[jamesbug2002]

because of her start values..that's why she got first place..she was only out of bounds on her first vault..on her second vault, she landed inside the two lines which is what the judges will look at..her putting her left foot on the line was not considered as stepping out. her wobbling was considered though...

Pavlova merecía el oro, que pena que no esperara a la luz verde.

@1985luismanuel Where have you read this? 

[jamesbug2002]

@1985luismanuel wait..why?

[ShawnVikaKomova2012]

@1985luismanuel Seriously? 3? Where'd you hear that!?!?! That's incredible! Apparently Paseka can too! That stinks how she can't compete it till a world cup event in 2012 after London! I hope she doesn't retire.

Hong Un Jong and Cheng Fei are both amazing, way better than Sacramone!

[1985luismanuel]

She is capable to perform a Yourchenko with 3 TWISTS now!

How ever North Kores has banned to participate in international events after Olympics in 2012, it's a shame!!!

Gymnastic is always a hard job. It requires a lot of practice. Did you see any gymnastics that "easily" win a medal?

No matter what job you do, you need to work hard. A pianist also practice all day long except eating and sleeping when he or she is young. That's the same thing. That's totally unrelated to which country they are from.

@ellovestumbling332 Well kids in non-communist countries may be forced as well, not by their countries, but by their parents. When their parents see they have the talent, they may force them to do gymnastics and try to gain money and popularity from that. At a young age, they can do nothing about that, or gymnasts will not cry in trainings. There are always sacrifices in sports especially gymnastics. Kids just won't show their unhappy faces cuz they have been trained to face the media.

@ellovestumbling332 Your fucking nuts.

[ellovestumbling332]

@yellowbanana104 - Name one country that isn't a communist country that forces some kids to do gymnastics. Friends are not the same as family is. Kids who do gymnastics should be happy that they are doing what they always wanted to do but chinese gymnasts are again i say forced into something that they don't want to do at such a young age.

@ellovestumbling332 Well I believe gymnasts from many countries are trained away from their families when they were young, but they have made good friends in the team, though they miss there families. You have missed out all the laughters and funs they have in their teams. Only young kids trained with tears, but when they get older, they understand what they are doing. I think they look robotic because they do not have much classical dance trainings.
