![]() | Li Xiaoping: World Champion & Elite Coach LI XIAOPING -- one of China's Greatest Sports Heros is back home in Beijing -- to help his native land host the Summer Olympics. Back in the '84 Games in Los Angeles, Xiaoping became one of China's first world champion gymnasts. Recruited as a young boy with naturally long arms, Xiaoping reigned as the world champion on the pommel horse, and later helped his team capture a silver medal in LA. Back then, gymnasts had to compete in all events, not just one event, as they can do today. He would later marry his teammate, Jia Wen, who was part of China's World Champion Silver Medal Team. Today, they are retired, coaching Olympic hopefuls in America -- and teaching to the west what they learned growing up in the east. Their school in Orange County, California is regarded as one of the best in America - South Coast Gymnastics. www.scgtc.com. OLYMPIANS IN PURSUIT OF PERFECTION.

![]() | ***TeamFlightBrothers: Dunking for a Cause*** Video produced by B. Tyler Margison I didn't want to put this on my regular account, so I decided to post it here, with the rest of our basketball stuff. ----------- TFB invades Illinois Eastern University for a basketball fundraiser for Mother's Against Drunk Driving. My dad and I drove from Brown County, Indiana, to Charleston, Illinois to see this game. It was a great experience that even two open-run-and-baseline-seats at AND1 games couldn't top. Werm and Iddy showed up to display their talents, and still managed to do so even though the court had no grip whatsoever. The dunkers shown at the beginning, who are missing, are other players that were there from IEU and the surrounding area. The kid that Iddy windmills over walked straight up to Iddy and said, "My dad wanted to know if you would jump over me." Iddy delivered. I personally got to meet Werm and was rather starstruck. Keep in mind I'm 5'7", he's 6'2", so I already felt out of place, but he was a really nice guy. I also got to film using his camera, but all the footage on this mix is from mine. www.teamflightbrothers.com teamflightbrothers.ning.com Song is Instrumental 4 by Phil Bridges.
