You're such an inspiration to everybody involved in gymnastics. You've totally deserved this.

Mo, I am a 30-year-old former gymnast and I burst into tears when they announced your name at the selection meeting. Then I spoke with my friends - they all had the same reaction, too. It is so impressive to see what you have done with your life and your career. Kick ass at Nationals and make sure you talk with Miss Val beforehand - seems like when you have her on your side, you are unstoppable.

This board is a wonderful idea! I sent a letter to Mohini, but I wasn't sure if she'd get it before she left for camp again! Anyway I just want to say congratulations, your an inspiration to soo many gymnasts young and old. Good luck on the rest of the road to Athens my thought are with you and the rest of the team for a healthy next few weeks.

GO MO! you will do SOOOOOOO good at the olympics!!! We are all rooting for you! Go for the gold, and never give up! I hope you get all 10's! It is very possible for such a wonderful gymnast! Best of Luck!

GO MIGHTY MO!! I wanted you to know that you have so many supporters out there. When you were hurt or feeling down about gymnastics we never forgot about you. For the last 6 months I have been pushing you so much on the intlgymnast bulletin board. Your story is inspirational to anyone who has ever had a dream and work througth their problems to succeed. You are already a gold medalist in my book. Good Luck. JR

Congratulations Mo!! We're looking forward to seeing you bring home a medal!! Keep up the hard work. God bless you.

Good luck in Athens Mo!! I hope that you do well and that the USA wins a medal. Best of luck and keep training hard. I hope to see you on the tour in the fall in Vegas. GOod Luck and keep your head held high.

Hey Mo! You did so well at the Olympic Trials and at the camp! Keep it up so you can do just as well or better at the Olympics in Athens! You are such an inspiration to all of us at AOGC and can't wait to see you get that medal! Keep on training hard! Good luck!

Hey Mo! You are an inspiration to all that knows about you and you gymnastics career has taken you so far!!! After UVLA, I thought you were done! You surprised me when you came to our gym and started training for the Olympics! Now you are going! That is amazing! For you, it is one great thing after another! Keep it up in Athens and you will win a gold on vault!

Hi Mo:
Congradulations from Ashley, Beatrice and Rachel from Puerto Rico. We met u at the competitions this year. We wish you all the luck in the world. Good Luck in Athens.
Rachel, Ashley and Beatrice/ Clup FPG Puerto Rico.

Yo Mo,
You probably don't remember me, but I was about 12 when I saw you compete at the Olympic test event in Atlanta. That was the one where you won vault and Marinescu cried her way to second place behind you and first all-around. I got your autograph then and really thought you were awesome. If I'd known then how much more awesome you were going to get..I dunno...I'd have proposed or something:) I can't tell you how frickin' cool it is that you mad eit here...you really do inspire me.
Thanx, Matt

MOHINI!!! Do you remember me?!! We were friends at Seven Hills Middle School...I remember spotting you during your spontaneous back flips in gym class. I am so happy that you have made it this far- and want to let you know that your Cincinnati contingent is rooting for you. (Tim Wyant also wanted me to pass on his congratulations.) I would love to email with you, although I am sure you are super busy. If you get a free moment, my email is leapayne@adiglobal.com. Lots of love and best of luck in Greece!

HEY MO,

Great job tonight. You really came through when your team needed you. You held the team together and represented your country well. Keep it up during the rest of the Games. Good Luck tuesday night when you and your teammates go for Gold. Whatever happens know that you are making the rest of us Americans proud. Derek DerekL0775@aol.com

Impressive talent Mo. America is fortunate to have you in Athens. I met you at 21 Day Detox (John and Dr.D's friend) Rob Beachndays@aol.com

Is the world real or an illusion? Thank you for making our olympic team so real and wonderful. You are real and illusion all in one, and might I add as well, magic. Please tell me what the music is that you use in your floor routine.

Mo, Your the woman. I was at Jay Leno when Pam was on and she was so excited for you. Best of Luck on Tuesday. GO USA!!!

It was a real pleasure watching you start off each round for team USA the other night. To know the difficulties you overcame to get to Athens makes watching you even more cherishable. Good Luck to you and your team!!

Edited by author 08-16-2004 05:32 PM
First off I just want to say is great job to you and your team. All of you did very well and are off to a great start.

Second thing I want to say is that I played (just finished this year) basketball in college, and love the game a lot. So obviously I'm following the men's team over there and I have to say it it really got me upset to watch them play. Mainly because it seems that they played at times lacking two things that your team does not. That's motivation and a true concept of a TEAM and working as such too. So keep up the good work and get that GOLD girl.

P.S.---If you see Lebron over there tell him the boys from madison, wisconsin say what's up :-P

Great Job on leading the USA Team in the qualifying day of competition...You were really awesome and shined like a star...It was great watching you and the team...Good luck on Tuesday and win that gold medal...GO USA!!

Mo It is 10:30pm here in Mississippi on Monday night...no telling what time it is in Athens right now but i know you and the rest of Team USA have a big day ahead of you. Good Luck and I know that with your experience you will get the reat of your team through the finals. Just remember that all of us here in the States are pulling for you and are proud of you no matter what happens....Good Luck and Lead your team like the leader you are......Derek............ DerekL0775@aol.com

mo-your desire, determination, discipline and dedication to the sport and your team are unparalled. you have shown many a young gymnast what it means to be a team player as well as a leader.
the bottom line should be your enjoyment of the sport and that is apparent in your delivery and your presentation. the road to excellence is lined with many dreams and you are now living those dreams. enjoy the moment. cherish the experience and live the dream.
practice is over-the only thing left is to shine. no matter the results you will know you have tried your best and shined as brightly as you could.
congratulations to a real gymnastics hero. go mo!

GO USA!!!! Ya'll kicked ass! I just watched ya'll win silver. Your floor routine was awesome. I just wanted to let you know that ya'll have fans (Americans) in Europe, and we love ya'll! Mo, I think you have showed young women in our country that they can have anything if they work hard enough to obtain it. Thankyou. GO MO!!

MO You and your team did a hell of a job representing your country. A Silver medal is a great honor for you and your team. You are all Gold Medal winners here in the States. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. Derek DerekL0775@aol.com

Mohini,
Congradulation for the great achievement, you brought a Medal pride, inspiration, and hope to all young Gymnasts.
Good Job!!!

Hey Mo! I just wanted to drop a message. I just learned of your story after watching the Olympics. I think you are an inspiration to alot of people. You are proof that hard work and dedication DOES pay off. It doesn't matter how old you are, you decide when you're at your prime. And now I'm a believer of second chances! Great job at winning the silver and fulfilling your dreams!

Totally inappropriate, but none the less. Mohini you are captivating in your appearance and personality. An amazingly beautiful woman, for that alone, thank you.

YOU ALL REPRESENTED USA BEAUTIFULLY AND ARE OLYMPIC CHAMPIONS...GO USA!!!

Nice work in helping USA to get the silver medal. You looked really confident and solid throughout -- not to mention totally hot-looking in the process! Just wanted to let you know that you've got some male admirers out there!

Really nice to hear your story broadcast all over the USA. I only wish I'd known earlier. Seeing you work the lame job while training made me realize that the networks need to do a better job during the four years in between to help out the atheletes. You are a wonderful inspiration to many. Great job filling in last minute on the beam, and bringing home silver with the team. I hope your are still doing it at 29 and you lead the team to gold. I promise to help make sure you don't have to work while you train for that one! I hope you feel really proud, you deserve it. tom@refmedia.com

MO, Congratulations!!! It doesn't matter if you guys got silver, you guys are still golden to us. I read a lot about your story and it was very touching. By reading about you and watching the profile on you on TV, you are an inspiration to many. You definetly have an admirer in me and I wish you all the best in the future. You came through in the clutch with a resilent performance, amazing is all I can say. Congrats to you and all your teammates!!! And I will say this much you, you are amazingly Beautiful and you have a great smile!!! Congrats again!!!! sdoshi@loews.com

What a performance last nite! You came through when your team needed you to and you didn't break a sweat. Great job, and my step-daughter is so proud of you too. It's nice to know that there are more and better inspirations out there for her besides Britney Spears and Madonna! I'm 32 and an ex-semi-pro volleyball player, you also re-assured me that age is only a number. Thanks Mo, and let me know when you're in Chicago so I can bring my step-daughter to see you perform! Thanks again, although "thanks" just doesn't seem like enough for what you've done for everybody. jeremymshaw@hotmail.com

HEY MO. CONGRATULATIONS ON A WELL DONE REMARKABLE JOB. YOU WERE SO AWESOME. YOU CAME THROUGH ON BEAM FOR TEAM USA. YOU REPRESENTED TEAM USA WITH PRIDE N BEAUTY. WAY TO GO BRING HOME THE SILVER MEDAL BUT THATS NOT ALL YOU GIRLS ARE OLYMPIAN CHAMPIONS N GOLDEN TO OUR COUNTRY N WE ARE PROUD OF YOU. WAY TO REPRESENT USA. GOOD JOB USA GYMNASTICS. GO USA!!!

Mo,

The whole country owes you a debt...there's no doubt that our team wouldn't be on the medal stand without that gutsy beam routine :) I'm an archeologist and a symphony musician in the Dallas area, and I'm 26...so I've seen a lot of the world and certainly a lot of the Olympics. You would think that by 26 I would have had a crush on some athlete...I'm proud to say you're my first! Great job, again!
hylesnet@yahoo.com

Hey Mo,
       just wanted to say that, you gave a great performance on tuesday. You and US team. Even though it wasn't the gold, everyone still gave it there all. Like your teammates said, Silver is still good. Even though the team didn't get the gold, you guys have to look on the bright side. There always the next olympic games.I mean, each year you ladies get better and better each time. You just keep practicing hard and do what you do best. Your fans, friends and family will always support you no matter how tough things get, you know.Just stay focus so the next olympic games you will be ready. And just think of this like it's just another gymnastics competition. Wish you the best of luck from now till whenever you decide to call in the quits. And congratulations on bringing us the silver. Vahn002@aol.com or Vahn005@aol.com

Hi, Mo!

I just wanted to say thank you- you are not only an amazing gymnist, but you've inspired my husband and I more than you know. After watching a bio on the Olympics about you and your struggles, it hit me that maybe we weren't sacrificing as much as we thought. James and I are both artists (graphic design, theatre)- I have been wanting to move to LA for awhile now to go to graduate school, so we're trying to save money in order to make our dream happen. Sometimes I feel like I'm behind because of my age (27), but seeing your story really woke me up. I muted the tv once it was over and said, 'we need to sacrifice even more- what we're doing is just not enough'. Every time I think we need this or we need that- I think of what you have sacrificed for your dream and I realize that stuff just isn't important. What is important is following your heart and your dream.

So, congrads on the silver metal and good luck in the all-around! And thank you for your inspiration!

Way to go Mo! Watched you and your team last night and I think you have done an outstanding job especially on the beam! You have given alot of us a great deal of inspiration, thank you for that. Very well done on getting Silver, what an accomplishment!
All the best.
kamal_prasad@toyota.com

Just amazing, congrats. I mean you guys gave it your all and thats all anyone can ask. Just a great job and I don't believe we could have had a better person or team over there represent this country.

Mo, You Rock! =) Way to go in Greece!! You showed what most people now days don't. PASSION! I'm sure that's just the type of person you are. The US Team is lucky to have such an individual. I wasn't to keen to the games this year, but your performance has renewed my sprit. Way to lead by example! Keep up the inspiring hard work and congrads on your Olympic accomplishment. You deserve it! If you ever need a website for your foundation let me know.

Dear Ms Bhardwaj,

Congratulations on your performances and silver medal in Athens. It was a pleasure and quite inspirational to watch you perform.

I work for New Century Mortgage Corporation. It is headquartered in Irvine, CA. It is the nation's largest specialty mortgage lender. I manage the company's Management Trainee Program. The Program is for recently graduated college seniors. It is a 56-week training program that teaches them our business from nuts to bolts and prepares them for future leadership positions.

The Management Trainee Program is very competitive. Only the best and brightest graduates are selected. The first class recently started and we are in the process of recruiting for our next class. We are looking for 20 Trainees and will screen more than 1500 applicants to find them.

As I watched the Olympics and heard your story, it occured to me that you would be an excellent candidate for our program. The starting salary, while in training, has a base of $36K, but with bonuses Trainees can expect to earn more than $40K while still in learning the business. Once out of the program the average salary for graduates is in six figures.

I don't know what your future holds for you. I do know that in your very capable hands it will be as bright as the medal you won. If you are interested in talking with me about a challenging and rewarding career with opportunities to lead another team, please call me or send me an E-mail.

I will be out of the office next week and return on August 30. My work number is 949 797-5732 and my E-mail address is alanders@ncen.com. Our company web site is undergoing revisions, but can be found at www.ncen.com or www.newcentury.com. I look forward to talking with you.

Respectfully,

Alan Landers
Director, AE Development
New Century Mortgage Corporation

Great job Mo!!! We were really excited that you made the team and won the team metal! We have been keeping up with you recently after reading an article about you in the Houston Chronicle. My brother is really excited about you doing so well because he says that he knows you from a few years back before your college days. His name is Freddie but at that time he was also known by "Fry". I don't know if that rings a bell, but He was hoping it would.

If you do remember him He was hoping that you could send him a Hey at nani49@netzero.com. Good luck tomorrow!!

Hi Mohini
Great job done !!!!!!!!!!
Proud of u
I am an executive director of an entertainment(Indian and American music and dance) company.

HEY MO..GOOD LUCK TO YOU IN THE INDIVIDUAL EVENTS FINAL...YOU'LL DO AWESOME LIKE YOU DID IN THE TEAM QUALIFYING AND TEAM FINALS..YOU ROCK AND WIN THOSE GOLD!! GO MOHINI!!!

Mohini....You have been a real pleasure to watch during these Games. Tou are an inspiration to all. What you have accomplished during these Olympics should help push everyone to strive for perfection. You are a true American HERO!!!!!!! Keep striving for perfection!!!! It would be nice to be able to tell you instead of this computer but we all have hurdles to cross. Derek DerekL0775@aol.com

MOHINI I LOVE YOU

Hey MO,
      It's me again. I just saw you perform and saw the results. I was shocked when I saw that you got a 9.312. I honestly thought something wasn't right.I mean you didn't even mess up. Well I'm sure you know what happen, so if you don't mind, can you please let me know why you got the score that you got. By the way, you were great out there. Just keep up the good work, have fun, and do what you do best.
Vahn002@aol.com or Vahn005@aol.com

Hello there,
  After I had finished watching the olympics for the evening, i couldn't help but notice your name being mentioned. As you can probably see from the last name, we share something in common. I never would have expected to see anyone with this similarity (especially under these circumstances), by which i mean exact same spelling. I am a 21 year old college student from Stockton,CA hopefully looking to transfer to UCLA in the near future. I will be looking forward to hearing from you, but in the in meantime, CONGRATS to you in the Olympics and in all your major accomplishments! Sambosky7@aol.com

Hey Mo,

I just watched the last gymnastics event last night and saw you in the floor exercise and couldn't believe the score you got. Well it doesn't matter because your story was touching and you have been a great inspiration to everyone and especially the South Asian Community. You were the only reason why I watched the Olympics and it was a pleasure watching you. Once again Congratulations on your achievements and good luck in the future!!! One thing is for sure, you made us all proud. I know it's a long shot, but if you are in the NYC area, it would be a honor to meet you. And it would be a honor and a pleasure to have an autographed pic of you.

Thank you for making Gymnastics fun to watch.....

sdoshi@loews.com
tgisid@loews.com

 I LOVE YOUR SPIRT THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE WORLD THAT AGE MEANS NOTHING , AND AT YOUR LAST EVENT YOUR SCORE WAS WAY, TO LOW...LOOK IAM NOT THAT STONG SOMETIMES MY SELF , BUT YOUR STORY AND COURAGE HAS MADE ME START TO THINK ABOUT MY GOALS AND DREAMS....YOU GOT SO MUCH MORE TO GIVE TO THE WORLD AND THIS SPORT, AND FOR A SHORT TIME HERE IN THIS HOME THAT SMILE MADE ME THINK THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE OK PEACE.....DRAVEN LEE P.S. THEY BETTER GIVE YOU A COMERICAL BEAUTIFUL SISTERS OF COLOR MUST BE SHOWN IN THIS SPORT IF IT IS TO GROW BIGGER THEN JUST THE OLYMPICS.

You are the most beautiful women in the world.

I think I will write my next song about you. Congrats successful and amazing efforts in Athens.

Your floor exercise was way better then any of the others and should have at the least come in 2nd. You handled the unreal low score with the same admirable style as you showed in the team event. The Romanian team gets way to much favoritism if you ask me. I'm sure you have your own opinion about that though. BTW, what's up with them always landing and taking a step back to pose? It looks like they stick the landing, but the quick step back helps with keeping balanced. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one that has noticed that.

You did great MO and have shown a nation what hard work and dedication can produce. Way to make a come back girl!! =) Your success is bigger and brighter then any medal.

Hey Mo, You should have been in the champions Galla. It is unfare to leave out a true champion like yourself. You are a true inspiration to everyone and a true Champion. Keep going for Gold in whatever you do in life. A TRUE ROLE MODEL TO ALL!!!!!! DEREK DerekL0775@aol.com

MO,
I agree with Derek, you should've been at the Champions Gala. You are a champion and I think you should've definetly been at the Gala. Mo, you are definetly an inspiration to all and I hope you get everything you want in life. I heard the US Gymnastics team is going on a tour, hopefully I will see you in NYC. BEST OF LUCK!!!
sdoshi@loews.com

Hello Mohini, I wasn't planning on writting anything and really don't know what to say, or even believe you have time to read everyones comments. But a friend of mine was in gymnastic so because of her I do watch the sport if I see that it is on TV. I think it's great that everyone on the team did a great job, but does it ever feel sad or mad that you only won a silver? I am not trying to take anything away from the silver or bronze winners but if your shooting for gold is it bitter sweet winning the silver. Thanks for your time.

I can't believe you weren't in the Champions Gala. I stayed up late to watch it just to be disappointed on NBC's coverage. I live in Oklahoma City so will you be here in October for the tour? If so, I'd like to know so that I can buy my ticket to see you. Maybe we can grab a pizza while listening to some Beastie Boys. ;D BTW, you were robbed on the floor final!! I think your routine was the best because of that first run that you do where you punch out! I've been a fan of gymnastics since the '92 Olympics but lost interest after I left for the Marines. Thanks for rekindling it again. Also, are you single? I have to say that you have the most gorgeous eyes and smile, and that's the main reason I've been sucked into the sport again. Thanks for doing a good job for the US team!

P.S. I hate it how they hardly mention your name on tv or the coverage. You deserve more attention and recognition!

I forgot to add, are your going to continue the sport or are you retiring? I hope you stay in for a few more years.

Damn, I always miss stuff! Does anyone here happen to have a copy of the Leno episode he/she would be willing to send me? Please email me at Scullybugs@aol.com.

And yeah, this David Williams dude sure is lucky!

Damn, I always miss stuff! Does anyone here happen to have a copy of the Leno episode he/she would be willing to send me? Please email me at Scullybugs@aol.com.

I made up David Williams. Why didn;t her fiance help her finacially. beacuse if he didnt do it now. then what makes her think she will do it for him in the years to come?

but Mo you are the coolest. Dont listen to the things i say that sound stupid. I know nothing. im juts a member of a has been band....

I figured you made up David Williams after I posted back. I am a bit slow at times. Hahaha!

Yeah, what's up with this fiance? My ass would have maxed out my credit card for you, Mo :) And I've never even heard of him until now. When did you have time to date while training?

And dude, you are NOT really Art Alexakis are you?! Cuz seriously you had some good tunes for a while.

HEHEHE No but that's my dad! I think his music stinks. BUT DON'T tell him I said that! LOL! Go Mo!

Pooja and I try to copy your routines, without the double piked back stuff, of corse. We are level 5 gymnasts. Whenever we do anything in gymnastics we think of you and how you proform the skills and we get them perfect each time! Before we sign off we wanted to congradulate you on your engagment. We hope that you will go to the next olympics.
