I'm really hoping for an individual medal for the US gymnasts (espically Aly).
Once again I will be checking for results online late in the day.

Good Luck to all and No Falls Please!
 
What a crazy ride it's been. I feel so badly for the way everything turned out for Jordyn. She got the team gold and was a huge reason we won it, but individual sure is nice. I can't help but think back to one of my very favorites, Kim Zmeskal. I think these girls have so much pressure on them going into the games that it makes them just crack. It's a whole lot easier sometimes to be the underdog.
 
One thing this Olympics really hit home for me is that even the most talented, or hardest working gymnasts can have bad days, lose their concentration, be too exhausted mentally/physically to perform well.

I was not expecting the Jordyn AA miss and even on floor...

I was not execting Gabby to have nothing left for the event finals...

I love these girls, and am so proud of them. They are an inspiration for their hard work, good sportsmanship and lovely demeanor. I guess the ups and downs for them simply mirror life and show us how to stand tall no matter what.
