Mustafina winning by less than 3 hundredth of a point was so incredible to see. Madison Kocian had a fantastic routine. And the margin of her win was less than the difference between her difficulty and Madison's of 6.8 and 6.7 respectfully.

[@Fvhlipe]

[@donaldholderdoc2910]

Can you imagine the poor athletes who planned their whole life for the Olympic games. Planning routines, trying to peak at just the right time and having it delayed not just one time but for a whole year? Then retraining, trying to plan on repeaking and have it possibly postponed or worse, cancelled permanently? I wouldn't want to be the one to tell them. There's no way most of these gymnasts will be able to hang on physically till 2024 as top athletes in their field.

[@LucienSabre]

@@donaldholderdoc2910 Except Japan said like months ago that they wouldn’t postpone the Games again let alone cancel them.
