I really don't think the US will mop the floor with everyone like most people think - first off it's only March ... there will be a rash of completely shocking injuries before August. After every camp there's another one (although of course it's just a tragic coincidence). Secondly, they didn't even really clean up a whole lot in Worlds, which were on US soil (where they typically do better than overseas). Team and Bars golds - really they were capable of more.

Do you really like the Australian team more than the American one? Granted Russo is wonderous, and I will always love Skinner and Slater is ok (though she always makes me nervous) - but if the American team included at least McCool, Humphrey, and Schwikert I must admit I'd root for them.

I could live with this!

>BB: Fan Ye yes!
>UB: Khorkina I have a feeling she'll get her AA gold or bars, but not both - and you know which one she'd rather have!
>V: who cares lol I agree
