Wieber was a part of the elite gymnasts of 2012 after qualifying for the 2012 London games; however she suffered a great setback after realizing that she won’t even get a chance to compete in the women’s finals.

She also added that Wieber should be proud since she’s an Olympian, and the rest of the team now needs to focus on the upcoming games.

The 17 year old athlete was sobbing as she made her exit from the mixed zone. The internal news agency of the London Games 2012 stated that Wieber made a statement via a source, she said that it is a little disappointing because it was her all time dream to compete in the Olympics finals.

The American gymnasts’ team finished first with a total of 181.863 points, Britain stood second with an 11 point difference. The team finals for 2012 gymnastics are scheduled for Tuesday.

Wieber’s coach and the US team coach John Geddert said that Tuesday is going to be a great night for the Americans. Geddert added that Wieber should take this defeat with great dignity – she has handled her victories in a dignified manner and she should do the same for defeats.
