[quote]the reviews weren't good on it, but ya, i'm excited too! it'll be interesting with Carly singing and also the gymnastics/ice skating show part too![/quote] kind of like the movie "Stick It"

it was awesome! michael weiss did a back flip full on the ice! dominique moceanu did a full floor routine, she has a front flip full roundoff in it that looks cool! do u think they 'tv-d' carly patterson's singing? kind of like for jessica and ashlee simpson with the lip-synching...same manager. well, they wouldn't let carly sound bad when they can fix it on tv. anyways, it was good. the acrobatics was really cool!! :D

weiss's back flip full on the ice was awesome! his dad taught scott hamilton (famous ice skater in case u don't know!) how to do the back flip on ice too! his dad was an olympic gymnast, his mom natinal gym champ! morgan and paul hamm also did really good standing back fulls. carly did sound a lot better on this show than on that singing show celebrity duets! ...maybe it is the magic of tv...lol...or maybe she did get better, or a combo of both!

the acrobatic pair was really cool! it was like the girl was flying, esp. on her triple back from standing on the guy's hands! it was actually really similar to the figure skating pair that was skating at the same time too, the guys r a lot bigger than the girls and they throw the girls up and catch them! i wonder how much tumbling/gymnastics the guy in the acrobatic team knows. he did do an aerial though. very good throwing/catching/spotting technique!

The boys practice it during open gym tho! Shannon Miller was wearing tights to her ankles during her floor routine, did u guys notice? Maybe she got used to it from the time she was doing figure skating! The girls in dance do that a lot too.

The show was awesome! And yeah, I noticed Shannon Miller's tights too.

It was great that some of the gymnasts did the hard high bar releases and a couple hard dismounts in the show too.
