Did anyone watch the Olympics?

trinityvixen'Cause, on top of the Paul Hamm thing, which I only found out about Saturday when Lisa told me, apparently the silver medalist in the women's all-around individual final is now claiming that Patterson (forgot her first name) only won because of a massive conspiracy to give the US the gold. She said in an interview with a Russian magazine that she believed that the time the judges took to confer over her one round's scores is proof that they were conspiring--the delay was, I guess, them checking the difference in scores or just maintaining that she should only get so high. This broad also says that the points should go to beauty, grace, and elegance on the mat, not "mechanical tumbling."
Look at this dumb bitch: Does this look like a beauty queen to you?
I actually recognize her from the two seconds I caught of the team all-around. I looked at her and gagged. She's skinnier than someone who has that much muscle ought to be; she's got knock-and-knobby knees; and she has no shape at all (Yes, I know, most gymnasts don't, but she has even less definition than most gymnasts, and that is saying something). Sour puss expression don't really help her any. If the pointswere awarded for beauty and elegance, she'd be somewhere behind an unfed donkey. Grace? Sure, I could see that, as you have to have a degree of floaty-ness to be a good gymnast anyway. Elegance? Meh, same thing, just fancier words.
I hate that she sees conspiracy here. The thing with the men, I get, that was an unfortunate mistake, but this? Look, I do feel bad there was an accident for her in Sydney, but there's no call to be a sore loser. That's like the anti-thesis of what the Olympics is about, right?
