Lol once again. Gap between Simone and #2 is much bigger than the gap between #2 and last place.

Vault was the only gold of the three event finals Simone might have lost, so good on her for getting that..she should have no problem getting Beam and Floor.
The only question now is if Madison can win gold on bars and if Gabby can grab silver over Mustafina, and if Laurie can medal on Beam. Aly should have no problem getting silver in Floor.

Beam in never a lock for anyone. Anything can happen.

Flop isn't determined until scores come in.
Simone got 16 on her second vault? @_@
I would have seen it live but my mom is visiting and I had to take her somewhere. And on my way back (rushing home), got the update that she won gold. Just watched the replay and wow....she's just too good. It's almost unfair. Hopefully she can close out the rest of the events.

Alex isn't a lock on the podium yet. 2 scores out.

If Gabby comes in 4th.
Gabby will always have that 2012 AA Gold no matter what happens.

There are rumors that one the main reasons Gabby came back was for money reasons, which would explain alot.
McKayla choked away the silver at London so perhaps she should be more sympathetic.

The problem with this cycle is that once people have decided these things about you, everything you say and do becomes more evidence of your awfulness. Thanks for posting this.

Meh. I like rings, Petrounias was incredible.
They should let the women do rings. Would add a bit more variety to 3 tumbling events and the bars.
He was.
But what I don't like about rings is that nothing dramatic ever happens except when someone takes a step on the dismount. At least on pommels we get some funny falls lol.
It's a competition of main strength...would not be that interesting as a womans event

I say parallel bars is more suited for women to do
They also need to add balance beam and music to floor for the men as well
I think things will get interesting when they balance out apparatuses rather than being gear towards one criteria
The difference in strength between men and women is too huge in rings for it to be an interesting women's events. Even relatively simple movements like the iron cross (simple for elite male athletes, not for your average joe) would be an incredible obstacle for women.
I don't know, I just appreciate the strength a lot. I used to do some workouts using rings (which is something I want to take up again, if I only found the space) and seeing that stuff done effortlessly is amazing.
