Hey everyone! Oh my goodness, last night on the Olympics was insane! So if you all don’t care a thing about gymnastics, and find this post horribly boring...sorry ^_^;;

Okay, last night was the men’s gymnastics all-around. The two best gymnasts from each country compete against each other to find the best male gymnastic in the world. From the start I was rooting for Paul Hamm. The guy’s been my favorite gymnast since I saw him at the last Olympics, four years ago. So I really, really wanted him to win. After the first rotation he was tied for first. I was happy! Then, the worst thing possible could happen...he fell on his landing. He score was so low he went from 1st to 12th place. I nearly started crying! I felt so miserable for him! Then, in an amazing turn of events the guy in first place fell also, and then many of the men in the top ranking were making multiple mistakes. After a fantastic performance on the parallel bars, he went up to fourth place! He might just have a chance to medal!! Then, it was Paul Hamm’s last time to perform. He was going to do the high bar. My mom and I were glued to the tube. Paul Hamm was incredible!!! My mom and I were both jumping up and down cheering. And then they showed his score, Paul Hamm had won the gold medal!!!! My mom and I went ballistic, we so thrilled! Paul Hamm had become the first American man to ever win the gymnastic all-around, I was so happy for him! Oh my, it was never so satisfying to hear the “Star-spangled Banner” play ^_^

Well, that was my excitement for the night! Oh, and I wanted to thank you guys for all the compliments on my site! I’m so glad you all like it ^_^ Hope you guys are having a great day! laters...
