    Yeah she was intentionally wobbling.

    It's called the Guangzhou Bobble. It's a new move.

    This is destroying the integrity of this Olympics, just what we need more questions about our nation's fair play.

    Believe me the Chinese people want to win, but we want to win fairly.

    If I remember correctly, there's the argument the judges missed an error of him performing a certain move one more time than is allowed in a routine so if they had not missed that, he wouldn't have even medaled.

    Not really. I just know that tidbit. At least I don't act like I have expert knowledge of the sport like some on here do.

    Paul Hamm had the performance of a lifetime; and you can't take that away from him. At the most, I'd say award duplicate golds like they did in figure skating back in Utah. But Hamm deserved his medal.
