LOVED it! She is so stinkin' cute! My 2 year old resembles her, and I can't help but think that every time I see her!

I didn't watch because NPR ruined it for me by mentioning her win during the day.

A girl I work with blurted out the win literally a minute after it happened. I was so irritated! That's why I haven't been going onto Yahoo or USAToday or any news sites during the day!

I did watch her compete and she did awesome, but it just wasn't the same knowing she was going to win. I really wish Aly could have gotten the bronze. All those thousandths of a point and they tie for third!

Thanks to Melissa for posting the link. Gabby is truly amazing. Watching her mom, brought tears to my eyes. Can you imagine how proud that mama is! And I'm sure mama has made many sacrifices for Gabby to get where she is. Kudos to mom!

I just saw it 3 minutes ago (probably a re-run? I've been travelling, and I'm watching it with foreign announcers, so I can't understand what they are saying.)

Gabby did a beautiful job! I'm sorry that the Alex (is that her name?) didn't make the bronze. But I'm thrilled that Phelps has 20 medals now. That was very exciting!!!

Yes! It was sooo neat watching all those girls and for some reason I had a feeling it was going to be that girl to win the gold. Now my li'l girls are trying to copy those gymnast moves, leotard and all, LOL. I normally don't watch the olympics but as I'm passing the channel I have to stop for the gymnastics, just amazing.

I didn't see it but my husband and son stayed at the gym last night after son's gymnastics class and watched it they said it was great. They invited the team members to stay after practice to watch it all together Tuesday and last night. My son wants to go to the Olympics some day.
