What BBN said about it

  1. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorChina wins the women's team gold at worlds in Rotterdam, one sixty-five point seven six four to one sixty-five point five three one, and the American streak of seven straight titles is over.

  4. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorSo one landing ended a dynasty! Seven titles, all by at least two points, and it comes down to a dismount.

  5. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorI'm telling you, that's a crime against arithmetic, and the scoreboard is the victim.

  6. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWas Simone Biles out there?

  7. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorNo, she didn't compete at these championships, and the U.S. had nobody with Olympic experience, the first time since twenty eleven.

  8. Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorReese Esponda, eighteen, still had to go last on floor.
