A youtuber called vaguy06 has posted the entire US compulsory competition. Go and watch it! You'll see the lack of 10's and also that they REALLY struggled on beam. :-D

Jaycie Phelps got a 9.712 on bars compulsories you stupid little shit. Go and get some evidence before you start telling everyone you are right and stop pretending you are 27 when you are 11.

If you want to pretend you're an adult expect to be treated and spoken to like one.

@yngtxtopbear 4th at its best and their top AA girl is inconsistent....their best bet is Sui Lu on beam.

@VivianTori Most of the Chinese, Romanian and former Soviet athletes don't wear grips at all, certainly not the traditional leather grips. It's more of a Western thing. Sometimes you'll see those girls wearing a makeshift grip out of gauze, like Lilia Podkopayeva did. But it just depends. Ma Yanhong wore grips and she competed in the 70's and 80's. Liu Xuan wore a grip on one hand when she was doing the one arm giant swings and releases.

@Smielyb2000 i think we'll have a better sense of the quality of the chinese team after 2011 worlds. chinese girls seem to be very intimidated during their first few international competitions (last year's worlds and pacific rim performances make me really nervous). at this point i'm honestly not sure that i see any real 2012 medal contenders beyond he kexin since the level of competition grows so high compared to non-olympic years.

Why arent they wearing grips?

Even with that huge mistake this routine is still better than Lavinia Milo's 9.850 travesty on bars!

@mydogwearsacape your entire post makes my heart hurt. Whats funny is every other four years they screw up. 92 great 96 WTF 2000 well regardless of everything they were awesome, 2004 retarded, 2008 AMAZING well besides Cheng and Li not winning. I hope the cycle stops for 2012 cause I really feel they have a good team to challenge the now back in power Russians.

I can't find Jaycie Phelps compulsory bars, anyone have it?

@HJA1982 Just because you don't like US gymnasts you don't have to be nasty about it. I know i am upset mo made the mistake to but let's not take it out on other people ok? And some of their gymnasts had the best compulsory floor sets (besides Lilia) And they got higher scores then most athletes on beam (Shannon Miller) So i wouldnt be going around bashing the american's when they won.

@HJA1982 Lol..that is so true on here..the # of kids w/ no clue posting 8th grade comments..

Well with this compulsary UB set, you cast to handstand then do a half turn over the bar then do the transitions. She did not get enough momentum to get over the bar for her handstand and just went down and collapsed her knees and body and had some empty swings.

Mo could have WON UB and BB these games had she just hit the routines.

Its like 14 years later and I am still bummed out about it. And Poor Kui and Xian as well! sigh...
