Amazed
I haved loved watching the Olympics. They are on 24 hours and I am watching everything I can. Last night I was watching the women's indivdual gymnastics competition. The lady who got the silver medal for vault was 33. Apparently that is old, as someone who will be 33 in November, it doesn't seem so old. Anyway, the announcers were amazed that a 33 year old was still able to vault. She was competing for Germany. She moved there because her native country, Russia, would not treat her sons leukemia. There were no beds and no treatment. So, she called the gymnastics coach in Germany for help for her son, as payment, she is competing on Germany's Olympic team.
