How US Women's Gymnastics Team Fell Apart in the Individual Olympics Gymnastic Finals

Everyone fell in love with the U.S. Women's gymnastics team after they won the team gold last week. And then the adorable Gabby Douglas stole the hearts of America when she easily took gold in the individual all-around.

Gabby messed up again this morning when she fell off the beam

But the team has barely done anything in the individual event finals the past three days.

McKayla Maroney, who everyone said was a sure gold medalist in the vault fell on her butt and only got silver, Jordyn Wieber didn't get a single medal, and Gabby Douglas messed up her bar routine and fell of the beam, not receiving a single medal either.

Business Insider has compiled a slide show of the grave errors made by individuals that led to losing medals and falling apart. Watch it this pictorial: Business Insider

A lap error makes Hero to Zero

We all make mistakes in our lives - but if you make mistakes on the race track, you pay for it dearly.

Watch the video below and see a hero becoming zero for celebrating his victory too early - in fact a lap earlier. Riccardo Russo crossed the finish line when he was leading the Italian CIV championship. And when he crossed the finish line, he stood up from his seat with arms raised in jubilation - not realizing that the race was still on as others kept passing by.

And when the race finished he stood at 14th and not first position he had so painstakingly achieved. We  all pay for our mistakes - don't we?
