Alicia Sacramone gets her gold

with two huge, well-executed vaults.

The next best in terms of execution was Brazil's Jade Barbosa, who placed third (and looked rather distressed about it). Mustafina, the silver medalist, was sloppy, especially in her second vault - was it intended to be laid out or tucked? It was both. Nabieva seemed to have a breakdown after her vaults. She too was sloppy.

The cameras held on Ariella Kaeslin, who was visibily nervous. She kept third place until Barbosa, the last competitor, bumped her out. It must also be noted that Kaeslin has beautiful hair.

Cool to see a Korean gymnast in the finals: Jo Hyunjoo, who looked super excited to be there.

Men's pommel horse right now, which also doesn't set my soul on fire. Uneven bars soon! He Kexin, Beth Tweddle, Rebecca Bross -- it should be exciting.
