Let The Games Begin!

The flame has been lit (mulitple times!)
There were moments of chills for me. Watching the kids pass the torch until it reached the flame was certainly the highlight. It was also great to see the team gym kids and the coaches perform. It was a glimpse into what all of the school age classes will be doing in August. Right now I think the coaches are more excited than the kids. I know of two that have fully choreographed routines ready to go!
All of the school age gymnasts will perform a group routine in August at the gold medal awards ceremony. They will also be performing on vault, mini tramp, beam and bars.
The preschoolers, TumbleBunny's, will be performing on their own circuits of equipment and also, they will do a red, white and blue ribbon routine on the big blue floor.
It's going to be an exciting summer! Things always heat up in our sport when it's an Olympic year. We can't wait to see the men and women compete in Beijing!
Pictures of the opening ceremonies are coming....
