These clips just make me so mad... If they had done it RATIONALLY and not numerically, it 's obvious that Elyse should have taken her coach to the Olympics, and Kristina should have been at the Olympics and not Nansy. There was no hope in the world that Nansy would make any EFs. Vault is supposed to be a specialty... with a front tuck and a 1.5? At least Elyse made the AA and had a decent chance at top 10, and international judges like Kristina for her form. ERGH ERGH ERGH. Sooo angry.
@HeatherIbbetson True, Canada needs to set higher goals The scores they expect of their gymnasts here would get them nothing in a major comp(Worlds or Olympics)
@HeatherIbbetson its true that Shewfelt is no longer in competition. you are correct that they need to step up their difficulty if they want to get to the podium
Damn it GMackie should have stuck around. Id love to see her in another olympics. She could represent canada well with her style. Its sad to see something like daminova represent canadian gymnastics. Elyse is the bomb though. Shes so mature and I wish she would have done better in bejing.
Why send Damianova??!! She was horrible at the Olympics, krstina could have made AA.

Canada needs someone that is at the same difficulty level as the Usa and China, or Canada will always be behind

I'm disgusted that they won't send both coaches! This is ridiculous!

this is ridiculous. 14.5 won't get Nansy to the floor final.

Thanks for posting this. I missed it on TV, but was glad to see it here. CBC really played up the drama!!! Made it oh so exciting to watch.

i would have preferred to see more of the actual competition, though, or at least entire routines rather than short bits.
