I was just happy to see him upset about gymnastics. LOL! But seriously, the vault was ridiculous, that you can step over the line and fall to your knees and medal.

With track, if two people cross the line at the same time for 2nd place, then they both get medals. Why can't two gymnasts with the same score, down to the thousandths of a second no less, each get the same medal?

Stupid and unfair.
