Wow, I think I nearly gave myself an ulcer last night watching the Women's all around gymnastics finals. Yeah, I get too involved in some things and then I stress myself out even though I'm not the one doing the stressful event. But it was awesome! It was very tight up until the last rotation, and I really didn't think Shawn Johnson and Nastia Luikin were even going to place. The judges were acting, for lack of a better word, crazy. The commentators in America were actually talking about how the scores for the two girls were inappropriately low for their performances (and not because they were American themselves =P). They were scoring the other teams accurately, it just seemed they deducted more from the American girls? Well, I won't argue with the judges as I know nothing about gymnastics routines, but through it all the two girls, who were pretty much downhearted due to the Women's gymnastic team finals, did so well they won Gold and Silver. They were crying and I was getting meepish and it was just a happy moment =P.
I'm also happy for Thailand for getting a medal in women's weightlifting since I have bunch of friends from that country =).
And Mongolia got their first gold medal =) (in judo). I love it when athletes who are up against dominating athletes come out on top and win a medal for their country, even when no one really thought it was possible. It makes it that much sweeter for them.
And of course Phelps won another gold medal yesterday. Good job!
