After numerous shoulder injuries, many ruled Blaine out in his quest for an Olympic Medal, but nothing could stop him. After loosing a child, and watching another grow, Blaine’s whole attitude to the sport changed. No longer was he the bad boy of gymnastics, he was the experienced one that everyone looked to. So as the 2004 Olympic Year began, everyone looked to Blaine to show them how it’s done. In February a torn biceps, almost crushed Blaine’s Olympic Dreams, but he had worked to hard to give up now. Blaine fought back against what many thought was impossible, he came through and made the Olympic Team. In Athens, Blaine was out to win a medal, not for himself, but for his country. He did just that. With his team they won the first Olympic Medal since 1932 in a non boycotted Olympics, Silver.
Although Blaine had announced that his career would be ending after the 2004 Olympic Games, you won’t find him away from the gym just yet. After touring with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Tour, Blaine decided to give it one more year, in hopes of earning his sixth national title. Blaine’s career is one that no gymnastics fan will forget too eaisly, how could you, 5 National Titles, 5 American Cup Titles, and Olympic Silver.
