ASac was a huge component of the loss. I don't agree with bashing her. But I don't agree with avoiding discussing how much we lost from having her do two out of three misses.
I agree with NewNewNastiaFan when he said it wasn't Alicia Sacramones fault that the US got silver... The US should be proud of silver, due to the amount of injuries they have sustained over the past year, with two of those injuries occuring within the past week...
However, the Chinese team outclassed the US on the day, and whilst the loss wasn't totally Alicia's fault, she did contribute...
NB: Lauren Mitchell's BB routine in the TF was AWESOME!!! I scored her higher than a 15.550...
I don't blame Sac for the team's loss, I knew since China started upgrading like crazy that the US would have to be near perfect and more. I have to say, though, he mistakes kind of messed with the team's morale. I wanted to see the Americans put it all out there and be happy with whatever they got, gold or silver. I hope Alicia pulls it together and whips out her Amanar in vault finals. I'd like Cheng to be first, Alicia second, and Hong Un Jong in third. Chuso would be nice, too, but unlikely.
Russia was really the better team, gymnast to gymnast against Romania, but they faltered and Romania hit, so congratulations. I still feel like crying. And then there's Kramarenko, who was out for redemption and she was Russia's steadiest member but the others messed up so badly. She actually nailed her vault in prelims and I thought she was going to cry, she looked so happy.
I can't wait to see Pavlova in the AA, I hope she can somehow pull out a bronze and all the Russians medal in EFs!
i really dont like how dianne bends her knees. also didnt she used to be dianne dos santos and now it seems its just dianne santos? i really hope nastia wins the all around :)

nbc didnt show crap.
who cares about live coverage! i want to see at least 4 teams!

I know! Even the Australian Coverage apparently showed (because i'm in Beijing right now) 2 Aussies! (Lauren Mitchell on BB, & Georgia Bonora on VT).
I suppose when you have two overwhelming favourites to go 1st & 2nd, it's what viewers wanna see I guess.
NB: Except for us!

I totally agree! And of all the Romanians to show they show Nistor. God, I hate NBC.
