Olympics Gymnastic rant

This rant will be kind of old, but I guess I’ll write it down on here anyway. So gymanstics really pissed me off this weekend.

For one reason, I thought Alicia Sacromone should have deserved the bronze medal for the vault. Her landing was so much better than Cheng Fei’s and she wasn’t the one that fell on her knees and hands for that one. I honestly thought that more points should have been deducted because of the landing, but nope. It just seems like the judges are favoring the Chinese, ugh. I wanted to cry Alicia, her heart just keeps getting broken and even more broken.

I was a bit upset that the Romanian girl won the floor routine over Shawn Johnson. I didn’t think the Romania’s routine was much, but whatever I guess. I’m not super mad about that.

The event that got me the angriest was over Nastia’s placement in the uneven bar finals versus China. THEIR SCORES WERE TIED! Honestly, I swear the judges are favoring the Chinese more because China made more obvious mistakes than Nastia did yet they got 0.01 point higher after the stupid tie-breaker thing they did that didn’t even make any sense whatsoever! They probably should’ve performed again or given them both gold medals.

It’s a bit ridiculous how most of China’s gold medals are from events that are judged by judges. Even though the judges are probably unbiased, you never know. Not trying to start a conspiracy here, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks this.

Update! :)

Cheers to another update! I’ve been too lazy to write blogs for everyday. So here’s life: eat, band, sleep, eat, Olympics, sleep. Maybe a few more ‘eat’ here and there, but you get the idea. Band is moving very fast, we’re already plotting and we have about 18 sets of the first movement done! Very tiring, but I’m just honestly happy that we’re at least moving somewhere. I have a ridiculous tan, it’s disgusting. The sunblock I’m using for my face apparently sucks because I’m having a bad issue of breakouts. Probably has to do with eating out so much too, but honestly, it’s bad.

I’ve been watching the Olympics every night too; beach volleyball, swimming, and gymnastics. Well I don’t know much about those events at all, but they’re all amazing to watching. I think I’ll list my favorites:

Beach volleyball: May-Treanor, Walsh, Dalhausser, Rogers
Swim: Phelps, Coughlin
Gymnastics: Johnson, Liukin

Yeah, okay. I honestly have nothing more interesting to write about.
