celebrating at the Olympics

My gut reaction — as a former cranky old judge — to Ray Zapata celebrating after hitting Floor and qualifying for the Final was … too much for the Olympics.

I would prefer gymnasts do that after stepping down from the podium.

He had saluted the judges. No deduction.

Many disagreed. Many want to see more honest emotion from gymnasts at the end of their routine, even if still on the podium.

Here’s the argument for letting athletes show their emotions.

ZOU Jingyuan – Rings

ZOU Jingyuan is the greatest P Bar man all time.

BUT we’ll have to put him in the rankings of best RINGS all time, as well.

If China beats Japan, it will be due to their fantastic Rings line-up.
