She managed to hold back the tears until her routine was done.

I hate... hate... hate seeing that.  Poor girl.  4 years for that.

Online, i was watching the Men's high bar. One of the guys lost a
grip and had to stop in his routine. He then got back on and
finished. You could see the disappointment as he finished and then
went and sat down, waiting for the score. THe camera just focused on
him for the next 5min or so. Gwad, that was brutal.
