Olympic Gymnastica
For right now, I’m in-love with US Olympic Gymnasts Justin Spring and Jonathan Horton especially when they separately finished a flawless landing on the High Bar category yesterday. My heart was seriously pounding while watching them with all their routines. USA finished with a Bronze-not bad! China, as expected, won the GOLD and Japan got the Silver respectively.

Twenty years ago, my mom enrolled me in Club Gymnastica. Gymnastics was the most enjoyable summer sport for me (Out of the many summer classes I had during my childhood years). I remember doing stunts on the balance beam, vault, uneven bars and trampoline. From stretchings to rollings to handstands to cartwheels to handsprings to double back-handsprings…flying and falling, boy, I would never forget those body-aching times. Thanks mom! Too bad, I’m not as flexible (body-wise) as I used to be.
