Members of China’s women’s gymnastics team reacts after winning the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics team finals at the Beijing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2008.The Americans? Well, they just flopped. With the two best gymnasts in the world and the Olympic gold medal within their grasp, the Americans bumbled and fumbled it away Wednesday at the Beijing Games. A fall off the beam here, a splat on floor there and two steps out of bounds was more than enough to cost a team a victory, no matter how many world titles it had.
