Jordyn Wieber, 2009 SCAM Champion
Just watching the American Cup coverage, and decided to check in. This blog is officially (and unfortunately) on hiatus until I have defended my dissertation proposal and taken the MCAT … however, I have decided that I definitely will be back (with a bit of restructuring).
In fact, if you have any suggestions, please post them here.
ETA: May 3rd, 2009.
In the meantime, 100% heartfelt congratulations to Jordyn Wieber. We have not seen someone with this level of ability at such a young age in a very long time. I am pretty sure this makes her the youngest American Cup winner ever. This makes her the youngest winner since Tracee Talavera in 1980.
While I’m at it, I should say that I was a bit disappointed by Youna Dufournet’s performance, but happy to see Amelia Racea holding her own (relatively speaking).
