Ladies Gymnastics

One could have predicted the out, given the first rounds of the competition. The Chinese were more prepared for this grueling competition, although you could tell this from their physiques. Their frail bodies hardly look the qualifying age and although I thought the American, Shawn Johnson had herself looked under 16, I thought she had a body that was superbly crafted, but I feel a bias, I always had a soft eye for her name

 

Ladies Gymnastics

Lifted to the uneven bars

And flying high becoming stars

Dancing technical routines on the floor

Incredible balance beam skills leaving us wanting more

Each Olympics leaves me in similar disbelief

So much enjoyment yet so much grief

Gymnasts demonstrating envious admiration

Young ladies representing healthy competition

Many would like to win but see the skill

Nations from afar produce and will

Applaud the efforts of their enemy

Showing the wisdom of great maturity

Though the countries fight for reasons unsure

In the Olympics they fight for a whole lot more

Competitors for the rights to receive a medal of gold

Share glory with each other, baring mind, body and soul
