In the end, the Chinese won not because they were shorter, or light, but because they made fewer mistakes. And America won respect becos of their finest competitor, Shawn Johnson. She impressed in both her routines and her behaviour. She has grace in any way.
As Sacramone sat in a chair despondent, Johnson finished her last routine on the floor and went to her teammate.
She made space on the same chair, linked her hand deliberately in Sacramone's, and put her chin gently on her teammate's shoulder in empathy.
Johnson is 16. Sacramone is 20 ( and US's captain). Make no mistake it was undoubtedly the best move of the night...
haiz sacramone ah sacramone... relac man
o wells.
Wishing shawn all the best in the all-arounds. You deserve the gold =)
Olympic quote of the day :
From Phelp's coach : you're now tied with the greats.
From Phelp's friend : dude, its ridiculous how many times I have to see your ugly face.
From the Goofball himself: THATS PRETTY COOL MAN.
