It kinda bothered me that sui lu was so clearly upset she was kinda being a bad sport even the girls who fell off weren’t crying . if I had been Linlin I would have felt bad and not be able enjoy the moment . Sui lu must have been terribly disappointed so I get it but ....

[@cvntracha]

Why was she upset? I wasn't watching with sound so I'm completely lost as to why she started crying.

[@minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531]

Amber J her teammate Linlin scored better then her (sui lu ) Linlin came first all around and sui lu came in sec they won gold and sliver sui lu showed bad sportsmanship by openly crying I mean there were girls who fell during their routines and they kept it together but sui lu didn’t stop crying after Linlin results were announced . She was in second place the whole time and all she did was cry

[@Nicole-db2ub]

@@minwellitsanicknamebegrate2531 to be fair i would cry too. Linlin was already has a gold medal from the olympics and sui lu doesn't. Plus sui lu was so anticipated for gold and she literally trained her whole life for it. Not to mention she got bumped out of the 2008 olympic team by deng linlin. Ofc i love linlin and she deserves her medal but how would you feel if you were so close to something you've wanted your whole life but yet so far

You're not a crybaby, you're a normal human who feels emotions. Don't let anyone make you feel ashamed of feeling things.

[@saragrant9749]

She was really sad because she wanted that gold medal after a.) winning the beam world title a year earlier and b.) being beaten out for the final spot on the Beijing gold medal team four years prior. Both things added up to her being very sad.

[@katbbun1]

This final was one of the most fiercest. The "Big 4" in gymnastics (aka superpowers) got to compete and show the world who the best are . Edit: When Miller said that she hopes that Vika goes home hungry for the next Olympic games, it hit me hard. Miller knows what it's like to be hungry and being a fighter. That's why she won gold on beam in 96.

[@ZZ-lk8gn]

Why are Sui Lu's tears necessarily interpreted as a sign of disappointment? You know, sometimes when you finally complete something very hard, you cry not just the moment you finish them. You just need some time to digest, and suddenly a sense of relief makes you cry. As a college student, I once cried before I went to bed, on the day when I finished my sixth final exam. It seems to me that Lu cried because all those years of trainings were so tough, and she finally finished her Olympics. Not "bad sportsmanship".

[@gccstan31]

Nope, she was definitely disappointed. But I wouldn't call that bad sportsmanship, considering the context. Sui Lu was arguably the best beam worker of that quad, her routines were really admired and rightfully so. You could tell she was really proud of the pure level of skill she achieved on that apparatus. Now Deng already won a gold medal at the prior Olympics and it was non other than Deng that got chosen over Sui for the Olympic team in 2008. She probably was giga frustrated (also I personally think that Deng was a tiny bit overscored)

[@minaisfab17]

Why would it be bad to be disappointed?

The balance beam is really pushing human abilities to the limit. Like how they can even do this on a narrow beam just blows my mind

[@JaxiXD210XD]

I agree! My tumbling sometimes goes crooked even on floor LOL. I can't imagine even attempting this-especially in front of an audience this big.

[@madcancer7]

+Jae Bunny Ya its crazy I don't think I can walk on the beam much less do these wonderful tumbles. I personally prefer Sui Lu to Deng Lin as I feel she is more fluid and less blocky. That turn at 3:44 OMG But when it comes to fluidity, Catalina makes the balance beam look so easy.

[@cjsymes90]

I have a fear of the balance bum because for sport 1 year in high school my PE teacher forced me to get on the beam when I clearly didn't want to. She was pretty much going to give me a detention if I didn't get up even though she could see that I was upset.

This was one of the best finals ever. Not because of the splatfest, but because of the top 2, Sui Lu and Deng Linlin. I believe that these two women are some of the best beam workers EVER. So rarely do we see elegance and maturity displayed on a piece like Balance Beam, all combined with difficulty and pristine execution. I honestly could see how anyone could make an argument for how either should have won, but I will always remember them for the phenomenal work they presented here. To this day I haven't seen anyone, not Simone Biles, not Shang Chunsong, not Aliya Mustafina reach their level of work.

It's because she was supposed to compete in the 2008 Olympics but she lost her chance. Knowing that this is her final chance in the Olympics and she lost her gold she got disappointed. I guess that's reasonable.

[@BlessAllKC]

I think Sui Lu was really disappointed about her own performance, she didn't do as well as she normally could!! She was a little nervous! That's the price she had to pay for being the very first athlete to perform in this event!!! And since this was likely her only chance to prove herself in the Olympics, she couldn't quite accept & let go of her own " less than perfect" show in front of the world !!!

If I were Sui Lu, I would really want to kill myself as it's not that I didn't perform well enough, it's all because of the 0.1 difficulty and one more tumbling and the score can be higher than Deng Lin Lin's.

[@angela.m]

+Amydali86 the more exercise/stress you put your body under, the more underdeveloped it will be, which is why Chinese gymnasts look so young, because they train way too hard.

[@andrewh.7076]

+Faewaterspirit i saw her competing at junior games at 2000. If she was only 16 in 2012, she was only 4 in 2000. There is no way that she can compete for the junior games at the age of 4.

[@tiffanylye7905]

guys this was 2012, and she was 20. so she was born in 1992, which means she was 8 and not 4 in 2000. is that so hard to understand?

[@sharon159]

Andrew Hooker if she was 16 in 2012 then why isn't she competing again in the Río Olympics? Using ur logic then she would only be 20 in 2016 which still makes her eligible to compete in the Río Olympics so....where is she? Yeah, retired because she's 25 now.

This has been one of the best BB final in terms of the artistry and execution, specially Sui Lu, Komova, Catalina, Larisa and Deng. I prefer Sui Lu's gymnastics better then Deng's since she is so fluid with her movements but Deng really gave a great performance here. Can not stop watching this.

You've been convinced into thinking they're all awful and that's incredibly sad to see that it was so easy to convince you.

I don't understand why their trainer or whoever it is who supports them doesn't hug them. It's seems like when they do bad no one wants anything to do with them. It just seems odd that the people who do well get hugs and the others don't. It just seems sad, like if I fell off the balance beam I'd want a hug or some support. Btw I think anyone who does anything on a balance beam is crazy talented. It's amazing how someone can even walk on one let alone do back flips and all this crazy stuff.

When I was younger I could run, jump, hop, and skip my way across a balance beam. I even loved doing gymnastics and I drastically improved in the first few months. But my mom pulled me out because a few months in, and I still couldn’t do a good cartwheel. And do this day, I regret letting her pull me out because it’s all fallen away. I can’t even walk confidently across a beam anymore. So I have mad respect for these ladies who make it look so effortless.
