yes, that and the fact that she is almost a normal height compared to the rest of the gymnasts make her look a bit odd around them :lol:

i don't have cable tv so i only get one channel on which to watch the olympics and it's not even on all the time there :-(

i really wanted to watch badminton but looks like they won't be having it!

I always had an impression that Khorkina is at least 1.7 m tall...now that I know...she is about the same height as me... :eek:

she is way too thin for that height

That Carly Patterson girl won the women's gymnastic's gold yesterday. thats pretty cool, considering i live in the same town she is from. Hooray for allen, texas! Anyway...im getting a little wiped out about the olympics now...Track and Field isnt really my favorite.

yes but next week is synchronized swimming!!! woo-hoo!! :grin:

by **Rebecca Spinnet** » Saturday 21 August 2004 2:10:20am

i don't really care for running track & feild either but i do LOVE swimming. It helps that i swim too i think, it gives me more of an appreciation for how great all of the swimmers are even the ones that come in very last :grin:
