This post is for my former co-blogger, Jeanne Dupuis who has moved up the b5 ladder as corporate trainer. She’s possibly Paul Hamm’s biggest fan. So, for Jeanne and all of you fans of the Hamm brothers, here are two videos from their performance on the Tour of the Gymnastic Superstars event.

The Tour of the Gymnastic Superstars continues its 36 city tour until November 16.
And, Jeanne hasn’t completely forgotten about the Olympics. Over on her hockey blog, Hockey Beat, she recently discussed how Steve Yzerman (formerly of the Detroit Red Wings) is taking over leadership of Canada’s Olympic hockey team.

The Disney-sponsored 2008 Tour of the Gymnastic Superstars kicked off on Sunday, September 7 in Reno. The 36-city tour features stars from the US mens and womens Olympic gymnastic teams, including Shawn Johnson and Nastia Liukin, as well as favorites such as Paul and Morgan Hamm and Shannon Miller. The Tour will criss-cross the United States until November 16. For times, dates, and locations–and to buy tickets–click on the icon above.

Hamm will be replaced by either Alexander Artemev or David Durante, the two alternates.
