---.----Amazing!

By the way, I forget her name but a Canadian female gymnast was the only one to execute perfectly the most challenging somersault on the floor event, at these 2012 Olympic games.
And NO ONE ELSE even tried that one! ...The degree of difficulty was "Impossible" to do!!! ...Or the highest.

Sorry, but no time to search for the video; but it's there somewhere if you don't mind searching on the Canadian female gymnast athletes side.

* EDIT: I believe her name's Victoria Moors, and that special triple twisting (or 2.5) somersault had a difficulty level of 6.5! ...But I'm not 100% sure, as I cannot find her performance on youtube (perhaps too early at this moment with some heavy restrictions on what can be posted on youtube or any other video medias for that matter).
I searched real hard only to find out that the Internet is like a jail! There is simply no freedom here!
...Meaning the Olympics represent BIG MONEY for some 'entities'!

If you want true freedom, climb the Everest, at night, when no one else is on the mountain, and build a skyscraper when you reach the top, with 100 floors high, and stay on the 100th floor's penthouse, without nobody else having access to the elevator but just you!

What a fantastic ladies team gym final, and well done USA; the gals showed a lot of character, and not just in their performances.

---Man they worked and they worked and they worked some more and real hard at it! ...Their almost entire lives are preprogrammed like robots to that ultimate goal: Gold at the Olympics!

And these young American ladies (well-behaved girls) did it!

The reason for the deduction............her bra strap was showing.

The 1st thing I noticed when the women's team walked into the venue was that Maroney exuded confidence.

She can be a bit too sultry in some of the photo shoots.
