Friends,
They may have won the Bronze medal, but the US men's gymnastics team were all gold to any American watching their performance last night. They gutted out routine after routine with great spirit and strength, not getting the marks they deserved...nevertheless, they simply excelled. The Chinese, with the "home field advantage" won the Gold...and deserved it, as they were spectacular for most of the evening. But, we're not talking about them. This men's team, that few gave a chance to medal because they were missing their two leaders (ex-Olympians Paul Hamm and his brother Morgan), came through with a bunch of young first time Olympians who had nothing to lose. Jonathan Horton, their inspirational leader, at one point yelled..."no fear, no regrets" -- and they had none. Excellent job guys!
