She (Patterson) did say it “was a competition, like any other” in a post-medal interview. That’s a pretty ignorant thing to say about the Olympics, even for a 16-year-old.
Here! raising hand She was by far the most well-proportioned of anyone who competed.
The bell she rings for me is that she looks like a 16 year old Gillian Anderson. Was it just me, or did anyone else see the resemblance?
Bullshit!
It was exactly the thing to say, and think. It is just another competition. That is the way some competitors approach any contest of skill. You don’t psych yourself out that way. It’s just another competition, just like the one you won last time…
She looked like Violet Beauregarde to me. Except not purple.
Sounds like humility to me. She doesn’t want to brag about being in the greatest tournament on earth.
sturmhauke so she does!
No, but she makes me salivate.
Well, I thought that’s what you wanted to to hear.
I was going for the very difficult Triple Entendre, with a start value of 9.8.
no idea what the phrase means, dictionary.com and urbandictionary.com were no help, so I am going to assume entendre means 'meaning.
Entendre 1 : Does she have someone (boyfriend) who’s ‘bell’ she rings.
Lucky guy.
Entendre 2 : not quite sure, some in joke about some reason why people should know of her.
Entendre 3 : does she ‘ring’ my ‘bell’? Well as I have said, the gymnasts are amazing to watch and this one is cute, but they are too young to ring my ‘bell’
If I am making no sense at all don’t worry, I tend to make no sense.
Actually, the joke was about making a “double entendre”. More of a pun, though, really, because it’s not really a “dirty” meaning behind it. Why is it supposed to be cute?
Asking if “Anna Pavlova” rings a bell means do you recognize her? Have you ever heard her name before? BUT Pavlov is also the researcher who would make dogs salivate by ringing a bell. Pavlova = Pavlov, ringing a bell, ha ha ha.
Sorry but I missed the “triple” part… think they were trying to make it look like a gymnastics term! 
That’s one.
That’s two.
And that’s three.
But you failed to stick the landing, costing you points. You finish with a 9.375.
The crowd boos.
With an 8.80 from the Canadian and Malaysian judges.
Mohini Bhardwaj, Anna Pavlova, and Catalina Ponor are all extremely beautiful. If I swung that way, I think I’d be interested in them. A lot.
As it is, though, Marian Dragulescu from the Romanian men’s team rings my bell, even if there’s unfortunately only one entendre to be found here.
Or maybe “I’m speeding like a Japanese bullet train.”
