Same here. I really never follow other of the sports, than football and occasinoally basketball and athletics.
USA. Not much events left for China to sweep any more gold, imo.Who do you guys think will have the most medals?
I'm assuming you're referring to the men's all-around? Both that and the women's final were fun to watch so I agree. My family is Japanese so we were rooting for Kohei and was pleased by the result.That gymnastics final was ridiculously intense. T_T
Shame he couldn't get that double Olympic gold; would've capped a wonderful tournament for him.MURRAY ... Well deserved. Finally a big win. Now, there is a real big 4 in tennis.
Newbie question: what are the difference between acrobatic and gymnastic? I know next to nothing about the sport so all the moves appear the same to me. ^^; (However, I can still tell that Nadia Comaneci was on a whole other level in Montreal.)I don't like the women's to be honest as there are too many acrobatic elements compared to the gymnastic ones in contrast to men's who have one or two elements (often one combined with a gymnastic). I don't watch FX to see them move around graciously to music (dance passage) - for that I watch dance competitions. Here I want to see a pure gymnastic performance with or without music I don't care. Give me a performance with an acro line with two different saltos, salto sideward and backward, double BA, and a badass dismount and I'm happy :3
Plus half of the girls competing in the women's finals (which should be renamed to girl's finals) are like sixteen to eighteen, max 1.40cm tall and weigh like 30-40kgs. IT IS FREAKY!!!!!!!!!
Marcel did great too! I'm glad Uchimura had a good performance after the fall on the pommel horse in the team final, and the mistakes he made in qualifications.Ehehh, that aside I was kind of rooting for Marcel Nguyen so pleased he did so well :3 Never expected him to have much of a chance against Uchimura... Or well, after two events maybe but the Japanese was just so frigging solid in his performance it was ridiculous. :3
