why did she say johnson deserved it more.? i feel like thats unfair to say... Liukin trains longer and has given up more in her life for gymnastics than shawn and she battles throught ankle injured can came all the way back

[GoshsDarling]

No hate here. I could never stand watching Khorkina, so painful. And I've never understood the hype about her, or the comparisons to Nastia. If I were Nastia I'd be insulted...

Let's see how much hate I get :)

@allyssabeird It's to distract the U.S. gymnasts. They know Martha starves them and it reminds them of delicious marbled red velvet cake. Alicia Sacramone was constantly drooling during the last Olympics and fell twice.

I wonder if China will ever stop using marbled velvet leotards

@concreto20 i think judges just felt sorry for her and her bony ass. : P

[concreto20]

@skycub99for the world and the history of the sport, Khorkina is the best gymnast of the last 20 years. sorry fans USA.

@ShawnVikaKomova2012 Have you seen her vault or her bars?! She points her toes like crazy. Yes, maybe the twisting legs crossed and double fronts are not the best. But that is a small area compared to her stunning form everywhere else. There is no way she could be Olympic champion with "the worst legs in history". Not possible.

I kinda like these commentators a little more than NBC... for the most part they focus on the positive and tell what they did right and not focus on all the little things the gymnast does wrong (:

[cgc9ssong]

@NlovewithNaley I know right? The judges are kind of mean…

[BitchesLoveHardstyle]

Looking at all the girls from the different countries is so odd, probably because of the stark contrast the Chinese gymnasts provide against competitors such as Johnson... it's like they're almost alien; not just in their questionably pre-pubescent physical appearance but their demeanor.

Someone means business.

I love Ariella Kaeslin's Music in the background during Nastia's vault. I think it matches the vault and the replay perfectly. :)
