I knew the results beforehand but was so happy NBC actually aired men's gymnastics for once. Those Brazilian gymnasts were awesome and their emotion was contagious.

I am really not ok with the idea of my (very hypothetical) Olympic medial ceremony being hijacked by a wedding proposal. Thumbs down to the male Chinese diver who did that for the 3 meter springboard silver medalist.

Well crap. And she just made some errors I her uneven bars routine.
She seemed unhappy during the team and obviously during the all around, but maybe she was just pissed bc the rule is unfair about how only two per team get to compete.
I've been meaning to ask about Gabby Douglas - she seems so grumpy this Olympics. Is it just me?
I think Gabby just isn't the bubbly sweetheart the media wants her to be and that, for some dumb reason, makes people mad.
I also think people like drama and (back to sexism again) it's hard to believe 4 (5?) girls could be competing against each other and get along. The most likely drama would be between the previous Olympic champion and the new one.

This all goes back to 2012 and NBC expecting Jordan Weiber to be the darling and refusing to pivot. They've set her up as the villain from the beginning.
Her lipstick is fierce and she fought hard for that routine last night.
I'm so glad they showed men's floor on primetime, I was going to tell everyone to go back and watch. The guy on the floor was the best.
