Nastia Liukin Olympic Upset
A disbelieving Nastia Liukin at the gymnastics


If it isn't the biggest upset for American gymnastics at these Olympic games. Medal hopeful Nastia Liukin receives a silver medal on the uneven bars, losing out to China. To begin, I'm not the biggest fan of the host nation, it's one thing to have a population that is so devoted to it's government they will voluntarily clean up the filth for the greater glory of their home state, but then to lead the medal tally by almost double the gold placings is just uncalled for. Yet, Liukin's father squarely points his gnarled finger at the Australian judge, fully qualified in her profession, for the supposed loss that his daughter has suffered. Firstly, Mr. Liukin, your daughter was on a tally of 3 medals, one of those gold, if there is any reason for the global population to claim American greed, you deify it. Secondly, how do you claim to know better than this professional judge? I fail to see how could possibly be impartial in such a situation and how your technical knowledge could even scrape at Helen Colaguiri's one could only guess.


Yet to top it off, you attempt to start a flame war with her and Australian Gymnastics. Abusive emails, hate mail and name calling, you resemble the epitome of arrogance and narcissism that encapsulates how the rest of the world sees America. You've done a fine thing representing your country at these Olympics Mr. Liukin, one only hopes that you are not one of many sporting parents, living out your childhood dreams through your daughter. It certainly appears that way and one can only hope you would be proud of your daughters achievements, medals or not.
