More than a few OTW team girls have been glued to their TVs watching the Beijing Olympics. Sunday night, especially, was a big night for young gymnasts -- the Women's Qualifying round. In part, they qualify as a team for one of the eight slots in the team competition. Their individual scores determined who would go on to compete on the individual events (two per country). At least I think that's how they said it worked.The Italians, Japanese and British teams (also in Sub#2) were generally scoring in the 14s. The Chinese women in Sub#1 were looking a little thin on artistry, but had strong scores. It was a tough night for Team USA. Watching Alicia Sacramone and Bridget Sloan step out on Floor was tough. Watching the falls and slips on Bars was even tougher. But, seeing Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin's Floor and Beam routines was impressive.
