Hey Flip Fest campers and coaches. Everything is going great over hear in Beijing. The competition is under way and both the United States Teams made it to the team finals. The guys did awesome and only had one missed routine. The girls had a little rougher time but they still finished in second place and have a good chance at gold in team finals.
I have had some long nights and very little sleep but it has been fun too. I have had to stay up all night the last two nights while they did the voiceovers for the men’s and women’s competitions. I really don’t have much to do I just have to watch the meet just in case I have something to add. I usually don’t. But it’s still neat to see it all come together and every once in a while I have some input which is cool.
The opening ceremonies were exciting. I didn’t get to go, but I hung out at the Birds Nest right before they started and got some pics with the people that were in the show. Then I watched it on TV with some of the other NBC employees. I went to bed early, but was woken up by the final fireworks of the ceremony, which were literally rattling my hotel window.
Today I went to my first event other than gymnastics. Chris Korotky, from Inside Gymnastics Magazine, and Todd Thornton, former National Team Member, and I all went to swimming and saw Michael Phelps set a new Olympic record in the 200 meter Butterfly. It was pretty cool. Maybe the best part though was when some of the members of the men’s basketball team showed up to watch. Chris Paul, Carmello Anthony, Teshaun Prince were all there. When we were leaving we ran down and got a picture with Lebron James.
All the Olympic venues are pretty sweet. I haven’t really had a chance to get around to see the city much, I’ve mostly been hanging out in the Olympic Green where most of the events are taking place. The weather has been pretty cloudy and the smog is pretty bad. Its like we are living in a dome. I’m hoping it clears up soon and we can see some blue skies. My first appearance on the Oxygen Network will be before the men’s and women’s team finals. Don’t get too excited, it’s only for like one minute. It was fun though. I will also be on MSNBC before the men’s meet talking about the competition. If you guys want to read my updates on the competition, go to NBCOlympics.com and click on gymnastics and then blogs and you can read my take on the meet.
I miss you all at camp and hope everyone is having a great summer. I will have more updates and pictures to come soon.
