Mrs lookout and i have been watching gymnastics because my wife was a gymnast until college when real life and the breastessessess took over. she still loves it even though her knees, ankles, and wrists are shot at 33.
we were talking about the age thing last night and the way i see it is that a "generation" of american female gymnasts missed their shot at the olympics.

the girls from the '96 games were so popular that they brought a number of them back for 2000. the girls competing this time around were too young for 2000 - so where did all the girls of the "right age" from 2000 go? but anyway - in 2000 there were a number of the top girls who were 19-24, not from just america either. i think the one russian (or ukranian, whatever) svetlana ob..... was 23-24 and she just rocked. but for 2004 they've got all the pre-pubescents back. bummer.
