US gymnast Jonathan Horton just NAILED the holy heck out of his high bar routine — and the huge triple-twist landing.
I don’t think I can take being so continually gobsmacked by these Olympics.
Oh, man! The next guy — Justin Spring — did too! What the HECK is going on?? We’re supposed to be underdogs here in the team competition, I believe. We’re not acting like it.
Wow. Spectacular. Breathtaking. I literally could not breathe while they were doing what they were doing.
That is all.
Carry on.
Jonathan Horton was such a firecracker, wasn’t he? And Justin Spring was *flying*. I loved how the team members were really supportive of each other. They did great.
Jonathan Horton is now my gymnastics crush. He was amazing. Spot ON in every event.
I thought they were both robbed on their scores, too. And Sasha Artemev should have gotten at least a 16 on his routine. He’s my new boyfriend.
sarahk — I think I agree with, gulp, Bela Karolyi. The scoring seems biased against the Americans. Sasha A. rocked that routine, I agree!
He’s your boyfriend, yay!
It really kinda does seem biased. Frank hates scored competitions, because there’s no definitive measure of how well they *actually* did.
