Man oh man. Didn't the Olympic Trials look like fun? The stars of 2000 hanging out, being real. This is what life is all about!
Sometimes I forget that Dominique Moceanu was a force at that time. Her book would certainly have you think that she hadn't competed between the years of 1998-2005, but alas, she was a large part of the scene in both 1999 and 2000. So it makes perfect sense that she would be a part of the Year 2000 Hot Bitches Who Are Fabulous group.
This encouraged me to rack my brain, and try to remember where else I could place my childhood hero, one Miss Moceanu. Is she not everywhere all of the time? Is she not gymnastics' very own Waldo?
Yes. Yes she is.
A true ambassador of the sport. May we all continue to be blessed with her presence for years to come.

ReplyDelete...yes?
She is insufferable.
ReplyDeleteHey, Dominique is our very own Jan! (MIOBI)
ReplyDeleteOmigoodness you're right! So Elizabeth Price is the real life Colleen Evans, and now Domi is the real life Jan!
DeleteHilarious... Thank Gawd I got Aunt Joyce to go to now.
ReplyDeleteThis post caused me to look up Dominique on Wiki ... that story of her younger sister being born without legs and then given up for adoption is INSANE.
ReplyDeleteElise Ray always seemed like the nicest, most normal person, and I think this picture proves it :)
ReplyDeleteI agree! I also love that she was a Cirque du Soleil performer after she graduated college!
