Today there was gymnastics women AA final! And... Nastia Liukin won!!!!!!!! I'm sooo happy, I really wanted her to win she's one of my favorite gymnasts right now, and finally the winner is an elegant, artistic gymnasts, she had a perfect competition! but the competition was amazing in general, I'm sooo happy with the results and with what the gymnasts did, I would have loved seeing a russian on the podium, I love russian gymnasts' style <3, they were fourth and seventh but they had such a great competition, and I also quite liked Shawn Johnson who won silver and I really liked Yang Yilin who had the bronze
Also the italians did a good job, Lia Parolari finished 14th but she did great, Vanessa Ferrari 11th with a few mistakes, but she was (and still is) injuried so it's a good result :)
In a few days there will be the events finals, I so hope our gymnasts will do good, I hope that gor Cassina will win again on the high bar like he did in Athens four years ago, I already know that when they will show his routine on tv I will not watch xD
Some pics from today's competiton
( Nastia Liukin is the new Olympic Champion!!!!!!! )I'm also loving the Olympics in general, I watch everything I can on tv, I'm so happy with the results and the medals of italian athletes, it's nice seeing italians winning in sports not well known, I love expecially watching volleyball, diving, swimming, athletics, I found that fencing is nice too, I never paid much attention to it before, but it's really a beautiful sport!
Well, enough of my olympic rant! Some icons about gymnastics at these olympics ;)
