Hey all!

Well, although I would love to see Kerri compete in college, I also think
that she has a great opportunity to make tons of money and be set for
awhile. She has suddenly become America's sweetheart and is very, very
marketable. There is alot to be said for financial security, and if Kerri
plays her cards right, she should be very secure. If all she wants is a
college education, she can get that will all the money she makes from
endorsements, but if she wants the experience of competing in college, then
she should stay strong and not let the money persuade her. Yikes, what a
hard decision!

We had a major storm and the power was out for most of women's AA. I
know that Dom D. and Shannon both made mistakes but could someone fill me
in on what they were?

I am glad that Pods won. I love the artistry that she brings with her.
(I am an ex-ballet dancer.) I think it would be a great improvement to
the sport if more gymnasts would follow in her footsteps i.e. less posing
more dancing.

Also, I have NBC's women's team optionals and hope to have event finals (with
more luck than tonight). If anybody from Canada or the border would like
to trade my tape for a tape filled with French Canadian TV I would be
more than willing. I don't feel comfortable making copies but would
sacrifice my tape so that my students could have a larger variety of
shows to see.

Thanks,
Heather

re: Marinescu pulled from AA

What I want to know if what 'bad habits' she picked up in Bucharest!?!

Joy I totally agree with you. She had the scores to qualify she deserved
to go on to the competition. Amanar did great, she was terrific on her
second vault espcailly.

I'm happy to see them all take medals. -- Lisa
