I'm glad Shannon finally got her individual gold!!

I still CANNOT get over Gina Gogean's Bronze here. Dina was robbed! And my god, I wish Kui and Mo had made it into beam finals. They would have really challenged Shannon for the gold! But when you botch your sets in qualifying, all the difficulty in the world won't help you make it to the Event Final.

@yngtxtopbear Beam finals was a mess in many ways.  China not having 2 out of Xuan, Mo, or Kui in the final (max 2 per country). Dawes also out of finals due to the U.S depth. Marinescu, Moceanu, and Galieva all bigtime contenders falling. Lilia and Dina not having their best routines, especialy Dina. Gina given a gift for her boring and no risk routine, even Teslenko was better IMO. It was nice Shannon won with a great routine but the whole final was kind of blah.
