Olympic Alphabet - A is for...

..... Adventure

Being an olympic athlete isn't about your one day in the spotlights with the cameras rolling and the pressure on. It's about the thousands of days in the gym or at the track or at the rink, working in persuit of a dream. It's all part of the journey - enjoy the ride.

..... A is also for Amy

Team GB's one and only reigning winter olympic medallist. Be proud!

Nastia - still living in a whirlwind.

Olympic champ Nastia Liukin's feet have barely touched the ground since she got off the plane from Beijing. Her latest piece - a cameo on the american drama 'Make it or Break it'.

She does a nice little behind-the-scenes piece here. I'm sure her actual cameo will be hitting youtube soon.


I was hoping we might see her competing again this year, maybe on bars or floor as she almost did last year. But that seems increasingly unlikely as she continues to balance being a superstar gymnast with being a superstar.

Hard life isn't it!
