I am NOT being melodramatic. Maybe if you were actually watching it you would see.
And Shawn got ROBBED on the uneven bars. She should have had gold easily. But it (LITERALLY) took an angry Russian yelling at the judges to get them to be fair.

All they have online is judo and sailing.
Epic fail.

Well the good thing is that China did not get all the gold for gymnastics!
Both girls did very well, and helped put USA back into first place!

I also forgot to post how much I loved it when we beat France in the 4x200 relay! Piersol just completely amazed me! Thanks to him, Phelps kept his dream alive!

But it (LITERALLY) took an angry Russian yelling at the judges to get them to be fair. Being upset that the US gymnastics team lost to the undoubtedly underage Chinese team = understandable. Screeching about it in every single post = melodramatic. And I have been watching it, thank you. Besides, the US has pretty much dominated the swimming portion, so why get bent out of shape over the gymnastics bit?

That is so true. These athletes train for so many hours for four whole years, and all their hard work is only shown in the 16 days of the Olympics. I sort of feel sorry for them sometimes.

And I was referrering to Tungsten when I said that

Yeah..quite a number of them have trouble finding jobs and getting adjusted to regular life. One female weight-lifter for china had to resort of cleaning public restrooms until people donated money to buy her a laundromat. I feel bad for people who win gold in sports people don't really care about.."/

Okay let's tone down the quips and the insults, I really don't want things to get out of hand. VP I can understand where you're coming from but your attitude really isn't contributing to a positive conversation. It feels like your spamming and whining more then having a serious discussion with people.

But there is nothing positive to say about that issue.
