Khorkina definitely sticks out against all the others.
Her big feet and face shape remind me of a duck.

John has hit the nail on the head.

Knorkina looks like a duck......preferably either darkwing duck or count duckula...her mouth sticks out.
Good shout.

Her russian teammate is nicer...even though she isnt "amazing"

Hey! If Meretrix and I can't talk about the men,
YOU can't talk about the women!

i don't get it...

for me personally, khorkina is gracefullness personified.



just look at her hands...

I'm sure i seen this feisty little character pretending to be khorkina the other day on the gymnastics mat.....



Or was it the other way round ??

Correction: she looks EXACTLY like an emu. My family and I agreed on that last night.

For the record, Khorkina freaks me out because she's scarily long and thin and severe looking. And she uses way too much chalk!

Haha you want too much chalk, just come to a state meet (haha).

Paul Hamm won the all-around in an insane comeback. Damn Brett Mcclure for SUCKING so bad on rings.
Khorkina has been slowly wasting away to nothing. In 5 years her skin will be forming AROUND her bones. Now let's see if Carly can get her shit together and win the womens all around.

GREAT year for USA gymnastics.

That was crazy how Hamm came back - I felt sorry for the Korean guy, but then again, this IS the olympics after all!

Go Kitajima winning the double!!

No, Damn Kitajima for his fucking illegal dolphin kick.

Hey A cuban named Cumba won seliver the the shop-put

That was crazy how Hamm came back.

Yes, now he LOST his invidual gymnastic event after falling to the judges table and dropped from 1st place to 12 place.

That just sucks dosent it?

I don't get what you're talking about...he came back and won the gold. The Team FINAL and All Around FINAL have no effect on the rankings for the individual event FINALS...that's determined at the Team Qualifying. And besides, he wasn't even ranked for the vault anyway...haha.

Was that the black woman/beast? She scared me a little. All the women shotputters did.

Yeah no kidding, that Russian woman was slightly hideous. I just can't really stand their yelling, it freaks me out even more. And how about the American winning but stepping out of the circle, what a dissapointment for that dude.

Wow. Carly Patterson just won the Women's Gymnastics All Around. Talk about USA dominance...and to think that in 2000 we didn't even medal...and to now have both teams bringing home silver and both all around champions...it's insane. The Emu got second.

Darnit, I meant to watch that...

It's really too bad to find out all of the results before they're aired.
There aren't any American channels with live coverage of everything, are there?
NBC has some live coverage, but most of the major stuff is recorded.

Did anyone watch the final of the Badmitton, what a match. I would of liked to see GB win but it was a good match and the best team did win.

I wouldn't mind having that on my shoulder...
