    This is the exact opposite of the men's all around...all the top girls have been pretty much rock solid all night. And they keep stepping up their game.

    His performance of a lifetime wasn't good enough. So he should not have gotten his gold no matter what.

    I agree with this, 16 or not they deserved to win that event. This event is something else tho.

    the puttin' on the ritz girl, did her routine seem ridiculously easy (at least as gymnastics go)? 3 fairly easy tumbling passes and a lot of dancing. i didn't even look at her score but that seemed like a weak routine to use. but she did it well i guess.

    Ok since NBC decided to cut and edit this tape delayed version I'll wait and see.

    Can't you at least tell me what happens in Chinese?

    he said if you IGNORE the fact that they're underage, then they deserve it (meaning there was no age rules). big difference.

    Kerri Strug was on Social Security - I think she was spent the afternoons boozing and playing canasta.

    just watch. tomorrow the headline news will be. despite bad judging, US still wins the gold.

    but if you look at the overall score, the judging has been fair. :D stupid commentators making it look like it's all rigged. creating something out of nothing.
