He isn't as thin obsessed as one might think. He has been pretty real about how it negatively affects Johnny's skating when he gets too thin and loses strength and power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-53659668914673932212012-05-21T21:14:27.102-07:002012-05-21T21:14:27.102-07:00Gabby has ripped muscles and is doing hindorffs, t...Gabby has ripped muscles and is doing hindorffs, tumbling like a champ, doing amanars, great leaps,etc. she is certainly fit, quick and agile in a way reminiscent of Dominique Dawes. Just because she doesn't have the biggest bicep is not a lack of fitness. Other girls are quite incredibly fit as well. Gabby's quick twitch muscle really stands out. You don't see me talking about Komova'w fitness because she is a waif.

I mean, he holds up Gabby Douglas as the "fittest" members of the current Team USA hopefuls when it is clear she is an underweight twig who looks the way she does because she hasn't gone through puberty yet, unlike some of the other girls who he attacks for - gasp! - having the nerve to develop breasts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-42114239075803809552012-05-21T12:44:02.723-07:002012-05-21T12:44:02.723-07:00Whenever Nastia does anything for the media, I lab...Whenever Nastia does anything for the media, I label it mediawhore on the side. I'm not attacking Shawn for being fat in Beijing, I'm just saying she did is not someone many of us would ever consider to be underweight by gymnastics standards. <br /><br />I realize gymnastics is their source of income. I realize Shawn did come back. What is becoming ridiculous is that Shawn is skipping Nationals due to her book coming out and is saying everything possible about body image, weight, losing in Beijing NOW to keep her name in the press when she won't be competing, yet is pretending to be. <br /><br />I was VERY harsh on Nastia in 2009 and 2010.OlympicEffecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708554152461551887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-83044717619626776852012-05-21T12:32:54.605-07:002012-05-21T12:32:54.605-07:00Attacking a then 16-year-old girl for her weight? ...Attacking a then 16-year-old girl for her weight? That's low, even for you. I also laugh my ass off because you consistently refer to Shawn as a mediawhore but your gigantic Nastia boner ignores the fact that while Shawn was training and competing last year, all Nastia did was tease the world about her "will she or won't she?" comeback. I don't care for either of these athletes and frankly, don't want either on the London team unless they can actually offer something besides talk. But of course Shawn is a mediawhore and of course Nastia is one because gymnastics is a business for them. How are you reporting about the sport yet NOT acknowledge this? Since 2008 gymnastics has been not just a sport but their source of income and all endorsement deals and media appearances are of course about money. It's actually laughable that you don't realize this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
