The selection process is all up to Karolyi instead of just results. Kinda odd to me as well.
Karolyis are all done after this one.

No, I recognize the tape - some of the basketball players were wearing it in the NCAA's...Patches, or Kinesio tape (like the stuff Kerri Walsh Jennings wears on her surgically-repaired shoulder)? If you're talking about Kinesio tape, that stuff helps provide stability and improves circulation to joints and/or muscles.
So you think it was more wanting Aly to qualify than wanting Gabby to qualify?The reason they didn't let Laurie compete for a spot in the all around is because Karolyi wanted to give Raisman a better shot at qualifying.
This is an opinion after just watching team qualifications, but I think US is going to go 1 - 2 on the women's individual floor exercise, and may just sweep the medals.
Well, before we badmouth Gabby Douglas too much, more perspective - she had the third highest score in the world tonight and still won't get to participate in the overall finals.
I feel bad for the guy who swam the semis in place of Phelps. He does just as much work and Phelps gets the medal (and a chunk of change if I'm not mistaken)I'm loving the reaction of the two newbies on the podium for the men's 4x100...one can't stop grinning like a fool, the other is overcome...
And I'm sorry if I appear to be bad-mouthing Gabby. I DO feel that there was some bias involved at the trials, because Gabby did NOT perform well there. She is a very talented gymnast and a defending gold medalist, but she still needs to earn her place on the team.
I cannot get into gymnastics. I need an objective measurement. Yeah, routines look cool but why don't they all do the same to make scoring easier?
I read online women like gymnastics because it's similar to the drama of reality tv. The article was serious.
Yeah, that's been happening for a long time. I agree...I think the ones that race in the prelims should race in the final (barring injury). But I suppose from there, it would be a short step to injuring your slowest man? Oh, I hope not!I feel bad for the guy who swam the semis in place of Phelps.
