What happened to China in gymnastics? Did they start checking birth certificates or something?

Roughly yeah.

I'll admid I was rooting for Aly Raisman, the announcers were so blatantly rooting for Douglas, I had to cheer for the underdog.

I was a track guy. I still get uber nervous when I watch Track and Field, especially the sprints. I imagine it's the same.

That pretty much is exactly what they started doing.

And there is the younger girl that beat both of them in the US competition. She might be our second best all around women's gymnast.

'Hamas' Jenkins 08-07-2016 10:00 PM

Douglas finishes qualifying in 3rd overall, but doesn't get in b/c she's third in her country. That is a really stupid rule. The 21st-24th qualifiers from aren't going to contend for a medal.

Held getting emotional during the anthem was nice, too.

This is hilarious. By law, all large pools in Brazil must have lifeguards. So, there are a couple lifeguards carefully watching while the greatest swimmers in the world compete in the olympics.
