I was sitting here trying to figure out who was the 3rd Russian to go on floor.

I feel so sorry for the young Russians. That child will relive that routine for the rest of her life. It's easy to forget they are just kids. Fortunatly for her, her teammate screwed up on the FX as well so it's not all her fault.
Your program sucks and your partner just fell: lay down and play dead or think Feck this and do a Th3A at the end of the program: Aliona Savchenko: Definition of a competitor

You have to wonder if that thought was going through their head. I know I would've been considering it if I was that upset. Poor girls! Originally Posted by Theatregirl1122

I guess NBC are pretending Afan doesn't exist.

NBC seems determined to never let us see Afan's floor. Originally Posted by Cyn

I am LOL at the Russian gymnasts using hideous elevator music for their floor routines just like the figure skaters!

This is why I am so grateful that I watched this earlier on the NBC website. I now have my TV on mute so I can miss these "gems". Originally Posted by vesperholly

Obviously, Al has not seen Maroney's death stare. Of course they will go for it. Duh! Originally Posted by vesperholly

At least Russia had enough mistakes on beam and floor to ensure that she won't take the full blame. The team, as a whole, just collapsed. Originally Posted by rfisher

I thought the American girls sort of looked upset by the Russian's socres. It could just be nerves, but it really did look like Jordyn was visibly upset for them. Originally Posted by vesperholly

I can't believe they chacked Afan. Her mistake was what sealed the deal for Russia.

Afan was good till the end when she fell forward on her last pass and landed on her knees.

Is it easy to take out an element during a tumbling run? You'd think with muscle memory it'd be hard.
