Olympics
Anyone else nervous about the gymnastics men's team finals tonight? I just want our boys to do well, not hurt themselves and well...I'm really just hoping they don't hurt themselves.
And you know, I asked my dad what he thought about the new judging system, and he likes it. He said that it was really needed because it was just getting outdated and, I believe he was talking about the athletes, that they were working it to their advantage, or something.
I just wish it had been in practice for longer so it still wasn't getting worked out for the Olympics. It's been in play since 2005 apparently, nevermind.
I'm having a problem with the execution scores, though. There's such a difference sometimes. And it's hard to tell if there's a bias there or if the new scoring system makes it look like there's some bias in there. Of course, it's most likely because there are higher penalties now (for stuff like falls and hops on landings).
Beach volleyball is really fun to watch, you know? I'd really love to see May-Walsh defend their gold. And I'd like to see our men do well, too. It's just easier to cheer for the ones you know! And I don't know the men. They seem to be harder to catch on TV than the women.
