Not saying this is China's fault. Just some shitty judging if you ask me. |
I saw this.
The American girl did 2 clean vaults, MAYBE a slight hope on one landing but it still looked clean.
The Chinese girl did a vault and landed on her butt! Still ahead of the U.S.
The German lady (33 YO) did the same vault twice in a row and while they were done well, were the same vault! Finished ahead of the U.S.
The other girl (Korea?) landed out of bounds once and on the line on the second vault. What happened? Finished ahead of the U.S.
On top of the Chinese cheating, it looks like the judges are corrupt too.
It's so frustrating watching any event that is judged rather than scored or timed.
