"Only Gold matters!"
Not too much pressure, right?
They both look kinda mean but in interviews they look so sweet and friendly.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Shawn can compete at the next one. That's the main reason I was wanting Nastia to win gold.

Shawn can win it next Olympics, she'll only be 20.

I hope she is at the next Olympics.

What I do have a problem with is that Yang Yilin missed several handstands as well and beam was a joke. She missed elements and deductions weren't taken.

I agree. I think that some of her scores were high for how she did.

Congrats to Nastia and Shawn. I happy that they went 1 and 2.

Who of the USA is doing individual event finals?

Go Shawn and Nastia! I hope Shawn gets a gold this time. Nastia too!

I believe they start today. They have them spread out over the next three days...I don't remember which event is today. It's vault and I don't know what else, I think beam.

Her landing on vault is awkward because it keeps her from falling because her vault is the most difficult in the competition. If she had not done what she did, she would have fallen on her ass like the Chinese gymnast who was the only other one doing that same vault. Shawn did pretty good on bars which is by far her weakest event.

Her landing is awkward because she has a tendency to drop her...

Congrats to Nastia and Shawn! 1-2 ladies!!!

I didn't have a problem with Shawn's scores. She had that awkward landing on vault and on uneven bars she missed a couple of handstands. What I do have a problem with is that Yang Yilin missed several handstands as well and beam was a joke. She missed elements and deductions weren't taken. But all's well that ends well I suppose.

I'm from Des Moines, IA where Shawn Johnson is from, I know her parents traveled to China a few days after she arrived but I haven't seen them yet at the competitions, I really hope she brings home a gold medal, she deserves it!! You can only imagine the huge star she's become in our small town..

That was amazing. I'm happy Nastia and Shawn went 1 and 2. I actually think the Chinese girl is of age. The only one I thought who was underaged was the girl with the missing tooth, and she didn't compete so it's all good.

Love Nastia. She's very graceful and elegant. Shawn can win it next Olympics, she'll only be 20.

Yeah, Nastia looks kinda cold sometimes but that's just the way she looks, lol. I loved to see her smile and tear up tonight!
