UCLA Snags Another

So the camp videos have been trickling in for awhile now and it seems they're finally done. At last we are given a glimpse of Gabby Douglas and she looked good. I have conflicting feelings about Gabby, I loved her at first and then was very turned off by her attitude. I still dislike the way she seems to be dissing Chow by worshiping her new gym. I'm glad that she's happy at Buckeye but give credit where it's due, you know? Would we have seen Gabby on top of that podium without Chow? Super doubtful.

Aly is also looking great and I can't wait to see her compete again! I see her in Italy for sure.
Kyla's video didn't show any of her upgrades yet (though I think there might have been one on beam that I missed). And she's committed to UCLA now, so there's also that. I was kind of hoping for her to go to Stanford but she probably wanted to be closer to home and everyone's been becoming a Bruin lately.
The new seniors look good too, namely Key of course. I so wish she was competing the American Cup.

Speaking of, I really want to live blog for it but I'm having surgery a few days before so I don't know if that will work out. Either way, I'll blog about it at some point. Simone's got it in the bag but it should still be nice to see some televised gymnastics for the first time in 5 months!
