By contrast, Mustafina, this year?s Russian ?diva,? leaves me a little cold, though I think she should get a gold medal for her theatrical gaze alone. Between routines, her large, languid, well-made-up eyes kept tearing up vaguely. Then she?d wander over to Komova, or vice versa, and they?d hug, leaning on one another mournfully. The silver should have brought some consolation; Russia didn?t medal last time around. Gymnastics is so high-risk that strange things can happen. You don?t always feel that gold, silver, and bronze go to the right teams. But this year it was pretty evident that the medal order was spot on. China, after taking the gold in Beijing, offered a poor showing, performing awfully on vault; their new team just doesn?t have the necessary solidity. Romania, which took the bronze, was very bronzish?they performed well, but not spectacularly.
