I love to watch the high bar, parellel bars, and vault. That's about it for me. I feel like the floor exercise is out dated for both men's and women's at this point. Just boring to me.

Floor routine is one of my favorites if it's done by someone that knows how to do it well. And I like uneven bars.
For men, the rings and high bar is what I watch mostly. I really don't like the pommel horse.
Well we are about as different as can be on that one. I just think floor exercise has become too much like the men's with a couple extra shimmies to get from one corner to the other. I enjoyed it when the dance counted as much as the stuck landings. Love uneven bars, beam, and vault!
And I'm sure the pommel horse is hard, but it's like watching paint dry.

I really hope this doesn't come off wrong lol, but I feel like the pommel horse is like watching a paraplegic trying to get in their wheelchair. Their legs just look so weird (which is obviously the hard part).

Yeah, it's nicer with some dancing, definitely!
And gotta agree. It mostly just looks the same on the pommel horse.. The dismounts can be cool but that's about it.
I can't disagree...

Uneven bars and the beam are so much fun to do... those were my favorites when I was in gymnastics, especially the uneven bars... 😍
Vault is difficult to do and I find it kind of boring both to do and to watch.
Of couse I couldn't do any of them anymore without cracking my skull open...

Do you want me to ease your pain and suffering with the final results?

Oh man, I was on the phone with a friend earlier and she was raving about how cute one of the divers was (Tom Daley). I of course looked him up to see how schmexy he was and thought he was pretty cute, but definitely baby faced. Then looked and he was 18... I felt like such a freaking pervert.

Jumperssss. Only problem is that it's not working for me. Loads the page but the video won't show up. 🙁
Your avatar, too?
Ugh, I missed two of the German runs and only got to see the end of the 3rd. 🙁 At least it's working now.
Ugh. This is gonna be such a close one..

Is it just me or does the Judo kind of look like two girls trying to hit and grab at each other, like a cat fight (at least that's what we call it)?
I got to see the end of the show jumping rounds. It was on at work during lunch! I think they changed it to bad daytime tv now, though. 😛 Good on your team, PP!
Yeah I just saw the end of the team show jumping!!! Individual Show Jumping starts at 2 PM I think, so I am going to watch all of that!!!! 😀

I just realized that I am going to miss the women's gymnastics team final this morning. 🙁
I'm so happy about the Team Gold and I hope we can do it in the individual, too! 😀

*Sigh* we can't win them all.
Oh no! I missed the team SJ this morning already? Damn 🙁 And I have got to stop checking this thread before I watch stuff. Oh well...Germany deserved that one.
Looks like SJ shook up the invidividual results for now. Was so hoping for another gold for Mark Todd, but I'm guessing his horse was a bit green over the course. What time does the final start (in EST time please 🙂)?
On a different note...the men's gymnastics team was pathetic last night. I only watched it on primetime tv so they probably had some good rounds they didn't show, but I have never seen a team give up like that. Not cool at all. 👎

Olympics were amazing. Brazil and Germany were well matched.
Anyone else watching the SJ Individual Medal Finals?!
