Aly On the Floor


Jean Valjean

:kaukau: Congratulations to Aly Raisman for winning gold on the floor. She also won bronze on the balance beam thanks to a wonderful connection of pirouettes, but that was nothing compared to her floor routine. Right at the very beginning, it had the grace and the power necessary to win, and her execution was flawless. As they say in gymnastics, she stuck it. It's really nice to see a spotless performance without any noticeable flaws. Congratulations, Aly, you just delivered the greatest floor routine in the world.

 

I have a hunch that the star-spangled leotard had something to do with it.

It's a very inspirational look, don't you think?

:kaukau: Well, I guess it doesn't count if you're Dutch. Which I am too, coincidentally, though ethnically. My nationality is American. And no matter what other leotards they way, American gymnasts never look as cool as when they're wearing stars and stripes. It's what I'd want to wear for my defining moment.

 

If I was Dutch I'd want to wear lots and lots of orange.

:kaukau: My high school's team colors were orange, white, and blue, the colors of the old Dutch flag. Even though I come from the most Dutch community in the U.S., I think it's ironically just a coincidence. Anyway, that's one of the reasons why I like the color orange a lot.
