medal ceremony Nastia and Shawn

Wow I found this while watching the AA Olympic medal ceremony. It is interesting see to something that isn't so obivous at normal speed. it is kind of hard to watch. But understandable. Their is only one gold medal every four years. And that hurts but that is what makes it so special to

wow. the way shawn stares at nastia's medal, then settles for her silver and forces a smile, speaks volume. kudos to her for not being negative (at least in public) and pretending not to be too disappointed. that's sportsmanship for you.

Nastia is my favorite gymnast, but this WAS her time. It was her last chance, since she was too young to make the team in 2004.

Shawn's going to try for 2012, and who knows? Maybe she'll get finally get gold!

But this was Nastia's moment.

After 2007, and being overshadowed by Shawn for so long, she deserved this!

SHAWN DESERVED THAT GOLD NOT NASTIA!

@Ineedthat06 nastia's bar routine wasn't over-scored. her start value was huge, and so regardless of how big of a step she took on the dismount (it was only .3 anyway) she was always going to get a huge bar score no matter what. shawn wasn't underscored on anything, she was extremely over-scored in EVERY competition in the U.S. and it made it seem like she was underscored during the olympics, when in fact the international judges were just better and more fair than U.S. ones.

@Ineedthat06 at olympics... thats losing

@Ineedthat06 Shawn wasn't underscored on bars and Nastia wasn't overscored. She just made tiny tiny tiny mistakes that added up through the competition like her vault, close catches on bars, and wobbles on beam.

I do think Nastia was wayyy overscored on her uneven bars, especially with that huge step. Nastia has done better bars routines and it still was never that high, even with a stuck dismount... and Shawn was underscored on bars, and thats how she lost the title

@GladiolusPrincess Shawn didnt lose, she won a silver
