Prelims

Okay I was pretty happy how the women ended. I mean get all your mistakes out now, but I was really sad to hear that Alicia will not be going for the gold on floor, but I am thrilled for Nastia. I mean she fell and I was soo scared that she would not make it into event finals but she ended up going!
Anyway like Bela said, it takes some pressure off of USA and puts it on China since they came in first. And USA is used to the 3 up 3 count. So I think we will do fine, though China did win by about a point. And in major deducations we are about the same. I mean...

USA
Shawn did a brani instead of her Rudi - lost .2
Nastia fell on Double Salto 1/2 - lost .8
Bridget stepped out of bounce - lost .3
Alicia landed out of bounce - lost .5
Total - 1.8

China
Yuyang fell on 5/2 Yurchanko - lost .8
He Kexin fell on Pak Salto - lost .8
Total - 1.6

So even if they didn't make those mistakes China would have won by about 1.0, but I think we can pull it out especially because of the 3 up 3 count. And really if you think about it we come home with either a Gold or a Silver
