Bhardwaj chosen U.S. Olympics team captainNews

Mohini reaps the rewards of intensity and seniority:

Mohini Bhardwaj’s already impressive story just got a little better. Bhardwaj, who is one of the oldest female gymnasts in the Athens Games at 25, was selected as captain of the U.S. women’s gymnastics team. “From a year ago, if you had taken odds on her making our Olympic team — even the odds of making it to nationals — she just continues to impress,” USA Gymnastics president Bob Colarossi said Wednesday.

I’ve been following her pint-sized Rocky story for awhile.

It’s a bit of a surprise since she was one of the last chosen for the team, but only ex-Cuban gymnast Annia Hatch outranks her in seniority (Bhardwaj is 25, Hatch is 26). Both are the oldest female U.S. gymnasts in the Olympics in 40 years.
