I was watching that too. Alicia Sacramone fell twice. I think the first time she fell, it really bummed her out. So she was too upset to perform the floor exercise with a clear head. But they did get the Silver. Which is still a great accomplishment. The Chinese really did well. But they just seemed so small and not really 16 years at all. I think the average Chinese woman are smaller in size the average American. But these are Olympic athletes. They would have the best diet and health care to ensure they grow. Just look at the muscles on the Americans vs the Chinese.
The men's gymnast team was very happy to get Bronze medals. The Chinese won the gold in those also.
