Badass Bitches


The Soviets OWNED Indy (minus that one night during AA finals that should would best be forgotten.) Bela Karolyi acted like the American Team's Silver Medal was Magnificent Seven status because no one could compete with the CCCP.

I live for everyone else struggling to get their full twisting yurchenkos around and stuck. Michelle Campi couldn't even lay her FTY out. The Russians went up and made the vault their bitch. On the old table no less. They would've been the best team on vault through the 2000 Olympics. You know they wouldn't be Phelpsing like the Romanians.

This is for all of the people who write to me on formspring thinking that Carly Patterson was the beginning of modern gymnastics. In the words of Catty Comments, "Oh Bitch, No!"
