I think I saw someone from another country out of focus on the edge of screen during one of the US girl’s floor routines, but that’s about it.

I swear from this coverage you’d think the USA and China are the only teams competing.
Yeah, I understand they are going to focus on American athletes, I just didn’t quite anticipate how much.

Back in Australia we would definitely see far more actual EVENTS with Australians in them than without, but when they were on you’d get to see pretty much everyone who was competing.

There was one specific song that caught my attention. It was a melancholy - ethereal tune sung by a woman with an ethereal - celtic sounding voice. I think it was played during a balance beam performance.

Brian B asked:


For the other three events, two athletes from each country can qualify for the individual competition. But it seems that for vault, only one athlete from each country can qualify and they have to do two vaults during the qualification round instead of just one. Why does this event work differently than the other events?

Brian M asked:


Why do the Olympics do the all-around competition in gymnastics BEFORE they do the individual sections? It would stand to reason that they would do each apparatus, then do the all around competition last?

What’s wrong with having girls younger than 16 in the Olympic Gymnastics?

kitarra-chan asked:


I noticed a lot of people saying how it was cheating to have a younger person (In particular the Chinese), but why is it considered cheating? Shouldn’t the older people have a leg up over the younger for more training and experience? Just curious. It’s not like a **** over anything. And in the end, doesn’t all those hard stresses on the body really mess up how they will grow later?
