i hope they go 1-2. i am glad shawn is leading. i want shawn to get a gold. im rooting for her. i dont wish this on anyone, but i hope japan ... she lost. the balance check screwed her. edit. i aws typing it, and she lost her balanced. whoa. game over. she fell again.
it's funny how they never mention this Japanese girl looks even younger than that Chinese girls. sigh...
liukin seems like she's going to have some of the most disappointment ever for someone who won the all-around and has 1 gold, 3 silvers, and a bronze in the same olympics. with the 2 best gymnasts in the world, we only got a silver instead of gold in the team competition, she gets a heartbreaking silver in uneven bars on some bizarre tiebreaker, and now is going to just barely get a bronze and silver behind a teammate on the floor and beam. her totals could have been even more ridiculous (like 3 or 4 golds) than they already are if things had broken her way. presumably she'll still be able to be happy with being the gymnast of these olympics.
It's funny how netizen whiners think anybody cares how old the 15-year old Japanese who finished in last place is. Should she have to return the last place medal?
That you need a meaningless tangent to avoid confronting potentially unpleasant truth? Yes that point is proven my netifriend.
