The AP story that all the sports outlets are using fails to mention his outstanding performance and his story to focus on Morgan Hamm? I cannot claim any acquired knowledge of gymnastics, or to even being real fan, but I remember the '04 trials and I watched Saturday. But, it seems that the selection committee should have explain why Raj Bhavsar, once again, is not on the team. Thanks for metioning Raj Bhavsar.

Who is going to want to buy products from athletes who participates in sports that few people will watch? Even if the swimmers break world records wearing their LZRs, their records are meaningless to me when compared to the swimmers who wore the briefs. As for the divers, they'll be demonstrating both the art and science of diving. Unfortunately, the swimmers will have lost the artistic aspect of their sport. :roll: The regular swimmers may move faster in the water with their coverall LZRs; they’ll lose with the sex appeal with the public.
