    I think it's crappy that you lost your medal on a technicality (60 second appeal rule), but you didn't lose your medal because you're black.

            BTW she is half Latina, half Black (American). But yeah... I guess higher melanin levels and all that. Too bad no one black could ever make it in gymnastics.

                  The floor routine… Wasn’t there an Austrian or something that should have won gold, but was penalized for stepping out of bounds? The pproblem was she didn’t actually step out of bounds?
