It's unfortunate that
3 of the US women made mistakes in the team gymnastics event. So China simply out-performed them, and that's all there is to it. I hope the team can grow to be happy with the silver they got, considering the points they achieved.
That said, it is a bit disgusting to me that so many of the Chinese gymnasts
appear to be under the 16-year-old minimum. But I am sure, especially in a country such as China, there will never be a way to prove they were too young to compete.
Let's all just hope for better luck in the individual events.
And as to another sport,
cheer on my friends on the Rowing team! I know the 3 guys in the bow of the Men's 8+ (Beau, Matt and Micah, respectively) and they have made it to the semifinals round.
The M8+ got gold back in Athens, so we're hoping for at least a medal, this time, too!
GO USA!
