Are You Ready to Dismount?


It is the Olympics! I am excited although I am a bigger winter Olympic fan, but in the off year, I will watch with glee the summer Olympics. I enjoy the diving, the swimming, and of course the gymnastics. I have been working on my dismount stand with arms in a V for Victory and eyes elevated towards the heavens. I have noticed that my arm flab is still moving when the rest of my body is still and I am not that keen to arch my back like the Olympic athletes.

I am amazed by the gymnast’s sense of balance and awareness. How do they not become totally disoriented? I have heard some say that they practice their routines so much it is just habit and not every move is even thought of individually any longer. That concept amazes me too. Pointed toes, erect posture, smiles while balancing, vaulting and being upside down is incredible!

This would not be my blog if I did not mention the hairstyles, make-up and fashion of the athletes in particular the women gymnasts.  Sometimes the women’s gymnasts look like a page from ‘Toddlers and Tiaras”. They are usually very, very young, so why not look like the kids they really are? Here are my recommendations:

Lose the glitter
Short hairstyle instead of pulled back in a tight ponytail
Try Bangs
Hair product that will slick your hair so no need for a zillion sleepies or bobby pins
No white leotards
Try Headbands
Lighten up on the eye shadow


Unlike other sporting events you really can’t trash talk Olympic athletes; they are all so fantastic that they just don’t warrant it. The heartfelt stories will make me cry and I will be cheering on my favorites.  I will work on perfecting my victory stand during the 2-week event, how about you?

I've always loved the Olympics, but this year is extra special. My daughter was born August 1 four years ago. I have wonderful memories of holding my new daughter while watching the summer Olympics.

PS Hate the glitter too.
