Komova or Douglas?

Many still argue that Vika should have won the Olympics over Gabby Douglas.

… But not as many who argued that Shawn should have won over Nastia.

Compare their AA competitions in this new video edit.

I was happy that Nastia won. And that Gabby won.

Most purists prefer Vika’s style and technique. But she truly did have more conspicuous errors that day. Gabby HIT better.

Regardless of how the judges wildly interpreted the rules of 2012, I felt justice was done.

Gabrielle Douglas deserved to be Olympic Champion.
