Why are commenters at The Big Lead so cankle-erous?

Minka sheds a tear every time she’s referenced at TBL.

Nice try, but I’m actually Skip Carey.

So, for instance, Raisman got higher scores in three of the four events. Therefore, she should have probably been awarded the bronze. Makes more sense than pretending events didnt happen.

But really, who cares? It’s gynmastics.

The word “execution” is being thrown around as a possible reason

Execution? Yeah, I’m all for it.

Moreover, you could’ve been a harbinger of sanity to the twitter masses with your new-found tiebreaker info. Hell, it could have gained you a few thousand more followers!

Herein lies the fundamental difference between you and I (see my comments above), and McTibble. He gets paid a lot more than I do, so what the fuck do I know?

Lowest apparatus for overall. Mustafina had a 16.1 uneven bars, and got to drop her lowest score. She must have really beamed when she vaulted to the bronze.

The word “execution” is being thrown around as a possible reason. Seems vague.

The vague word “execution” refers to the execution score, which is one of the two scores they flash on that little score screen for each gymnast. Hope this clears it up.
