Shawn Johnson won a gold medal? What, were there no Chinese gymnasts around to give it to?

Or did Shawn land on her knees on her dismount, since that seems to be the new way of "sticking" the landing in the Olympics?

If there was a Chinese finalist the wire transfers didn't hit the judges accounts in time for this one. It's about time they get it right.
