Indeed.

Now that ain't right!

Star, I was gonna cut her some slack, but I saw that wide, pretty smile flashed at a Chinese gymnast in the overall competition after the Chinese gymnast had screwed up. It looked wicked in that context. As soon as Shawn Johnson realized that the camera was on her, she coughed into her hands and looked more solemn. Shoot, any of us'd done the same, and I'm glad she won the U.S. some medals, but it made me realize that the smile was just as much a part of the training as the balance beam flips were.

Just remember that those poor children aren't receiving the enough nutrition to make their brains function properly.

I'd believe that about the Chinese moppetts, Star, but Shawn has definitely eaten her Wheaties.

Star said...

Fine. Steroids can make you act like a jerk too, you know. But I never heard that about Wheaties.

I don't think Shawn is on the juice. I actually think our athletes look pretty clean this Olympics. Compare the musculature of our current batch of sprinters to our a couple of Olympics of old (and to, say, the current Jamaican sprinters (the women look like horses)), and they look less laboratory concocted then in the past. Nah, I don't think Shawn is on steroids. I just think she's a mean highschool-aged girl (who happens to be a terrific athlete).
