Oksana is my female inspiraton for these games! I did not know she is 37! How is it possible a 37 year old is competing with 7 babies on vault. ya know, that was a shocker for McKayla. gABYY SHOULD BE BEING MADE A FUSS OF LIKE pHELPS BECAUSE sorry caps again stuck twice...she made history not only as a sister winning AA. Only one other black girl, Dominique Dawes won a team gold in 96. Gabby could get a medal on bars and likely will medal if she is on like she has been. I think she is not special at all on the beam.
I felt bad for Mckayla as she should have had a perfect score on vault. I wish US gymnastics had asked where are the deductions? Serious Buinesss would you know where they deducted her team vaults? This should have been perfect score, and I think would have taken the sting out of her silver on ind. vault. She is far and away the best vaulter in the world. Silver is not too bad, but she truly was expected by ALL to post another huge score. I was disappointed for her, but hey, I did wish for the medals to be spread around since USA has a haul of gold. Gabby if she goes clean with a good dismount should medal again on bars, but she is not a shoe-in for gold. Whatever the 37 year old has left, I'd love to see the gold as she did not medal on vault.
SBusiness, who took bronze on vault? They didn't even mention her, I don't think. MacKayla Maroney's coach should protest any deductions she gets on the next perfect missile vault with a stuck landing. She is insanely crazy perfect and two feet higher than anyone. One thing I hate about gymnstics is their obsession with a stuck landing. My god, look what they do in the air and some little hop, which is normal as most landings have a bounce. They make everyone crazy with the "stickit!" screams. It seems so minor and unimportant.
I give Uchimura a tenth for best hair. Japanese men sure do like to use hair product, lol. I have none!
Oh, and SB, very interesting about the spin NBC is doing on money made.
As for Gabby again, she should have mega coverage like Retton. The backstory, her confidence she could win over Jordyn... I am hoping for more stories about her. Phelps has had 4 Olympics, he did it all, we know. I want to see more about the event finalists in Gym left to happen. Gabby's back story is way more interesting and inspiring and I'd love to see reaction of little black girls. she wants to go to Rio and if she stays tiny...hey the 37 year old and the comeback of Catalina Ponor..who is so beautiful, a woman in gymnastics is so rare. Aly has a powewrful FX and beam, so I am hoping for a major medal for her-FX seems better to me...she is a powerhouse. Jordyn as WC has got to bring home an individual medal from London. Let us hope for her. I think she has beam and FX? My Komova lost it by hitting the beam but she is like a gazelle. And the Chinese gal did so well on the bars so far. Uneven is going on.
