Men's Gymnastics
Filed under the Olympic Patriotism Department.
We watched the men's gymnastics team went through the high bar last night (aside: why only one for them and not two like the women? Did somebody say, "No sissy two bars for us! Just one solitary, manly rod of steel to hang like an ape from."). I was on the edge of my seat as Spring was flying through the air, seriously, it just looked like the guy was borderline crazy and out-of-control. Then when Horton stuck his landing, I basically Kermit-the-Frogged-screamed.
Of course, for those of you scoring at home, it was disappointing to watch the team fold like napkins in the floor and horse. Still, they did well enough to secure a medal and even appeared for a moment to be in contention to pull off one of the biggest upsets in Olympic history for the silver.
Congrats.
