Comedic Gymnastics? Hells Yeah!
Paul Hunt, a renown gymnast and women's coach, never took himself or his sport too seriously. He blended comedy with skill and his ever-present alter ego, Señora Pauletta, became a fan fave. Here she is, pretty in pink and pigtailed to boot, tackling the uneven bars.
Street Gymnast Is a Superfreak
I'm a freak magnet when I leave the house, but rarely are the freaks I attract as entertaining as this guy. Dressed in a lovely periwinkle leotard with a straggly blond wig on his head, this street gymnast slaps some chalk on his hands and does his thang on public transit, in the town square, and down stair railings. (You might want to keep your feet to yourself, though, buddy.)
More Sports Bloopers!
In this series of bloopers, you'll discover how gymnasts master the art of getting the ultimate wedgie and why referees have the most painful seat in the house. But my favorite blooper of the bunch is not a blooper at all, it's more like a cheerleading achievement. Have you ever seen a literal basket toss?
Dumbass Of The Day
I couldn't decide whether to make this dude an Eligible Bachelor Du Jour (as he's clearly had way too much self-discovery "alone" time on his hands) or the Dumbass Of The Day. I then realized that I couldn't throw him in the pool of eligible bachelors vying for your affection because with talent of this calibur, he's already got a leg up on the competition-- and that wouldn't be fair now would it?

What's Next For Gymnasts Liukin and Johnson
Women's gymnastics really seems like a sport for girls. While there were some older competitors, like Alicia Sacramone of the US and China's Cheng Fei who are both 20, it seems a sport loaded with youngsters. So what happens to these women, or girls, after competing at the top?
Women's Gymnastics: Silver and Gold!
Last night seemed like a redemption match, gymnastics styles. The top three were all amazing, but Nastia Liukin was the best in the all-around competition. She gracefully stepped out from behind Shawn Johnson's athletic shadow and was lovely on the beam as well as the other three elements: uneven bars, floor, and vault.
US Gymnastics Blames Stadium Officials For Silver Meltdown
The US women's gymnastics team pointed to stadium officials when explaining their disappointing silver medal finish in the team competition. US coach Marta Karolyi blamed the Beijing stadium officials for disrupting Alicia Sacramone's preparation for the beam. Karoyli said: "First they called her name up, then they did not even put her name up even though the Chinese had finished .
Do You Think the Chinese Gymnasts Are All Over 16 Years of Age?
In a close competition, every detail falls under scrutiny.
The US women's gymnastic team, older and wiser than the gold-winning Chinese team, performed well minus a couple of falls and landed in second place. The 20-year-old team captain Alicia Sacramone, who unfortunately fell during both her floor routine as well as her balance beam exercise, tried to keep a positive attitude about winning silver as did her teammate Nastia Liukin.
Five Things About Gymnast Shawn Johnson
In case you missed it, the Olympic games open this Friday, and I am awfully excited to watch. Gymnastics tops my list of events to see, and Shawn Johnson is the gymnast to watch.
