Olympics 2006!

okay, so Canada lost to Russia 2-0 in the men's quarter final. Thats pathetic. Canadians are always boasting about thier hockey skills, and we don't even get a medal! At least we have the ladie's hockey gold medal to console us.

In woman's ice skating (the short program) Mira Leung did really well, broke 50 and her personal best. Her jumps (as always) were awsome and very well done. Her dance has improved alot along with her coereography. Now maybe this is club pride speaking, but I wpould have to say that her small amount of time at pheonix gymnastics helped a little bit with that. How do I know she went to pheonix gymnastics? she was in my group for a little while and was in my sister's group for a little while. She never wanted to do dance or any apperatuses, the only thing she realy wanted to do was tumble. She was awsome at tumbling to, at the little time she was with pheonix gymnastics, she learned how to do back tucks, front tucks, etc. and she was good at them. I would be lying if I said that her training as a slkater didn't help her, but it was an amazing feat in itself. While she was in my group I learned that she didn't really talk about ice skating much, I think she found it as a given, but we (my family and the group) learned of it by accident really.

It is really funny though that although Pheonix has had several people go on to be great, they never do it doing gymnastics. for example, Mira Leung with ice skating and Kristen Kiurk with acting.
