Watching this with my wife last night..

This girl looks like a total bitch and they were talking about it on sports radio this morning. The host said she looks like a girl will end up making bad decisions. His guess is she will not return to the Olympics in four years. Not because of her attitude, but because she will be taking care of a 3 and a half year old baby. haha

Wieber was the girl that was the last World Champion but didn't qualify for the all around.

That is Maroney who is considered the best in the world at Vault.

Despite them winning team gold, it would be correct in stating they are both disappointed in their individual performances.

You choked and fell on your ass. No gold for you.
We all know you are disappointed. Smile and except it.

She could be on my team any day. Girl wants to be a winner and doesn't settle for second place.

She's 17. She was the favorite for the gold.

I can't believe how much grief she has caught for her public display of disappointment.

I know plenty of "adults" who behave much worse with MUCH less on the line.

I don't think there is anything wrong with her display of disappointment. All part of the Olympics/sports.

How is that part of the Olympics. I dont mind her displaying her disappointment after she fell on her ass but when you are on the poduim recieving your metal in front of the world. Its poor sportsmanship. Except the metal with class. Not like some spoiled brat.
