But, yeah, I have a little ankle thing.
I got it when I won Nationals, or was that Worlds? But I'm ready to go.
Drugs are ok for some people, But I just would never use them.
I'd feel weak.

Parker here, Many think more beautiful.
We want to know why you don't have your own Makeup line like she does? I don't have my own makeup line or wear miniskirts To show off my belly button.

MJ, you're widely considered to be the expert on talent.
So, who are the girls to look for this year? Well, of course there's Kelly Parker and Payson Keeler, Two very strong competitors.
But Kristen Henneford's floor routine Has sparked quite a buzz.
And let's not forget About Lauren Tanner.

Are we clear? Yes.
All right, then.
Lauren and Kaylie, you're in room 324.
Payson and Emily, 325.
I'm not rooming with Lauren.
- I'm a light sleeperand she snores.
- I do not.
- I'll crash with Kaylie.
- I'll stay with Kaylie.
Don't look at me, and don't talk to me.
And don't make me look at that painful luggage set You got from the dollar store.
I'm nervous enough.
I don't need your crap.
And if you haven't noticed, You're running short of people to talk to, Much less room with.
I'd have my own suite If it weren't for team rules.
But no, we have to shack up with a roomie.
- Like we're all bonded now? - Yeah, sure.
Till you lie, cheater sleep with my boyfriend.
You know, I guess the Pizza Boy Might be worth slumming it for.
Can you believe her? Talking about my back like She's putting some voodoo hex on me? Come on Pay, you're the one that always says Don't let the competition get to you.
I've never seen her affect you like this.
It's not Kelly Parker that's getting to me.
It's just I'm sick of the injury.
I'm sick of lying about it.
And I hate lying about the cortisone.
I'm starting to feel Icky.
Like I'm a fraud.
OK.
What are you doing? Visualizing my floor routine.
I still can't get used to that prissy music Sasha gave me.
And that would be our Team Captain.
For so long it was this fun thing That Dad and I shared.
You know? Just the two of us.
But now it's just not fun anymore.
So much has changed.
He loves you, you know that.
And I love you.
So does Mom.
And so does someone else.
What do you know? About you and Carter? Enough.
I said that I would ask, but that it's totally up to you.
Where is he? I'm sorry.
I just had to come.
I have to be here for you, Kaylie.
Like you were there for me when you slept with my best friend? Did you really think I would never find out it was Lauren? I made a huge mistake but You know, the worst part isn't even that you slept with Lauren.
You lied to me.
And you let me confide in her about us.
And how you were this great guy who was fine with waiting Because you loved me.
God, she must have thought I was so stupid.
- Then again, so did you.
- Kaylie, please.
I love you so much.
Please, Kay, you have to forgive me.
You need me to forgive you.
My dad needs me to be the champion.
Sasha needs me to focus.
Everybody is so quick to tell me what they need me to do.
But what about me, Carter? - What about what I need? - Of course, yes, tell me.
I need to be alone.
Welcome to the American Gymnastics National Championships 2009.
And leading off the parade of teams this year The Denver Elite Gymnastics Club.
Featuring the reigning National Champion, Kelly Parker.
Now entering the arena, The Great Falls Stars Led by Captain Kristen Henneford, And coached by her dad, Kurt Henneford.
Next up The Rocky Mountain Gymnastics Training Center.
Coached by Sasha Belov, and captained by Emily Kmetko.
Let's go, Kaylie! Today is the first day of two days of competition.
Both day's scores will factor into the All Around Competition.
By tomorrow afternoon, we will know Who has made this year's National Gymnastics Team.
I want you to forget everything that's come before this moment.
Forget everything that is to follow.
You are the few, Who have earned the right to be at this place at this time.
You know, there was a time in each of your lives When you sought to be inspired.
Today, you will inspire others.
There was a time when you dreamed dreams.
Today you will live them.
So, what do you say we get this party started? - One, two, three - Rock on.
First up for The Rock, Emily Kmetko.
It's hard to believe, but at this time last year Emily Kmetko was training At the YWCA in Fresno, California.
First big-time meet.
That's a lot of pressure.
Does she even have a shot at making the National Team? Realistically? Probably not.
It's going to be all she can do to keep her nerves in check.
That's OK.
No worries.
We'll get the next one.
Up for The Rock on beam, Lauren Tanner.
Lauren Tanner finished tenth at last year's Nationals.
A lot of people are expecting her to medal this year.
She certainly has a shot.
The judges are going to be looking for a lot more personality Than she's showing them right now.
I don't know what's wrong with her.
- She looks - Angry.
It's my fault.
I let her get her hopes up about her mother.
Hey, you didn't know.
You did.
I should have listened to you.
Where you going? Kelly Parker on bars, Payson Keeler on deck.
Is there anyone who can seriously challenge Either of them for this year's National title? Honestly? No.
I mean, I just don't see anyone ready to step up to their level.
So, I hear your back is hurting.
I hear you're the new cover girl for hemorrhoid cream.
Congrats.
Good luck.
You, too.
Yes! An outstanding routine from Payson Keeler.
That should be good enough to put her in first place on day one.
Still early, though.
Anything can happen.
Shelby, North Carolina.
A listing for Leslie Tanner? Next up on the beam for The Rock, Kaylie Cruz.
Let's go, Kaylie.
This is what we've been working for, baby.
Bring us home the gold.
Bring us home the gold! Now, Kaylie Cruz is always a crowd favorite.
hShe is one of those athletes that know How to entertain an audience.
Is that gonna be enough? Well, you know, Kaylie has kind of plateaued this year.
If she ever dug deep enough to get the grit to match her glitz, She could surprise a lot of people.
Do you have any idea How much you've hurt Lauren? It is one thing to disappoint her, But to raise her hopes like you did? I mean, why did you even tell her that you were gonna What? No, he didn't.
I didn't I didn't know that.
Now, here's the dismount.
Payson's final skill of the day.
Will her lead hold? A fantastic routine by Kelly Parker.
Ooh, that will probably knock Payson Keeler out of the top spot.
There's the score Yes, Kelly Parker will be the leader at the end of day one.
The last athlete of the day for The Rock, Emily Kmetko.
This is a new routine for Kmetko.
Her coach, Sasha Belov, Changed the music on her just a week ago.
And, in all honesty, she still doesn't look comfortable with it.
A disappointing day all around for The Rock.
How bad was it? Not great.
You barely made twentieth.
You've got a lot of catching up to do tomorrow.
But you can do it.
And so, at the conclusion of day one, National Champ Kelly Parker maintains A narrow lead over Payson Keeler.
And with another day of competition there's still Plenty of time for surprises.
Who will make this year's National Team? What are you doing? I'm leaving.
I thought it was Lauren who wouldn't let me in.
But it's you.
What are you talking about? I used to admire you.
I found your devotion to Lauren rare.
Your struggle as a single parent commendable.
But I guess that attraction blinded me.
Because what I thought was A beautiful, loving father-daughter relationship Is actually something unhealthy.
Wait.
Hey, hey, hey.
Hold on.
Where is all this coming from? You told Leslie not to come.
You threatened her not to come.
That's not exactly true.
Lauren was so excited to see her And you scared her off.
Where do we go from here? I go out that door.
You? You can go to I am so not in the mood for this.
If I see any of these judges here I might slit their throats.
How could I not win on beam? How could Kelly Parker be beating me? How long do we have to do this? Let's get this over with so we get back to focusing So we can get back into the game tomorrow.
Don't let her get to you, Pay.
Don't let her get to any of us.
Nice Jaeger on bars today, Payson.
But I saw you wince.
I mean you could take another shot of cortisone.
But it taints the victory, don't you think? Excuse me.
- Well, that was easy.
- Yeah.
You're an expert on easy, aren't you? Really? 'Cause I thought you were.
At least according to Kaylie's boyfriend.
Excuse me.
Yet, he still chose her.
Owie.
It's OK.
Calm down.
Don't let the pressure get to you.
You don't have to win the gold tomorrow, or any medal at all.
Gee, thanks, Dad.
I'm talking to you as your agent here, Not your father.
With your looks and personality, That's all you need for the big endorsement money.
So, the goal is to do well enough.
- Not to win? - Of course I want you to win, But we have to think realistically here.
OK? It's my job to protect your future.
And isn't it a good thing that I got you covered financially, - In case something - Yeah.
Thanks, agent.
Good thinking.
There she is.
Where's Summer? Really? You want Summer here? That's a switch.
Where is she? Summer's not here.
She left.
We're going through a little bump.
She left? She left us? I thought that's what you wanted.
Just the two of us again.
Is it officially Crap On Kaylie Cruz Day? Oh, is your princess shine wearing off? Mmm Don't start, Lauren.
OK.
The BS ends, now.
Right here.
We are tanking in there Because we're all acting like petty little bitches.
So, stop it.
Team Rock is crumbling.
Sad.
But what can you expect? I mean, look at you.
Keeler over here is hurt, and a liar.
Kaylie can't hold on to her own boyfriend.
And Lauren's a tramp.
I mean, who else does that leave? Oh, right.
Your Captain, who's in twentieth.
Who won't ever make the National Team.
And nobody even knows who she is.
Can I get a whoop, whoop for Emily Kmetko? I can't hear you guys! Can I get a whoop, whoop for Emily Kmetko? Brian! What are you doing here? Hi, baby! I can't believe you're here! Come on, come on! I'll show you everything.
It's so neat.
Come on.
Talk to me.
It's my big chance and now that I'm here I'm in over my head.
- Choking.
- You got this in the bag.
Every time I approach an apparatus I close my eyes and I see the same thing.
What do you see? It's the landing.
On every landing I see myself flat on my back.
The crowd boos and I can't move.
Because you're hurt? Because I'm ashamed.
Turn around.
We're gonna try this again.
From the beginning.
Where are you? - I'm on the bars.
- OK.
Imagine you're a cobra.
You strike the bars like a cobra.
Bam! Strong and sure.
And then there you go.
Now you're flying.
You're sailing through it.
No gravity.
Tension perfect.
Like a hawk.
Light.
Strong.
Can you see it? What does it look like? I'm out of body, spinning.
It's like I'm hollow.
It's so fast.
I land the high bar.
What does it feel like? Infinite.
- Like a cloud on jet fuel.
- And? I swing around - About to release.
- And? I do a full-in, propelling.
And you hit the mat, On your feet, Ramrod straight.
A huge smile on your face because you did it.
All right.
The audience, applauding and cheering.
You nailed it, you deserve it.
You deserve it as much As any other girl here.
- I nail it? - Nailed it.
Bang! Bang.
I can't believe you came this far for me.
What can I say? I'm a groupie.
If I don't kill it tomorrow I won't medal.
At least you'll make the National Team.
I have to be perfect tomorrow.
And even then I might not make the team.
Are you gonna take the cortisone? I haven't decided yet.
Where have you been? Guess whose? I got that little dweeb at the front desk to slip me her key.
Then I waited till she and her little devil worshipers left for dinner.
So? We have like, five minutes to lights out.
Then we better hurry up.
- Let's go! - Come on you two.
Ladies.
Might you tell me where you're off to In your pajamas? We're going to the gift shop for magazines.
And toiletries.
Toiletries? Tampons.
I swear As Team Captain, I will have us all back by lights out.
OK.
One more thing.
What's in the bag? Kelly Parker's head.
Carry on.
Nice work, Captain.
Kaylie.
Good morning.
What can I do for you? I want to talk to you about representation.
I thought your father represented you? He doesn't take me seriously.
He doesn't think I'm a champion.
I'd have to agree.
Look, Kaylie, I'm not trying to be unkind.
But gold medals aren't made of gold.
They're made of unmitigated desire, determination And the will to win.
And I just don't see that in you.
Well, you're wrong.
I'm not who you think I am.
When you look in the mirror what do you see? What do you mean? Do you see a pretty 16-year-old girl With lots of options and distractions? Or do you see a champion? And when you ask yourself, "What do I want?" Do you think, "I want a boyfriend, Some new clothes, a day off?" Or do you think, "I want to win?" Because those are the only two answers: Who am I? I'm a champion.
What do I want? I want to win.
So who are you, Kaylie Cruz? And what do you want? Kelly Parker, current National Champion.
Let's see what's in your gym bag? Lip hair removal? Some light reading.
Oh, a little self-help.
Let's see.
Lonely No More: A Dating Guide For Losers.
OK This is not my stuff.
Is this on the jumbotron? Who put these in here? So, this is what losers do instead of practice.
Hope it pays off.
Remember now, you're close.
Just keep your routines clean, Stay focused, and you'll walk out of here with the gold.
OK? Technically, Lauren, you're the best you've ever been.
But can you find some joy in that? Let the judges see it.
If you'll just give them permission to love you, They'll find a place for you on that podium.
You do realize no one expects you to do anything, right? - Great pep talk.
- No.
It's a wonderful place to be.
Total freedom.
I want you to make this your playground.
Think you can do that? Yeah.
More.
More strength.
More desire.
More will.
More effort.
More you, Kaylie.
More you.
OK.
No matter what don't ever doubt it.
I know that you don't want to talk to me Kaylie, but I love you I love you, too.
But it's over.
But you know that - We're meant to be together.
- Right now I'm meant to be something else.
Something that's just about me.
Goodbye, Carter.
Now, that was a very mature decision, Kaylie.
Now let's go out there You made this from your World Series ring.
This signifies your dream.
It's time I find my own.
But, I all I've ever wanted is to support I know.
But you know what I want? I want you to be my dad.
Not my manager.
My Dad.
You Will always be my little girl.
I know.
But I gotta be my own person now.
By the way, MJ? I know who I am And I know what I want.
An incredible vault by The Rock's Kaylie Cruz, Scoring a 16.
2.
That's the highest score awarded so far at Nationals.
Here's Lauren Tanner.
Can she break the top five by the end of the day? Another solid vault for Lauren Tanner.
You could at least pretend like you care, Lauren.
You're lucky.
You have family that loves you And stands by you.
You have people that stand by you.
You said you were on my side.
- You said I could count on you.
- Lauren.
Look, I know I have not been the easiest person to be around, But I believed you.
I believed I could count on you.
You can count on me.
Dad said you left.
I did leave your father, Lauren.
But I didn't leave you.
I'm here.
Look up.
I'm right here.
Now you go out there and show them what you've got.
Here's Payson Keeler.
Looking to overtake Kelly Parker.
A beautiful vault from Keeler.
Payson, what is it? Everything OK? Yeah.
Bathroom.
Just the usual dose.
What are you doing? I thought you said didn't need drugs.
Please, Payson.
We all lie.
No.
No, not all of us.
Next up, Lauren Tanner.
Wow! Isn't it great to see her smile? It looks like The Rock is finally coming to life.
Now, Lauren Tanner has always had precision, But what she's bringing today is heart.
And yes, that will be the highest score of the day on beam.
Here's Payson Keeler, now, up on the bars.
This routine could make Payson the next Nationals All Around Champion.
Payson! Payson.
Payson! No, no.
Don't move her.
- Don't touch her.
- Payson.
Payson, can you hear me? Can you hear me? Payson! Payson! Payson! Can you hear me? - Mom, I didn't take it.
- What? What are you saying, honey? What are you saying? This is terrible.
A terrible thing.
Uh, did you see her moving? No.
I hate to say this, but I didn't.
Kelly Parker may well retain her title.
Ironically, it's Payson's roommate, Kaylie Cruz, Who is within striking distance But she's got to be reeling right now.
Emily Kmetko is up next for The Rock.
She's trying to make the National Team And doing much better, but again, how rattled is she? We are all upset here.
We are all very upset.
But Payson wouldn't want you She wouldn't want any of you to jeopardize Your performance today.
So we all need to be focused here and professional.
We need to do this.
For Payson.
OK? Emily.
You can pull up to twelfth, But you're gonna need something huge.
Which one is your bag? That one.
You're gonna do your floor to your old music.
- Trisha.
- What? Her old music.
- I don't think I can do that.
- I know you can do it.
Emily, the only reason you're behind these others Is they have been brought to serious gyms their entire lives.
You, however, bring a whole life to your gymnastics.
And it's beautiful.
Go out there and show them you're not who they think you are.
Coming up on the floor, Emily Kmetko.
Here's her last chance to make the team.
This should be a good chuckle.
Let's go, Em! You've got this! What's going on? How are you feeling, sweetie? Mom.
What did the doctor say? We're so happy to see you awake.
What did they say? What did the doctors say about my back? Mom, just tell me.
You have a lumbosacral fracture.
- OK.
- It's um It's inoperable, but the good news is that there's no nerve damage.
A fracture can heal.
Sometimes in only a few months.
Right? I'll be able to recover in time for the Olympics, right?.
Honey No.
Gymnasts overcome these things all the time.
This time it's a little different.
What are you saying? Honey We're really, really sorry No.
No.
It can't be over now.
Not like this.
It's very serious.
If you do gymnastics, you May never walk again.
I'm so sorry, honey.
- Oh, my God.
- I'm so sorry.
No.
Oh, my God.
It all comes down to this.
