Tribute Tuesday ~ Gymnastics & Figure Skating

A quick tribute to the elegant, exciting, artsy Olympic sports - specifically, gymnastics and figure skating - my absolute favorites since I was a little girl!!

Here are five of my favorite Olympic moments... it's funny how vividly I remember watching these.  (And Oksana Baiul and Nancy Kerrigan and Shawn Johnson and so many others that I loved.)  And I'm pretty excited about this year's gymnastics team, even though I won't be joining them in London after all! :(

Shannon Miller - 1996 - queen of the "Magnificent Seven" - I wanted to BE her, and I've always been super impressed by those who ace the balance beam! :)


Also 1996, but I remember this like it was yesterday... LOVE IT.  And then watching Bella carry her out to protect her injured ankle - so great!  Go, Kerri, Go!


Dominique Moceanu was definitely my favorite that year - so spunky and fun!  I <3 gymnastics!!


Olympic Scandal!!  How fantastic is this pairs performance by Jamie Sale and David Pelletier?  (Originally awarded a silver medal by moronic judges, but they eventually got the gold they deserved.)


And finally, Miss Tara Lipinski... so little and cute and full of life - I just love her!!  And I adore how excited she is at the end of the skate. =)


OLYMPICS COMING SOON - GET EXCITED!!
