Poor, poor Alicia. Let down two Olympics in a row. She's such a sweetheart; it breaks my heart to see her cry like that.

Shawn Johnson is built like a tiny tank. I'm 6' and 180 lb but if I met her in a dark alley I'd still feel like I had to hand my wallet over.

People are saying that the Americans should be grateful and happy to have sliver but second place is not good enough if you KNOW you can get gold.sliver is hot enough because if you can achieve higher then what you have you should try your hardest! But I do feel bad for Alicia! It makes it seem she's the reason they didnt win but she's not! So shouldn't of felt to bad!:)

Shawn is such a trooper. Put them ahead when Alicia fell on beam. I wish people wouldn't blame Alicia that much; she probably felt like dying when she came off that floor. I'm glad she hasn't given up and she's still in elite proving that she can do it.

I just realized that Nastia doesn't do any back handsprings in her floor routine. She's quite a twister :)

I wish I could have hugged Alicia as soon as she got off floor...she did not need to shoulder the blame for the 2nd place - we lost on bars, pure and simple. The Chinese were too good, and had no mistakes. You know that A just felt like dying...

awkward moment when matt says 'well if someone goes out of that area...'

What is with everyone saying Chinese Gymnasts are under-aged? Sure, maybe they cheated in 2000, but that doesn't mean they cheated in this Olympics. The case against them was dropped as there was sufficient evidence that they were all of age. I'm a big fan of the USA team, but in the end, the Chinese gymnasts were the ones who gave the better performance on the day, and when they won the gold, they were met with huge speculation over their age and people saying they didn't deserve the gold.

whoo! go shawn johnson! she's amazing! love her! Whoo hoo! yeah!

China cheated disgracefully they won nothing.

[AshaMcGuiness]

c'mon, with the amount of battle the american's put up against china, with them being neck a neck, who wouldn't be disapointed that they all know they could've gotten gold if they hadn't of stepped out of bounds on they're floor. you shouldn't criticize them, they're at the olympic games! not many people get he chance to do that, to know you didn't do the best you did which is why you haven't got gold, who wouldn't be disapointed?

@TerynDoll So sad for Mattie Larson. She is really good on floor. Her tumbling is great and her dance is great. In my opinion, she is the best dancer in the USA team. She did make a big mistake but I think Marta can't say such words to hurt one's feeling. And what makes me angry is Marta said she will not choose Mattie Larson to go to London Olympics! Such a biased woman.
