***Official Olympics Discussion***

the really annoying thing is that they take 24 to the all around. And Weiber is easily top five, regardless of Raismann, and she won't be there.

Maybe not focus on the crying girl. We get the point.

[cyrevkah]

That has to be so very awkward! You want your team to do well, but you want to do the individual stuff too.

How many times does the reigning world champion not make the all-around finals?

[CycloneRulzzz]

get the app on iPhone...or nbcolympics.com or something like that streams everything free.

Yeah I have the cheapest phone you can possible have. No apps at all.

I wish they they had a channel 24/7 devoted to wm beach volleyball, the matches that are being televised are blase outside of the US teams.

an article I read earlier had a quote from the Karoyli's saying they couldn't remember the last time this happened.

I agree. Very tough to watch.

ugh, they keep showing Jordyn in the background of these interviews and it's just heartbreaking. That's got to be awful for her to sit in the background and here this.

[CycloneErik]

I guess Aly won the individual gold at Nationals in the balance beam and the floor exercise. That would make her a real threat for the all-around.

You could see her trying not to look over and compose herself. It has to be awful!

Stupid rule IMO...she will have a better score than a lot of gymnasts that make the final. Why should she be penalized for being on a great team. Take the best overall scores regardless of the team...the all around is about the individual competitor and should have nothing to do with what team she is on. Really unfortunate and dumb.

I know, she's trying not to look but you know darn well she's hearing every word. And of course she has to be happy for her teammates, but everyone knows Aly wasn't expected to make it to the all-around,so she would have just been disappointed or shrugged it off. This just devastating for Jordyn.

Really makes you wonder if they'll change that two person rule. Pretty weird to let someone like France let through two mediocre athletes and USA has to drop a great athlete.

What a stupid rule...

absolutely agree!

what a classy girl, though in that interview. Classy, classy girl.

[CycloneRulzzz]

Very classy interview, it's like Lolo last year although Lolo gets another chance but Jordan most likely won't.
