Did anybody just see Nastia Liukin get ripped off in the uneven bars??

Question

That was rediculous she had much fewer visible errors than the chinese girl and they tied and then according to a computer program the is put into second place. come on this new scoring system is terrible. she just got cheated.

Answer 1

For the millionth time, she wasn't cheated.

Answer 2

I totally agree. Nastia was totally ripped off! I Can't Answer-why do you keep saying that? They should both get gold or have to compete against each other again!

Answer 3

she looked like she was gonna cry =[

Answer 4

Even if the tiebreakers weren't completely unfair, Nastia would have been cheated.

China as a country is cheating. Their gymnists are four years old. They should not be competing.

Answer 5

yes she was totally cheated. they were all tied up they took out the chinese girls lowest score which was lower than nastias and it made the chinese girls hgiher. that does make sense peice of sh*t china this is the most ripped off olympics in gymnastics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Here is how He Kexin of China and Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin finished with the same score on the uneven bars but different medals:

WHERE IT STARTS: Liukin and He each scored a 16.725. They had identical 7.7 start values (the measure of a routine’s difficulty) and 9.025 execution scores. The execution mark is based on the perfect 10.0 scale, and is arrived at by tossing out the highest and lowest of the six judges’ marks, and averaging the remaining four.

THE FIRST TIE-BREAK: The four deductions that counted are added together and averaged. He and Liukin were still tied.

THE SECOND TIE-BREAK: The three-lowest deductions are added together and averaged. He had .933 in deductions and Liukin had .966, meaning He had .033 less in deductions—and was declared the winner

Besides, I am quite surprise that Nastia's A's mark is 7.7. Compare with China's player, her performance are lacking of flying movement.

Anyway, don't worry, Shawn must beat China team at Parallel bar.

Answer 7

I KNOW RIGHT????  OMG!  I seriously think that the judges are biased toward the Chinese.  I'm not just talking about this exercise, but in every other gymnastics one too...Pisses me off...

Answer 8

just looks and proves that USA are bad loser  

Answer 9

Why would they use a computer for tie breakers? That's absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. They should both get gold or have to perform a second time.

Answer 10

they should have performed a second time for the tiebreaker but anyways i think china is cheating for using underage girls

Answer 11

She ABSOLUTELY got RIPPED OFF, Anyone can watch the two performances and see that hers was clearly better, The Chinese girll had a major step to the side on her landing , I believe that shoud have been at least a .3 deduction just for that, she had other errors also.

Nastia is the Gold Medal Overall Champion, Congratulations Nastia !

Answer 12

see that is where you are wrong. yeah she may have had fewer visible errors "TO YOU" but you dont know exactly what these judges have taken off or need to take off. so obviously she wasnt cheated. she did just as good. it was just the olympics fault that they cant give out dual medals anymore and by the new tie breaking system she lost.

Answer 13

she was not cheated, she was just not good a nuff to win gold.
