i'm so happy that she won. she was outstanding. and what's best she didnt have to wait for someone to make major errors, but she won because she was delivering the most maginificent performance. i adore this girl!
Gosh yes. I love that this competition was won by the athlete who hit best on the day and was not an awful 'whoever falls the least' meet.
I think it's incredible and the mark of how fantastic she is that she's mantained the quality of her gymnastics since her international debut in 2005. I hope she sticks around for a year more at least; she's destined to become one of the great legends of this sport.
Everything she does is so GORGEOUS. Talk about grace.
So, question: I was on a boat in the middle of nowhere when the women's AA were on. I've seen all of Nastia's stuff and the last 20 minutes of the whole thing or so; is there anything in particular I need to see that was unmissable?
I'd say just about every routine from the lead group - the Chinese, Russians and Americans - was worth watching, because they were a beautiful bunch of gymnasts - except for Johnson, who's a great kid, but her utter lack of dance ability and artistry bores me.
But mostly, what I'd really recommend is that you watch the whole meet because it really was one of the best Olympic AAs in quite a while, so you can download it here if you'd like! Take some of what the male commentators say with a pinch of salt though. They occasionally say pretty silly things, but they're better than the idiots at NBC.

And I agree re: Shawn Johnson. It's like anything other than tumbling is an afterthought to her. Blah.
