Hunting The Muse

Olympic Gymnastics

I watched the team finals of women's gymnastics tonight. The announcers are bugging me - they talked a lot about the mistakes that the U.S. made as if it was the only explanation for the U.S. not winning, and that basically overshadowed what was a dominating performance by the Romanians. They won by seven tenths of a point, which seemed to be a pretty large margin. If Patterson hadn't have messed up on the uneven bars, and Kupets hadn't missed that combination on the floors, they still would have been behind, and those were the two big mistakes of the night.
