This weekend's Tyson American Cup has really given us an idea of what to expect in the four yeas leading to the next Olympic games. This year's shining star is Jordyn Wieber of the USA. Wieber is now among Mary Lou Retton and Nadia Comaneci, in winning the Tyson American Cup at the age of 13.
Youna Dufournet looked as though she was doing well in third place, until her balance beam routine where she fell off the beam three times.
Amelia Racea also had an awful miss from one of her releases on the uneven bars when she landed face down in a (for lack of a better term) spread-eagle position. This is particularly sad when you consider how difficult Romania had been to beat, in the past. Mistakes like this just didn't happen.
