why do they sound like Yang Wei only won because other ppl fell/the games was held in his home country?
hell ,he beat kohei uchimura! and Yang has won countless AA gold medals over the years (notwithstanding silver in 2000 Olympics) - this is a testimony to his abilities, powers and legacies, not because 'it wasn't a great competition at all'!

Not messing up is part of top competition -- i.e., performing your best under pressure when it counts the most...
-
Poor Tomita, they mention only his mistake and they even mix him up with teammate uchimura on picture =(

i like how they got a picture of kohei uchimura when she says hiroyuki tomita

i think able to keep your standard is more difficult than trying to bring yourself to a higher level. Hence, I think Yang Wei won pretty worthily. The stars weren't able to keep their standards, and that's why they lost.

why does the female reporter make it sound like Yang Wei only won because it was help in China? He's worked his whole life for all around gold

true. in most top level competitions, especially those that are judged, most individuals have the ability to rank, its just the ones that execute correctly that do.

Haha AP 1:15 is Uchimura not Tomita...I still remember his absolutely frightening tumble off the rings, though.
Bart is pretty right on with his commentary.

any competition is about "who dosn't mess up" in any performance sport. It's sad, but it's true.

This year's olympic was the best! I had great memories watching it.

He worked his ass off for his medal and deserved all the cheers he received. He was much more reserved than the other athletes were when being praised. Getting that gold medal seemed like a trigger that let him relax. He doesn't seem arrogant at all.

I've always been upset with the way the NBC network does its coverage of the Olympics... they need to make it more of the WORLD Olympics and not just USA teams and such.. show us all the top 10 performances good or bad.. they are the top 10! also show the FULL opening of the Olympics if there is any skin showing in the people doing the show they cut it out ... so sad.. censorship alive and well in NBC TV! and USA TV stinks....
