You know, Alicia Sacramone's falls didn't cost the US gold.

The point differential between gold and silver was 2.375. Alicia fell twice and stepped out of bounds once, giving her a 1.7 point loss for mistakes and two subpar scores: 14.125 on floor and 15.1 on beam. Had she sucked less she would have gotten a 15.025 and 15.9, respectively, which aren't bad scores at all, especially as Nastia Liukin scored 15.2 and 15.975 in those events, so we can't really expect her to have done too much better. And Alicia's vault score was the second highest for the team.

Given all that, we can only really chew her out for all but .675 points (71.59% of the losing differential), so ultimately it's not just her fault: the team was boned, fall or no fall.

In other news, Romania sucks.
