. . . did you cry? . . .
. . . i did . . .
. . . mckayla moroney is considered
the best female gymnast
in the world on the vault . . .
. . . the gold medal
was hers for the taking . . .
. . . she was the next to last
competitor to take her turn . . .
. . . she flies higher
than any other gymnast ~
even the men . . .
. . . but in five short seconds
it was over . . .
. . . as she landed on her . . .
. . . well ~ on her tush . . .
. . . and had to settle
for the silver medal . . .
. . . so much pressure . . .
. . . i never saw her cry . . .
. . . though disappointed,
she seemed tough as nails . . .
. . . but i got tears in my eyes for her . . .

I've been in tears during several of the events. Watching the men's gymnastics team make one mistake after another was heart wrenching. Seeing them cry was even harder. So much pressure for these young men and women. But what examples of try try again.
Like Nedra I've cried more than once during these Olympics...I can't imagine the pressure these kids are under...what shining examples for the kids of our country.
Oh my goodness...I was so sad for her...so wonderful last night that at least Aly Raisman was able to get a gold in floor and the bronze on beam!
