Oh, and Alicia Sacramone got totally hosed off the podium in the Vault by incompetent judges who awarded a medal to a Chinese girl who actually fell to her knees on her landing.

This is why, IMO, figure skaters, gymnasts, and any other athletes that are judged like this can't be compared to runners, swimmers, etc. when talking about the greatest Olympians. Clock don't lie (to paraphrase Rasheed Wallace).
