For anyone who was following the US Gymnastics team, you know how spectacular this girl is. She came onto the team and people didnt have much confidence in her. The judges made negative statements about her performance being iffy. Gabby started off having really bad nerves, she performed well in training but cracked a bit under pressure. However, getting that spot on Team USA has certainly changed her. She came to the Olympics to win and she did.
Here is the story from the HuffPo: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...lympics_n_1733692.html?utm_hp_ref=mostpopular
Also, in all of this glory...the wonderful idiots at Stormfront have found a way to discredit this girl saying that the runner up was "Robbed" and "Affirmative Action strikes again (lol)".
I wanted to make it clear that the Russian girl did not win because 1) Her spirit sucks (I hope this was a factor..) 2) She botched her landing on the vault. 3) She chose to do an easy floor routine that was rather artistic but lacked difficulty...this cost her the Medal and I think she would have won it otherwise.
I don't know if I should bother linking to the Stormfront thread, those people are too wrapped up in their BS. IMO, they are no better than black people who play the race card.
I mean...AA in the Olympics? She only won because she was black? Alright.
