alicia could not make medal for this because I thought she did better than Cheng Fei. Cheng Fei did good job in her first vault but in the second vault, she fell. And Alicia didn’t make a big mistake for both of them. It was hurt to see Alicia tears and disappointed. I would give Alicia over Cheng Fei for this. Also I felt bad for Anna Pavlova (RUS). The broadcast didn’t show her performances , and just showed only the scores and the scene Anna was talking with her coach with disappointed face. Seems like she started before the green light which showed ready sign was up and got a big deduction for it. And as a result she had disqualified for the second vault due to a false start. But it was great to see the 33 years old lady who i...
