Heartbreaking... whether the rule has been in place for the last two Olympics games or not, there was something about this that just brought tears to my eyes.
And with this... Poor Ryan. The success of the previous day was short lived. All I could think of is Heidi Klum saying "one day your in and the next... you're out"
...what are YOUR thoughts???
Jordyn was robbed!!! She was ranked 5th in the entire field of gynmasts and she wasn't allowed to compete!! They said the person who took her spot was literally 6pts behind her... seriously???
ReplyDeleteNow, I have to be a little cruel. I think that karma came and kicked Ryan in the butt! Everyone this year is slamming Phelps. I must confess, I am a little smitten with him by the way... hehe. But he beat him in an event that Phelps didn't even officially "train" for and everyone has slammed him since!
Then the first 3 legs of the freestyle gave him a freebee... a 1/2 sec advantage going into the last leg. Yup! He blew it!!
BUT STILL... everyone is picking on Phelps because he didn't medal.
Sorry, I'm a little passionate about the olympics :) I've been staying up way too late and sleeping til all hours in the morning. ooppss! That's the great part about having an amazing hubby who is also a teacher (and wakes in the morning to get the kiddos breakfast and make me coffee) hehe
