Wow...

FX - Wieber USA - 14.800... I love Wieber but that's a pretty big score.

FX - Komova RUS - Nice first pass double arabian well landed. Good double tuck second pass. Great leaps and dance, getting very into it. Triple twist a little low on landing but great nontheless. Steps out of her double turn. Double pike, very low landing, step forward. But very relieved. Much better night than TF!

Wieber wins the GOLD! <3

 

[bradyelizabeth]

OH .... MY ... GOSH....

FX - Komova RUS - 14.333 Counted her step out of the turn as a fall. She's in tears.

Wieber also in tears, but a very different kind. Proud of her for fighting through this competition, coming back like she did is always impressive. Congratulations Jordyn Wieber the new All Around World Champion!!!

FINAL:
1. Wieber USA 59.382
2. Komova RUS 59.349
3. Yao CHN
4. Raisman USA
5. Huang CHN
6. Porgras ROM

Such a small margin between Wieber and Komova. I'm sure Russia will try to appeal that score.
But we'll wait and see.

No protest looks like, the gymnasts march out for the medal ceremony. Congratulations to all! Everyone fought hard which is always great to see.

 

[bradyelizabeth]

Pictures now, after the medal ceremony, and smiles from both Wieber and Huang but definitely no smile from Komova. Not even a smirk, just a blank stare. Don't worry Komova, come back fighting next year! Be proud of your great performance. And to Jordyn, CONGRATS! And enjoy the moment, soak it all in!

 

[bradyelizabeth]

Oh! Komova walks off the podium pull her medal right off in a very Russian fashion.
