I voted 'no' because I'm not from the US. But -- who won? Were they any good?

Maria, China won, and yes, they were good. It's okay. I know there are people from all over. I just wanted the US to win.

alicia sacramone is past her peak. end of story.

Billy, that sounds about right. I'm terrible with names and needed a reminder as to what her name was, but she definitely is past her prime as you said. Gymnasts don't have long careers, and that's because it takes a heavy toll on the human body.

Yeah, Sacramone was definitely out of her depth. I was just a bit (read 'a lot') frustrated at the annoying announcer constantly saying that the Chinese competitors were underaged. They certainly looked it, but if the officials weren't able to figure out then it's their own fault. Perhaps this very confusing situation will promote caution.

Did you see the Chinese floor exercise routines? Damn. They put Shawn Johnson to shame .

Sacramone isn't past her prime, she had one of the hardest beam routines and one can easily become rattled from time to time. I have faith in her, she's one of the top three gymnasts in the United States, can't give up on her.
