I was told that when I was little, I would mimic all the stuff the did in the gymnastics.
Hard to believ enow I can do about half the stuff they do on floor.....never tried bars or beam though. The uneven bars seem like so much fun.
But of course....you prolly just like it cus they only wear leotards XD

Organizers of the Beijing Olympics unveiled the costumes for medal ceremony hostesses on Thursday.

A total of five series of costumes will be worn by hostesses at the 302 medal ceremonies of the Aug. 8-24 Games, with each series being designed for certain sports events.

Each series of the costumes feature three styles of suits - each for tray holders, medal presenter escorts and athlete escorts.

The designs were picked from 305 entries submitted by local designers, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympics (BOCOG) said.
