Gaby Douglas gets screwed out of a chance for a medal because only 2 from one country are allowed to advance to the final. She was third overall, top 3 all Americans, and she’s out.

Unfair!!!! Attica!!!! Attica!!!!!

The 2 two per country rule is affirmative action for less competitive teams. If a country is good enough to sweep the medal podium, good for them.
