  2. I had also probably had heard about the controversy about the new scoring system in gymnastics. But putting that aside, since I had seen Olympic gymnastics for the past 3 Olympics, I know what to watch for in a routine.  I usually would pretend to do judging in gymnastics for the execution score for most athletes in the Beijing games. I start out with a 10, see if there are any faults that I can deduct points in. When I see a major fall, I knock off .5 points. When I see a fall in the dismount, I knock off .7 to .8 in the execution score. When I see a bad form break especially in the high bar, I knock off about .3 points. When someone steps out of bounds with both feet during the floor exercise, I knock off .4 points.  And most of the time, I got the score right.

    I also saw Shawn Johnson's beam routine. She was what I call "The Real Lily of the Balance Beam", even though, very honestly, she had a few minor balance checks.

    When I heard that Shawn won the gold medal, I had realized that I imaging former olympian Mary Lou Retton jumping for joy.

    Just like that, Shawn Johnson was the world star, and was invited to recite the pledge of allegiance at the last day of the DNC in Envesco Field in Denver, Co. She is famous now.

    I regret Nastia Liukin's shattered hopes for a gold medal due to the scoring system in the women's all-around competition. Still glad that she got the silver. And a new silver lining...her sentiment of "concentration" during the gymnastics reminded me a little bit of Nadia from Romania in the 1976 games.
