    I've definitely seen some home field advantage in these Olympics. Oh well I guess.

    It's good to see people not splitting hairs about the ridiculous results that have characterized these Olympics.

    Aw, why'd you have to remind me of that debacle?

    Kind of a biased article I know, but it keeps some of the ridiculous results in the News at least. :/

    Every home team has an advantage. Last night that dude Bella Karolyi said the team he coached in 96 had an advantage because the games were in Atlanta. This always happens with subjective sports like gymnastics, figure skating, and diving. It's the judges. Despite all this, the USA will still prevail. :)

    On a side note, anyone remember Dominique Dawes? She was by far one of the finest US gymnasts ever.
