Cheng Fei dominated the floor and event finals (duh). Once again Hong Su Jong (DPR) finished behind Cheng on vault, and in Alicia Sacramone’s absence, Marissa King (GBR) took bronze behind Cheng and Hong. The Brit contingent was very happy about that.
Bridget and Chellsie finished second and third behind Cheng on floor exercise. I’m slightly consoled that Chellsie is going to come home with a medal.
Dariya Zgoba (UKR) won the uneven bars finals, followed by Jiang Yuyuan and Dasha Joura.
Zgoba’s leotard is butt-ugly. Jiang is just what you’d expect from the winner of the 2007 Longines Award for Cuteness (bwahaha). And it’s great to see Dasha on the podium again! She deserves to be up there more.
Am still waiting for balance beam final results.
But the real star of the show so far (for me) is Bridget. She’s been making good in Beijing, and I’m very proud of her.
While poor Bridget’s dancing is nonexistent (as usual–she seems to be IGNORING her music, which is a shame because I like it), Bridget is solid and spot on, and also moves very gracefully across the floor, even if she doesn’t dance.
And Bridget looks pretty snazzy in that blue leotard. Yes.
