Bridget did really well.

New Olympic Team Member.

“All of our alternates have been working hard and are ready to support the men’s team, if called upon. The Men’s Selection Committee has named Raj to the team based on the evaluation of various team scenarios,” said Dennis McIntyre, director for men’s program at USA Gymnastics. “Given the current team make-up, we believe Raj is best suited to help the U.S. men’s team in its pursuit of a team medal.”

“This is a tremendous honor and the first feeling that comes to mind is that dreams can come true,” said Bhavsar, 27, who was an alternate on the 2004 Olympic Team. “You never know when it will happen, but with enough positive intention and belief, it can. I am ready, willing and able to take on this great opportunity. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of a great athlete, Paul Hamm. My heart goes out to him. He did an admirable thing, and he will always be a hero in my eyes. I also want to recognize the other two alternates, who are an important part of the soul and spirit of this team.”

I'm really happy it's Raj. He should have been on the team anyway. Maybe destiny is at work. Congrats Raj!

Paul Hamm Out of Olympics

Oh No! This is horrible! I hope that maybe the team can still medal.

“I have put my heart and soul into my comeback and done everything I could to get ready in time to compete in Beijing,” said Hamm, who won the all-around title at the 2004 Olympic Games and is recovering from a broken hand. “After returning home from the preparation camp, I had a few physical setbacks, and it became clear to me that my physical preparations would not be sufficient to properly represent the United States and contribute to the team’s efforts to win a medal. I recently strained my rotator cuff and have been unable to perform all of my skills. I am very grateful to have been given the opportunity to make a comeback. At this point in time, the success of the team and fairness to the team, and the alternates, is most important. While I am very disappointed, I feel I can wait no longer to make this decision.”

I feel for him, I can only imagine his disappointment.

Simona Amanar in Playboy?

I can't believe it!

She appeared nude in the December 2005 issue of Playboy Magazine. The January 2006 issue contained no less than three editorials complaining that Playboy has no business publishing pictures of women with stronger leg muscles than the majority of its constituent subscribers.

This is an old interview. Shayla just was so optimistic, I still feel so bad for her.

Shayla Worley met the press with a smile this morning at a post-meet media opportunity after declining to chat prior to, and during, the Trials competition, something Worley wasn’t aware was a big deal.

“After the meet, my main priority is getting back in the training room and doing my therapy, which takes a while,” she explained. “By the time that was done I’m always the last one on the bus anyway. So, it was just solely because I had to get my priorities straight.

Worley, 17, was also shocked to hear that several readers wrote in after watching the TV coverage to ask Inside about her appearance, saying she looked like she was in pain and/or tired.

“They think I look tired?” a laughing Worley asked. “Great! Talk about kicking me when I’m down. That makes me feel bad. I was made up on TV, too. I look tired? That’s like when someone asked me if it hurt when I fell off the bar and landed on my stomach.

“Really, I feel no pain,” she added. “When you’re competing on that level, and you’re in that zone, I don’t feel anything, really. … And I’m not tired, geez!”
