Oh! Did you see this?
How did that woman not spit? I thought she would any second. And Bela is going to defect from gymnastics or the Planet Earth or something.
I don't know who should get the highest starting score for difficulty: Alicia for holding back tears or Nastia for holding back spit.
I vote Alicia. She had to hold back tears the whole freakin Olympics!

Isn't that her dad? She did seem awfully cranky the entire time. Girl needs to relax.

She was robbed. So was Alicia Sacramone on vault. Who are the Chinese 12 year olds paying?

.75 - Well, true. She was interviewd later saying she did go back to her room and have a good cry.
Jenny - Yeah, DAD/COACH/OLYMPIAN GOLD MEDALIST NO PRESSURE THERE.
Caroline - Oh, not even 12. And every single one of them cried when they failed. Deduction! No Face Medal for you!
