    I could not follow this sport beyond the Olympics if the Judging is always like this. It must take some serious self restraint to not just run up to thos judges and yell at them.

    In 2004 Paul Hamm stole the gold medal from a Korean on a major scoring mistake by the judges. It was admitted an error by the judge after the event but Hamm wouldn't give back the gold.

    No kidding. At some point, I just stopped watching the competition and started to scroll thru the posts here since they are more amusing.

    Theres more whine being served here than the French restaurant in my town.

    would you really want to win a tainted gold?


    you think the spurs really count their 99 lockout championship a championship?

    oh yeah, theyre a bunch of P.A.B. of course they do.'




    me personally, i could say im a decent basketball player, but thats because i beat up on 12 year olds on the court. i rather challenge myself to know that i was actually good, and not have something handed to me.


    maybe just me.


    Sometimes, you got to know. Are you really that good?

    Ok, wish they would show the thing live and fully.

    NBC should never get to broadcast the Olympics again. The word "LIVE" on the corner of the TV screen is a insult to anyone with basic intelligence.

    These judges suck ass. What is up with this. If China wins gold, please let the Americans go 2 and 3, protest, and strangle the judges with them. Thx.

    So basically a huge roar from the crowd erased the 2 balance checks, missed connection, and huge step on the dismount to give her the highest score she's received so far this competition? :confused:

    For someone who complained about us talking about gymnastics you sure seem to know a little bit about the sport.

    And another. Way too high. Insane.

    There is no consistency, and it all favors china. r****ded. I'm gonna watch a movie, it's more realistic than watching three 13 year olds win unjust medals.

    Lord knows Nastia will get a 15.35 for her latest perfection.
