China was also expected to dominate- or at least do very well in Rotterdam.  http://couch-gymnast.blogspot.com/2010/11/asian-gamesgame-changes.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Couch Gymnast)7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52030276889732850.post-2635458949128344630Wed, 10 Nov 2010 10:52:00 +00002010-11-10T05:06:22.222-08:00 Someone on Facebook (sorry I can't remember who exactly, but even if I did, I don't know if you want to be named, but thank you- you know who you are!!!) linked to this little baby Romanian gymnast.  Yes, there is no denying it, she has total shades of Porgras circa 2009 Worlds.  Excepty willowy little Paula is also like a new-born foal- all rickety graceful limbs that she doesn't quite know http://couch-gymnast.blogspot.com/2010/11/something-different.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Couch Gymnast)10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52030276889732850.post-962657547904924481Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:57:00 +00002010-11-08T17:57:16.890-08:00 Angelina Kislaya (http://www.angelinakislaya.com) I just received an update on Angelina Kislaya, the Ukrainian gymnast who was injured during the first day of podium training at the World Championships.  Angelina has torn a ligament in her knee and this injury could take 9 months to a year to fully heal.  The all-around silver medallist from the 2010 Nadia Comanecu Invitational is resting at http://couch-gymnast.blogspot.com/2010/11/angelina-kislaya-injury-update.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Couch Gymnast)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52030276889732850.post-6882647676730493316Mon, 08 Nov 2010 22:36:00 +00002010-11-08T14:36:34.733-08:00 Marlies Rijken by Sandra Janssen It was definitely nice to see Dutch gymnast Marlies Rijken have such success at the Ojisek World Cup competition.  Marlies is a long gymnast, which gives her gorgeous lines on her best event, bars.  Funnily, she only won bronze there, taking gold on floor (13.250)  and beam (14.050), where she is also wonderful to watch.

Well, never fear, it's not over by a long shot!  You think it is all going to end with Worlds, but do not despair, there are actually quite a lot of good competitions coming up in the gym world.

Williams attempts an interpretation of China's behaviors and reactions to their mixed success in Rotterdam, largely through a lens of cultural determinism.  In doing so, Williams asks many inhttp://couch-gymnast.blogspot.com/2010/11/controversial-china-article.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Couch Gymnast)3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52030276889732850.post-3281912392002033429Sun, 31 Oct 2010 22:24:00 +00002010-10-31T15:24:55.083-07:00 Prosport asked Octavian Belu his thoughts on the Romanian results in Rotterdam.  He told them he believed they should not be considered in of themselves, but rather as hope for the future.  He, of course, is looking toward Tokyo next year and getting the girls ready for more difficulty and harder work.  He also admitted that he was not just in the stands during the World Championships.  This, http://couch-gymnast.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-want-olympic-gold.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (The Couch Gymnast)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52030276889732850.post-7503586373066775333Sun, 31 Oct 2010 22:14:00 +00002010-10-31T15:14:31.729-07:00 As you all probably all know by now, the Swiss Cup was on this weekend.  The Swiss Cup has a strange format where two representatives, male and female, from each country compete together. It is like the Hopman Cup of gymnastics. In each round they comepte in one event each.
