It's something like the difficulty of the routine minus deductions. But you're right it's really easy to cheat the scores... cough... CHINA! |

| Not disappointed at all. Without the Hamm brothers, there's constant pressure on the newcomers. China is just a better team--not sure about Japan, though (they looked like they were sleepwalking the entire time).

Japan was expected to win silver from the beginning.
I'm only dissapointed because the U.S. had the silver within their grasps and that Kevin Tan guy blew it.  Bronze is still very good considering.
Yeah - my disklike for China is growing. Arrogant <beepity> <beeps>, cheating ones at that. |

Glad we got a medal...but I thought it was funny that we were jumping around, excited for a bronze when Team Japan looked pissed with their silver  |
We'll take it if they don't want it |

I have to admit that while I was originally disinterested in the men's gymnastics event, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the action last night.
The Chinese were amazing and twice during the night I said "HOLY SHIT!" when the US men nailed routines.
That was a great out of nowhere performance by the US team. |

Tell 'em to lay off the saki. Silver ain't bad at all. I'm satisfied with our bronze.
