Little Miss Sunshine

Although I prefer the grace of Beijing Olympics all- around champion Nastia Liukin’s than runner- up Shawn Johnson’s powerful routines in gymnastics, I love the perkiness and happy disposition of the latter in and out of the floor.



And was I glad that she finally won a gold medal on the balance beam on the last day of competition after coming very close in three previous tries in other elements. She had shown great composure against the odds and gave due respect to her co- competitors and maintained a winsome smile all throughout even if the results did not go her way though no fault of her won.



In the end, nobody deserves the gold medal more than this cute little gymnast from West Des Moines, Iowa.
