Going off of records and medals alone it would be hard to go against him.

It sounds like Gabby Douglas is well on her way to winning the Womens all-around gymnastics championship

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:25 PM

All-around ranking after 3 events: 1-Douglas 47.199, 2-Komova 46.873, 3-Mustafina 44.966, 4-Deng Linlin 44.466, 5-Raisman 44.433

If Douglas hits her floor routine she will probably be good. Raisman has a great floor routine though, arguably the best in the world and can get onto the medal stand. Anything is possible as proven in these past few days of exciting and unpredictable gymnastics.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:26 PM

Douglas is up on the floor talk about nerve wreaking.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:26 PM

Gabby looked a little nervous at the beginning of her floor routine, but who wouldn't be when she has so much on the line?

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:27 PM

She had a great first pass and then hit the pass where she goes out of bound a lot. The crowd was clapping along with the music. It's such a catchy tune.

***Granny Bear*** · 08-02-2012, 01:28 PM

Good Lord, Dusty...WHAT HAPPENED???

***Granny Bear*** · 08-02-2012, 01:29 PM

Oh...you have just posted. What's up with the time that appears with the posts?? It's later than the real time.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:29 PM

She nailed that routine and had a giant grin from ear to ear at the end of her routine while the arena just erupted. Her teammates were crying in the stands.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:29 PM

^ BGR clock has been off for months

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:30 PM

Gabby notched a 15.033 on floor. Komova has the best chance of passing her up for all-around gold and Komova goes last on the event. She needs a 15.36 win.

Aly Raisman is fighting for a spot on the podium and floor is her strongest event.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:31 PM

SPOILER ALERT: Gabby Douglas is your individual gold medalist!

It's a quantum time space issue :Sad04:

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:32 PM

Raisman is fourth. Mustafina earns the bronze.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:32 PM

Raisman goes over the Douglas and gives her a huge hug, saying something to Gabby. Raisman obviously looks disappointed

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:32 PM

To clarify, Raisman finishes 4th on a tiebreak w/ Mustafina, who took bronze. Komova is silver medalist. And she is in tears. Raisman is expressionless.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:33 PM

Tiebreaker rules:

Should there be ties in the team finals in London, the lowest apparatus score will be dropped and the remaining scores added. If that doesn't break the tie, additional apparatus scores will be dropped, one at a time, until there is a winner. If no winner emerges, the tie stand

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 01:36 PM

Gabby's win will tie up the Medal count:

Carmelo Anthony is playing like a robot. Somebody seriously needs to check and see if he's not a terminator sent from the future to annihilate the basketball world.

With two more threes Carmelo has passed Stephon Marbury with the highest scoring game in US Olympic history with 34, three ahead of Marbury's 31.

He's only 21 behind Oscar Schmidt for the all-time Olympic record.

USA 97, Nigeria 54 with 5:16 left in the third.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 06:43 PM

Seriously though, how is Carmelo Anthony still getting open looks. He just hit his 10th three pointer of the game, putting him up to 37 points on the game.

They finally take Carmelo out and put Chandler back in, but the damage is done.

USA 102, Nigeria 56 with 4:15 left in the third.

The Nigerian team's uniforms are eerily similar to the Washington General's.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 06:46 PM

A Russell Westbrook three gives the US another three points and Ike Diogu drives into the lane for an easy two.

Westbrook takes another three and draws the foul, making two of three free throws.

He misses the final free throw, gets the ball back on the three point line and puts that down too. That's a five point possession right there.

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 06:47 PM

USA 111, Nigeria 60

**Stardust** · 08-02-2012, 06:47 PM

Deron Williams puts in a fast break lay-up as Chamberlain Oguchi matches him on the other end.

Russell Westbrook gets back to the line and puts in two free throws.

USA 115, Nigeria 62 with 0:50 left in the third.

Can the US put up 150?
