Re: China Suspected of Foul Play in Olympic Gymnastics

Did anyone see the pommel horse final yesterday?

The competitors get two attempts and their final score is the average of the two.

So, the US girl lands twice and takes a step or two for minor deductions. The Chinese girl falls on one of her attempts. Yet, she somehow got bronze, and the US girl got 4th. :confused:

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.
