yesterday, every spare minute I could find was spent transfixed in front of the tv watching the Gymnastics Visa Championships. and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed! this action filled event was not without it's surprises. one of my favorite gymnast {Bridget Sloan} was out of the all-around competition with a pectoral injury, but she still managed to fight her way through a beam performance {pictured below}:Alica Sacramone {pictured below} was also a top competitor for her power event, vault, and beam. she came back fro ma 2 year absence with all the power that she needed and more self confidence than ever.
the night ultimately belonged to Rebecca Bross, with Mattie Larson and Alexandra Raisman following in second and third. she not only won the all-around competitions, but bars, beam, and came in second for floor. she is the new girl to beat.I can't wait to hear which girls made it on the US team that will be traveling to the Netherlands in October. the count down begins....
