Then in the team final one fall and it just started causing bad momentum for the team. First Sam fell on exercise. Then two falls on pommel horse, and a mess up on vault, U.S finished in 5th. The question was what happened to them after day one? Jonathon Horton then stated how they're young, but they'll get there.

Olympics Qualification for Women's Gymnastics & Two Per Country Rule

Image
I won't deny it I'm a big fan of gymnastics, I used to do it when I was little but too many threatening injuries and I had to stop. I love to watch the Olympics, the only sport I watch during the Olympics is gymnastics. The Women's Gymnastics team of the U.S.A. finished first in qualification and then something happened that the Americans didn't like and were demanding rule changes. The same happens every year in the Olympics, something happens and then because of the rules they automatically demand a rule change. So what happened that caused this sudden outcry from Americans was simple. The International Federation of Gymnastics (FIG) has a rule stating that only two gymnast per country can compete in Event finals and in the All-Around. 2011 World Champion Jordyn Wieber of the U.S. missed out due to mistakes on balance beam during qualification, and deductions from stepping our of bounds on floor exercise. Her other two teammates Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman performed...
