Madame Jo Jo is simply amazing

American World Champion Jordyn Wieber shows her class on beam
Don't you just love Jordyn Wieber?  She's my favourite gymnast, apart from all the others, and she's the World Champion, and she's the one I've named my blog after. 

Granpa and I were watching TV and there was gymnastics and he said to me 'who is that little girl a-jumping and a-bouncing around on that there floor?'  'That's our Jo' I replied.  'What you say', Granpa replied (he is partly deaf).  'Jo!' I exclaimed, then again I repeated again 'Jo!'.   'Jo Jo!' said Granpa 'that little Jo Jo, she's jumping up and down so high it's like she's on some kinda amazing tramp'line.' 

I guess that with such good skills she'll be strong and solid at the Olympics.  I have been reading some gymnastics books, and I think what she is showing above is 'body alignment'.  She is such an amazing champion, it makes me proud to be an American.
