The Fierce Five is Golden!!
8.01.2012
What am I loving on Wednesday? Duh. Gymnastics. They women won Gold in the team competition for the first time since 1996. There was the Magnificent Seven and now there is the Fab Five. And fabulous they were. They beat Russia by 5 points. They nailed everything. It was just such a beautiful sight to see. Aly started crying right in the middle of her last split jump before she even finished her routine. They joined hands and all eyes were glued on that scoreboard waiting for the final results to flash. The Russians cried tears of defeat, the Americans cried tears of joy and I cried too. If Mj hadn't
been sitting beside me I probably would have been bawling but I held it back. It was good to see Jordan smiling and so happy after being so devastated two days ago. And who would have ever thought Gabby Douglas would be the only Team USA gymnast to do All Around? I never thought I'd see her in a team final on beam but it looks like things have clicked and she's got it. What tough and talented group of girls. How awesome must it be to be them right now. Fab Five or Fierce Five. They're amazing no matter what you call them.
I'm also loving that Mj sat right there and watched the whole thing with me. With all the jumping around NBC does with Olympic coverage it was hours. He asked me questions about what was going on. He was interested and it was pretty cool. I had to totally unplug the day of competition because between the time difference in London and the East Coast West Coast time difference I can't risk being a spoiler alert victim. I really like the suspense of watching the competition without knowing the results. So there was little internet and no Facebook yesterday. And it'll be the same on Thursday for All Around finals. I could DVR and watch it the next day but I can't wait! I'm so tired today but staying up was worth it. I get a whole week of watching the best gymnasts in the world compete. I'm on Gymnastics overload and I love it.

I LOVE watching gymnastics and I was overjoyed that they took home the gold. You can tell those girls worked hard and it paid off.
ReplyDeletethis was definitely exciting...im so happy for the Fierce Five!! i read an article in the times about the sacrifice Gabby made four years ago in her training and i was completely moved and inspired that at such a young age, she has so much dedication to her craft...it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey have all sacrificed so much and it has really paid off for them. They will go down in gymnastics history as one of the best teams ever.
