Who think that Athens 2004, American Paul Hamm robbed Koreans Kim Dae-eun and Yang Tae-young of Men Gymnastics Men All-Round Gold due to wrong marking?

Answer 2

I definitely think that she was cheated. I have to commend the US team for being so professional about the whole fiasco (throughout the whole Olympics thus far). I have to admit I would have raised h**l to make sure that my voice was heard. I think that this Olympics the judges were paid off. It is not fair at all but what is done is done. It doesn't help when the whole grading system was changed for this Olympics too.

Answer 3

Let me guess, someone from China beat her?

Answer 4

Yep, again...

What a surprise...

Answer 5

There is a search option. Also if you have eyes, you can see that there have been about 10 questions about this on the SAME PAGE.

Answer 6

She was TOTALLY screwed. that tiebreaker should've never been accepted. The US women's team has been screwed over time and time again since this olympics has started.

Answer 7

yes she was cheated. both ladies are good. but let's be fair.

Answer 8

yup, those judges were paid off by the chinesse goverment

Answer 9

Yes she was cheated!!! Both girls were good but Nastia should've got that Gold!!! She stuck that landing much better!!

Answer 10

no the chinese girl was better

and the scoring system is not baised towards anyone

Answer 11

Oh Yes,  Nastia dominated the competion the whole time, but since they were in China, they gave it to the local favorite.

Answer 12

yeah, she was near perfect while the chinese girl (who is definitely not 16) made a few big errors. They both had the same start value, so either the judges were all high, or all paid off by the host nation. Not quite sure which one though
