Chinese Spies Want Them! You know you do too!

Ellen,

Ah, so much has happened while you were on vacation this summer. And by vacation I mean, living it up on SYTYCD. Back injury my bootie. Pssssh.

Vanessa Zamarripa decided to go "elite" which is the highest level in gymnastics, the one that lets you qualify to the Olympics. And not only did she make it to the National Championship, but she made vault finals and made the National Team. She did this after working on elite routines for only a couple of months. And, she did a secret vault, the "Cheng" that has never been competed by any other American gymnast! Ever! I mean, she's basically a total badass Ellen. Witness below: 

Are you ready for the scandalous part? I thought you would be. So, Miss Val got a call from China. The Chinese press wanted to know how long Zam had been working on her "Cheng" vault. You see Ellen, the current Olympic vault bronze medalist is the originator of the vault, China's Cheng Fei. Zam is so awesome she has practically caused an international incident! Fascinating interview material for a talk show if you ask me.

And then the afterglow...

This totally reminds me of the kind of thing you would do on the show. If you were giving away a new car or some prize, you would totally do the glowey sparkle stars thing. Come on...you can admit it.

And of course, Miss Val with Anna and her boyfriend Sean (of tribute video fame). 

And last but not least, the obligatory, photo with the pilot. I mean, we alllll have one of these right?

Emote - totally normal sports word

Ellen!
What's shakin'? Have you been wondering why the UCLA routines are so different and artistic compared to what you have seen on tv? This Fox Sports West story shows video of Miss Val  narrating the story of Anna Li's routine as she does it. I love this kind of behind the scenes stuff! Don't you?
