Yep, there will be more gymnastics tonight and tomorrow too - but you have to avert your eyes - because the events have again been recorded - not live like last week.
The scoring on the vault last night was horrid, but I'm sorry I do not know how that Romanian girl beat Shawn on the floor either
- before Shawn even went the commentators were saying that the judges weren't even counting several of Shawn's elements in her level of difficulty.
It is very evident that the judges are trying to change gymnastics - there was a story in the paper about how the judges want gymnastics to change to be more dancy -
-- I just do not understand this, there is already rhythmic gymnastics - I enjoy the power tumbling - I really do not care for too many dance elements in the floor routines - to be quite honest - most of these girls can't dance and they can't turn on that floor - which has been demonstrated by several, including the Chinese.
Shawn's coach - usually avoids the press - but he is just baffled by the judges scoring, you can read what he told our local reporter who is in Beijing (she has followed Shawn for years)

Ok, I know, I'm biased with my hometown girl
- but praying she can pull out the Gold on the beam tomorrow!!
Also, I have to brag on my other hometown girl -- Lolo Jones - she will be in the finals tomorrow of the 100-meter hurdles. She won her heat yesterday and today won again in the semi-finals - hoping she earns another Gold for the USA!!
