Not that I care too much but how dumb of a rule is it that only 2 american gymnasts can qualify, if 3 or more are all in the top 10 or whatever they should all be able to compete for an individual medal.

So Weiber is the defending world champion in gymnastics, finished in the first round 4th overall, yet doesn't qualify for the top 24 finals because two of her teammates were in the top 3, there seems to be something incredibly wrong with that,

INJUSTICE! STORM THE PALACE! THE QUEEN WILL RIGHT THIS WRONG!
(But yeah, that sucks. I was rooting for her since she's from Michigan)

I felt terrible for her. I'd like to hear the reasoning behind the rule, isn't the entire point of the Olympics to decide who the best in the world are? By definition an event like that can't have a rule like this...

Well, to a degree. If that was the complete truth, we'd just say screw trials, semifinals, etc. and just put the absolute 10 fastest/best people in each event and let them duke it out.
It sucks but whatever, gymnastics do too when it comes to legislation, ethics, etc.

I'm with you as well, after essentially vilifying them because they dare trash talk....something we Americans pride ourselves on.

Yes we did :(
Super super super favourite for that race (Magnussen #1, Roberts #3 and Sullivan recently a top 50m specialist) and we didn't even get a place. Thankfully our women surprised a few and took out their relay. Hopefully Magnussen rebounds and pumps everyone like he should in the individual 100m free.

It's like how he insists that he went to UofM even though he went to a different school with an entirely separate campus, motto, mascot and name of university on the diploma.

Romulus sounds like the name of some alien planet. I'm pretty sure you are making this up.
