	Don't call Patterson the new Mary Lou - Gymnastics - MSNBC.com
		Patterson didn’t win her gold, as Retton did in Los Angeles, at a boycotted Olympics against a field that lacked most of the world’s great teams, but here in Athens, against the Russians, the Romanians, the Chinese.
		Also like Retton, Patterson came from behind to win, reeling in Svetlana Khorkina, the painfully thin and exquisitely graceful prima donna of Russian gymnastics, with a solid routine on the balance beam and burying her with a 9.712 floor exercise that was as close to perfection as the sport’s tough new scoring rules allow.
		Carly Patterson, who wasn’t even born when Retton landed her perfect 10 in the vault, was one of those girls.

	Carly Patterson upstages favored Russian to win gymnastics gold (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Patterson is the first U.S. woman to win the all-around title since Mary Lou Retton in 1984, and no one was happier about it than America's first golden girl.
		When Patterson's winning score was posted, coach Evgeny Marchenko lifted her on his left shoulder and paraded her in front of the fans: a champion's chariot for a championship effort.
		Patterson answered with a 9.575, a much better effort than in team final, when she got caught up during one of her spins and lost precious tenths of points that made the difference in America's silver-medal showing against Romania.

		Stress is a sensation for the overmatched and the underprepared, and Patterson is neither.
		Patterson was at her best when her margin for error was the smallest – atop the 4-inch-wide balance beam.
		Patterson, by contrast, depends on the difficulty of her program instead of her ability to strike a pose.

		Carly Patterson's balance-beam routine told you all you needed to know about the toughness of the 16-year-old, 4-9 Texan nicknamed Carly Davidson for her purring power as a gymnast.
		Patterson's dismount off the four-inch-wide beam is a maneuver so difficult -- it starts with a blind, backward takeoff and ends with a blind, twisting double-flip landing -- that it is rated Super E in the sport's code of points.
		Patterson needed to stick her signature move Thursday to beat the sport's graceful diva, Russia's Svetlana Khorkina, for the all-around gold medal.

		Comment: As a Carly Patterson fan, I picked up this book at the library when I was bored and finished it in about 25 minutes.
		So it was just a guess that Carly would win/do well at the Olympics and become an "idol," and pure luck for this author and the publisher that she actually did!
		Carly is very talented, but you can't determine in advance who will really win, because anything can happen in a sport like gymnastics; you can predict, but it might not come true.
