With eyes firmly on 2012 London Olympics, U.S. Women's Gymnastics team scores Gold at World Championships in Tokyo, beating Russia

For some American sports fans, due in part to it being held in Tokyo and the time difference -13 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time zone- the only recent news they heard about the U.S. Women's gymnastics team at the World Championships was this, perhaps the most-discussed sports Tweet of the year on the blogosphere:
