@TheCouchGymnast Vericel might have been scared of Sacromone too. I know I would have been.

Jiang Yuyuan's exercise was better than Cassy's. She should have taken bronze!!
-
@Illja3 She was probablly more upset about the pass that she underroatated..considering that's what cost her the gold...I agree she should've congratulated her...
-
@chricz949 i think we can all understand being incredibly disappointed and teary, but snubbing her own teammate and making her feel bad about being better than her is not fair play. that's not the sort of attitude you come to expect from a world class athlete.

@emmyjo720 really? would you say cheng fei is gracious in defeat? i wouldn't. sacramone behaving like a brat doesn't reflect on every single one of her countrymen (and no, i am not an american, it just annoys me wen people like you generalise)
-
cassie vericel had some really, really good tumbling but she definitely is a product of the robotic, non-artistic class of gymnasts who can't dance to save their lives (shawn johnson, i'm looking at you)

@thailily Yeah it's kinda sad. Shawn looks almost scared at how Alicia is going to react! Very bad sportmenship that Alicia didn't congratulate the others!
-
Oh poor Shawn flanked by two frowning ladies on that podium! Not sure why Vericel couldn't crack a smile, but Alicia Sacramone... she should know enough to know that even if she was disappointed, showing it like that would come off as terrible sportsmanship. Very uncool.
alicia needs to get over herself because there are are 6 other girls that would loooooooooove to have that silver.

I think Alicia really acted like a little baby here.. No matter how disappointed you are, you must be adult enough to at least congratulate your teammate.. Everybody's always congratulating and being happy for each other.. I'm sure Shawn would've congratulated her if she would've won.. She wouldn't be so mean..
