It’s just a disaster. And the Russians had two meltdowns on beam but Americans were underscored on that apparatus so it didn’t really matter. So much corruption. So much media nonsense. The Olympics aren’t fun anymore.

Intentionally throwing the game because she hates the US?

Yeah, schadenfreude for NBC.
They and the rest of the media have been hyping her for 5+ years now, “the GOAT”, etc. She’s good but all the gushing is overdone, gee wonder why?

One of her teammates got a shockingly low score in an event, the balance beam I think.
Even the commentators noticed it - makes one suspicious the judges are determined to push the designated favorites. Maybe a bit of guilt started sinking in.

Maybe she’s pregnant.

I celebrated madly when “The miracle on ice” happened back in 1980. But this time around, I want the US to get whacked in the games. I’d like our medal count to be below that of some place like the Philippines.

To hell with all this woke BS.

To quote my father:

Some days you gets the bear
Some days the bear gets you
Most days you just gets
Bear hair all over you.

She's 24. I think the pressure got to her.

NBC has been crowning her the "GOAT" and she over-compensated.

She was over-powering her routines in an attempt to meet the expectations.

On her qualifying floor exercise, she went so high and so fast that the momentum flew her off of the floor mat.

On her first qualifying vault, she hit the springboard right at the end instead of the middle, and it threw off the balance of the rest of the vault.

I didn't see this morning's event so I can't comment on today, but it looks to me that she let the pressure get the better of her.
