Well, people online love to rant about the Olympics. I don’t rant about the Olympics too much ’cause I like treat most athletes in a positive direction, but this one isn’t going to be so kind. It may be a controversial post, but it needs to be said.

Usually, when an athlete gets a big win like that, they usually congratulate their losing opponent right after the game is over with, as a way to show respect and make them feel better even if they lost. Yes, the 5 women, most notably known as the Fab 5 who went against Russia and Romania last night. The Fab 5 were very impressive, yes, don’t get me wrong, but their egos were over the top. The 5 US women didn’t show any sympathy for Russia and Romania, yet they celebrated with each other for a good long 10 minutes or more. They didn’t walk over to the losing team to shake their hands or hug them or whatever.

Yes, the Fab 5 may have shook their hands at the end when they received their medals of course, but they needed to show them more respect in the beginning. Sure, the US women’s team haven’t won the gold in gymnastics in years, so you may say they deserve a good long celebration, but they were all about themselves last night.

I noticed a few of the Russian women broke out crying because of a bad performance, yet the Fab 5 were all over each other for 10 minutes, while the other teams suffered a big loss. While I’m happy that Team USA won big, I’m also disgusted at the hate and disrespect of other countries in the Olympics. I hope I’m not the only one that noticed this? What the Fab 5 did was kind of disrespectful to the other teams.

Most American’s are happy for the Fab 5, but most people didn’t catch the fact that they didn’t care about the loss that the other teams suffered. It was an incredible performance with the young women, but they must show respect to their other opponents and I didn’t see any from them last night. Sorry to say this. Just had to.
