She also was the weakest link for Team USA in the Team Competition. Too bad she ended up with a gold medal for that.

She failed mightily in the Team competition as well. The men part of the team bailed her out and she was awarded a gold medal, did earn it. Fàil on

From the excerpt:
“...she landed a double loop instead of a triple...”
“...The 26-year-old was just one of two skaters on the day
to land a triple axel...”

It’s a good thing she didn’t go to the straight Olympics. This is the gay Olympics, right?
