This little squirrel is the favorite going into the finals of the "Tree Exercise" portion for the USA Squirrel Gymnastic team! Give him a hand!
First we have the mount.....notice the strength in those arms!
This is a very tricky maneuver! One little slip and he might fall on his head!

This is a very tricky maneuver! One little slip and he might fall on his head!You lose a lot of points if you fall on your head.
Now we twist around for a bottom approach! Look at the tail position....very important!
Would you look at this one?.........Fantastic leg extension and perfect tail waving!

Would you look at this one?.........Fantastic leg extension and perfect tail waving!This guys gets extra points for artistic interpretation!
Now we move into the most difficult, but required pose of all..........a hush falls over the crowd....
......and he makes it!
A perfect "hang 10"!
Extremely difficult and he isn't even sweating!
Look at that perfectly matched foot positioning!
.....And a winning smile for the crowd as he holds onto the pose!
Finishing off with a perfect dismount to end the preformance!

Thanks everyone! I'm willing to check out the foreign competition here..got any Olympic hopefuls among your own squirrels??
Roy: Always can count on the Russian judges for a low mark...drat! Do they even HAVE squrrels in Russia??
