    They should have a formula for adding points like they do for deductions.

    Like you get 2 pts for a double backflip, and 1 point for doing a spin.

    This is insane. Shawn Johnson had one balance check. The Chinese girl botched getting onto the bar at the beginning and lost her balance at least three times. There is no justification for that.

    wow. Now we have gone from whining about the NBA refs to whining about gymnastics judging. This board is getting less manly by the minute. We have already exhausted about what we wear and what we shouldn't wear.

    Someone will soon make a thread about our hairstyles.

    In a month we will be talking about shaving our legs and brad pitt.

    I'll be honest from the way our gymnasts performed so far China does not deserve the gold. The calls for this competition has been question at best.

    I feel bad for the American girls.

    wtf. There is no justification for this blatant discrepancy. Every chinese athlete gets an additional +.2. I guess they award 0.1 for every year an athlete is under 16.
