Bad luck Americans...so suck it up!

I am so irritated these days when watching women's gymnastics.

All the Americans do is complain, blame and criticize about almost anything and everything possible. In particular I mean the coaches, the commentators and also the husband of the head coach - Bela Karolyi (Romanian coach who trained Nadia Comaneci). He is acting as the NBC correspondence at every gymnastic match. Oh my...he is getting on my nerves!

Firstly Bela keep insisting that the China women gymnasts are younger than the 16 years old requirement. He keeps stirring it up, accusing China of "dirty cheating" for fielding gymnasts he believes to be underage in the Beijing Games. "Are we stupid or what?" Karolyi said in an interview yesterday after watching China's female gymnasts perform at the National Indoor Stadium. "They are obviously kids -- 12 or 14 [years old], max -- and you're telling the world they are 16? What arrogance!"

Next when China won gold on overall team and USA came in second. Oh my.....how bitter they were!! Martha Karolyi (see the connections), the U.S. team coordinator, claimed the stalling tactics by officials were deliberate, when one of the American gymnast waited a bit longer for her turn on the balance beam. When she finally was allowed to begin her routine, her concentration appeared to be broken and she fell on her mount. She fell again on the floor exercise. Officials said the delay was related to the needs of Beijing Olympic Broadcasting, which is showing the Games in much of the world.

Then there was the individual vault. China's Cheng Fei landed on her knees on her 2nd vault. However her average scores were 0.025 higher than American's Alicia Sacramone average points. That gave China the bronze medal on the vault booting out the American on the fourth.
This time they lashed out at the judges calling them not experienced as the judges from these countries don't even produce any great gymnasts, “That’s wrong. Very wrong,” fumed legendary coach Bela Karolyi, whose wife, Martha, is now the coordinator of the U.S. team. “It’s the wrong example of judging at the Olympic Games. … That is just a slap in the face of everyone. There’s no excuse.”

Then it was the tiebreaker in the parallel bars event. With a gold medal at stake, American Nastia Liukin and China's He Kexin, received identical scores for their exceedingly difficult routines. Under some complicated tiebreaker system, China was awarded the gold. Even though it was complicated for everyone but I am sure that these are the rules set and standard by the ruling committee before the Olympics itself. So, stop b*tching about how unfair that China was awarded the gold.

They only complain when they do not get Gold or more so when China gets gold....... ohhhh!! just stop whining and enjoy the games.
