before being suspicious watch the championships and the routines. I don´t agree with what you said about south american teams being overscored in south america. If you look at the scores of the brazilian gymnasts in the south america and even the brazilian championships you´ll see that usually they get better scores in the world cups and world championships, if you compare them. This is a bad looser atittude.

I just read on GGMB that USA came 1st, Can 2nd and Brazil 3rd.

Also read that all 3 Can fell on bars, and that only 3 Can competed. The USA girls came 1,2,3,4 AA. They rarely get this stuff wrong and the results came from someone who watched.

HAHAHAHA Only because the Brazillians won and the americans finished in second the South American teams was ovescored ? Do you saw the Scores ?

Brazil came a powerfull gymnastic , Sérgio Sasaki , was nineteenth in the All around in London.
He made Hypólito II on floor , double Front on Vault and Kovacs in the High Bar . he led the Brazillian team in this competition and i´m not surprised with this Victory .

Today , the american girls were very weel .

It does seem like kind of a sore LOSER (notice one “o”) attitude if you haven’t seen the competition and haven’t heard how anyone did. Strong teams on paper can fall and crack under pressure, you know :)

on the male competition Brazil was better than USA. It is a simple fact. But on the female, USA deserved win, with all sure! =)
