2009 world all-around champion Bridget Sloan is featured in a nice profile piece in The New York Times -- and gives candid quotes about how's she's "grown up" in the last year since Beijing.

A few interesting tidbits from the article:

• "People always come up to me and say, 'Hmm, you look different; you don't look like you did at the Olympics.' And I don't, thank God. I don't feel the same, either." (Quote from Sloan)
• "She said she had not decided whether to go to college or to try for her second Olympics -- or both."
• "If you're not 10 minutes early, you're late. That's Martha time." (A quote from Sloan, in reference to national team coordinator Martha Karolyi)

The Chinese women struggled at the 2003 World Championships. Medal favorites, they lost the bronze in the team competition due to a procedural violation. One of the stars on the team, Fan Ye, fell on a simple release move in the uneven bars final and lost another medal opportunity.

Despite the disappointments, Fan excelled in the beam finals, earning the gold medal and the highest score of the competition. The highlight? A perfectly stuck double tuck dismount.
