China were an awesome team who deserved to win, the showmanship and team spirit, not to mention the determination of every member was awesome. they worked for that gold with everyfibre of their bean...WELL DONE CHINA. Team USA could learn alot from you...

I like how Cheng Fei who had the same mistake as Sacramone was able to hold her temper after her fall. She did not throw a tantrum like Sacramone and looked pleasent in her floor routine. She let it lift her up in determination to do better unlike Alicia who let it bring her down and look unhappy during her floor routine. Maybe if she didn't act like a baby after making her mistakes here and at worlds floor final, people from countries besides America would feel bad for her.

@meeshacm Yes a awesome team who allegedly used underage gymnast's. The US learned that playing by the rules gets you gold and silver in the individual all around on the host country's home floor. And that you need 3 good gymnasts and not 2 great ones and one that sucked under pressure to win the team tittle. But none of that was learned from the Chinese who run a gymnast breeding program not one where the athlete chooses on their own to strive for improvement to the Olympic level.

@blokflip13 I just totally agree with u. I'm so happy to see that Chinese gymnastics chose their traditional music on floor and their performance were so contagious. I kind of understand sacramone under that situation, but anyway, it's a team work.She should learn something from Cheng Fei to be a mature competitor.

Obviously you're not friends with many asians.

Does a number really matter when China so obviously whooped our asses? They didn't just execute precise tumbles and flips, they put on a show. They produced art, and that is difficult to do considering gymnastics is a sport based a thousands of technicalities.

I don't see what was unfair before.

What is Sandra saying to Ksenia? Do they even speak a common language?

@blokflip13 To be fair Cheng went in knowing her team had a huge lead while Alicia went in while USA was a whole point behing.

The song matched the choreography and Jian's physique seamlessly. And her smiles were so uplifting;

Now if the Chinese would've used people who were actually the legal age to compete, I would've had more respect for them.
