The SEC (southeastern championships) LSU vs. Georgia was on tv today on ESPN2. It was awesome to watch. Some cool things: One of the girls did the moonwalk on the beam, to a Michael Jackson song I think - it went with the music. Ya, music on beam, with words, lol. That's college gymnastics. :D One of the Georgia girls did like a break dance move kind of thing - backhandspring without hands and kind ofl ike with her head! :D Like some of the dancers do on that show 'So you think you can dance'. Courtney Kupets looks awesome!! Totally shows that she was thinking of coming back to Elite gymnastics to the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

One of the things that helps Georgia's program is that the coach lets them pick their own routine - when you like your routine and get to pick it, you can 'sell' it better.
