Beijing Olympics 2008? ?

Question

Anyone agree that the scoring on some of the athletes in gymnastics is getting me very suspicious? Nastia Luikin should've gotten higher scores on vault and beam, and the chinese gymnasts are getting off easy.

Answer 1

yeah, thats what the commentators were saying..she had a perfect vault..and i cant believe what she got..but maybe it was because she didnt twist as many times as others on that one time where her vault was perfect...idk i think she should have got a higher score..doesnt seem fair

Answer 2

they are robbing some.

money talks and it talks real loud these days i wouldn't be surprised if ten years from now they reinvestigate the "real" winners.

the government and other organizations are making tons with the olympics and u tellin me somebody ain't workin together to get the cash.

Answer 3

Depends on how you look at it. NBC's commentators were saying that. However, here in Canada CBC's commentators didn't. I think it was more of an American bias than anything. The other thing is sometimes crowd noise will effect how a judge scores a routine. If the crowd reacts well, there will probably be a higher score. It's just human nature.

Answer 4

Yes. She was great.  

Answer 5

No. you're wrong. learn something about gymnastics before making your self look like.... well you get my drift.

Answer 6

No...it is not suspicious. I think you should watch other events.

Answer 7

It's a new scoring system, give it some time.
