It's sad that that's how it has to be for people to get into Olympics, but people peak at such a young age unfortunately. I hated hearing the announcers go, "This [Chinese] girl called her parents three years ago crying and begging them to let her come home, but thank God they didn't, because this is just magical."

That is just sad to me, really. It was a few flips that cost this girl the first twenty years of her life. =/

And "You know the Romanian team used to take everything so seriously and there'd be no laughing and they'd always be huddled around the coach, but now you see them chatting by the chalk board during breaks, it's really rather sad to see."

Uh, no, the Romanian team from the 80's was sad to see...

But isn't it magical.

Not really. The only athlete I've found it amazing to see excel is Lance Armstrong.

I feel bad for Alicia Sacramone. She cost her team the gold.
