    if i just did what they did, i'd be all sorts of retired. you could hardly top what they've done, and i wouldn't wanna put my body through 4 more years of gymnastics training.

    and i was just going to ask, did they get a smaller couch b/c her feet reach the floor now.


    shawn, turn 18!

    the judging was rigged, totally an unfair competition, wow what a load of BS, judging was incompetent.

    Oh wait, the US won? nevermind.

    man, still thinking about shawn in that interview. she went up like 5 levels of hotness in about a 15 minute span from before her routine to that interview. i'm pretty sure that's a record.

    ****, what did he lose by? .025? even the chinese think he should have won! china is just edging people out for these medals (not really saying the judging was wrong, horton seems happy) like the scores are planned out depending on what others have done.

    Yeah, I was surprised to hear the majority Chinese crowd booing. He should get a medal though.

    The boos were certianly from American spectators. Talking about attitude. Maybe we all should learn a lot from Johnson.

    When asked in conference, Chinese coach actually reveal the secret - they studied the rules harder and better. The new scoring system not only awards high difficulty, it also awards better connections between skills. Zou had both, while Horton's A score is the same but connection points was a little lower.

    actually i already know what he gets, but it still makes me mad to see us just barely lose another medal placement to china on super close scores.

    How do you know it was just American spectators that were booing. Are you sitting in the audience?

    sometimes it seems like the releases are the easiest (if still most risky) part of these high bar routines. the good ones make those impossible releases look easy and then mess up some easy spin or handstand.

    Chinese people don't boo. boo is not an expression in Chinese culture. i have never heard boo from Chinese people ever until I came to US.
