I wonder if someone left his wallet in an undesirable place and needed cover, like members of the U. S. basketball team accidentally finding themselves in a brothel. That is the only scenario that comes close to making sense if these four lied about something like this. At this point I hope they were robbed, as strange a wish as that is.

Is Ashton claiming Gabby's final bar performance meant she should have been chosen instead? Maybe I don't understand her tweet. I hope I don't.

She calls her surgeon her MVP.
Listening to the Brazilian fans boo some of the athletes and loudly cheer their mistakes during their performances has soured me on the place. I find myself now rooting against their team members. Hope Brazil doesn't take gold here.

Thanks for the clarification, zanzibar. Still a very cool thing I hadn't seen before. Usain talking about defending his gold? Easy to get confused which Olympics. I should have checked the date.

Have you seen the video of Bolt being interviewed? He heard the US National anthem start in the background and stopped the interview so that they could show their respect. I love this man!

Sanne's routine was beautiful, and I loved the pirouette series, but I thought Laurie's beam was clearly better. Not really all that close to me.

Thanks, Growsonwalls, I totally agree with those points. Gabby deserved better than she got this Olympics. I am glad she is feeling the love now.

When I saw Bela onscreen, he looked thin and not focused, but someone said something to him and he started to smile as the camera pulled away. I am hoping they caught him at a pensive moment. I thought someone said earlier in an interview that he is happy on the ranch with his chickens and retired from gymnastics.
An earlier poster said something about Martha's mistakes in choosing the team. Did I misread the post, or could they explain the mistake? Because I don't see a wrong choice regarding this Olympics and these five.

The divers deserved better than this. All their years of hard work for this? They deserved better than a green swamp and lame excuses.

Sam is a douche, but crappy crowd cheering each mistake during his routine. Badly done, Brazil. Badly done. Thanks goodness it happened to Sam rather than to someone nice.

Totally understand, tessaray. I feel the same way; not enthused, but intrigued enough to stick around I guess.

xaxat, I laughed hard when I saw that commercial. Had to explain to the family just why it was so funny!

Kassidy and Abby both advanced today! Way to go, girls!

Hubby wants Katie to be the only person swimming the freestyle relay race for the U.S. just to give the other swimmers a chance. I think she would still take gold! Amazing!

I always liked Chris Everett's answer when asked about going out on top: "I won't know what top is until after I start going down." Gabby can still clearly compete, even if she isn't considered the best anymore.

Regarding whether Michael is arrogant, all I know is that I have a friend whose son swam competitively for awhile. Phelps came to a meet; it was probably after his second Olympics. My friend's son said that he was uncomfortable with the crowd, but was very nice to them in the back area. After the races he saw the kids playing video games and asked to join in. Huge age gap between Phelps and the swimmers, but apparently love of video games knows no age. Anyway, he came away thinking Michael was quiet, but nice.

I got nostalgic and watched Olga's bar routine again from 1972. For all the dramatic acrobatics shown tonight, Olga's routine is still my favorite because she so seamlessly wove between both bars. I hate how today's women pretend the lower bar doesn't exist. I never warmed up to Nadia and still cannot forgive her for bringing the cowboy tuck to the women.

My app shut down during Rebecca's routine, but otherwise ran fine. I was able to get it back befor Aly started. Whew!
-
Did they pick their shoes to match the medal ribbons?
-
I especially loved Simone's middle pass when she turns to start it. I really dislike when they stand in the corner forever before running.
Way to go, Simone and Aly! Well deserved!

I never want someone to get hurt, but if you need your coach to stand beside you for every trick, you shouldn't be doing them.

Rio Scandals: Is It Ready, Will The Place Kill You & More!
in 2016 Olympics
If this story as we now know it holds up as correct, then I am not just angry as a fellow US citizen, but as a fellow human being on this planet. You screw up and every time you are given an opportunity to come clean, you choose not to. You cause untold harm to a place that has invited you to be there, to a country that has given you the honor of representing it, to true victims who now find it that much harder to be believed when they report a crime, and to friends and others whose trust you betrayed. You had so many chances to make the right choice, and yet you continued to make the wrong ones. That is called "character," my friend, and all the Olympic medals in the world cannot make up for its absence.
