I'm just getting a kick out of the live streams and touching base with some things that don't get total coverage. Trampoline is my new favorite.. diggin' some badminton...in short doses.. of course loving the water polo (montenegro woof) and synchro diving... bear watching at the shot put today.. some rowing can be fun.... And last night did I really see a girl do a back tuck with full twist on the balance beam? I remember as if it were yesterday when Olga Korbut did the first back tuck ... Bodies are amazing things....

I remember that as well, or maybe it was her uneven bar flip. The commentator said, "Oh my. . . Wow! That's never been done by any human before!" Googling that just now I learned Olga is alive and well and living in Scottsdale.
