Olympic gymnastics scoring?

Question

Why does it seem like the u.s. is getting screwed over in the deductions, and china is getting less than they should?

Answer 1

i know i watching it going wtf between the them being under age and the score its driving me insane

but it was soooo funny when the chinese girl fell durning the vault

Answer 2

I think so.  And people who say that we are jealous for questioning so should really look at a scene I noticed from tonight when one of the Chinese Gymnists fell during one of the excercises and she still got close to a 15 when an American gymnist messed up she got a 12.

Answer 3

watching it now and china got 15.7 on the beam after clearly making many mistakes nearly falling 5 times and a bad landing this is rigged and america is get screwed by these judges. its bs!

Answer 4

well....china is over all the better team...we do get screwed a lot but we also make alot of simple mistake like stepping out of bounds....china they do more difficult stunts and they recieve more points when they land them....i do think we deserve better scores when we do them perfect!we are a good team and winning a medal is better then none!

Answer 5

Yes they are getting screwed.  And to answer the person before me, everyone is pissed that China is yet again cheating.  So how much are the judges getting paid for tonight?

Answer 6

Its madness I don't care who wins its all BS they are blatantly favoring china

Answer 7

bigger question is why this question is getting asked every 2 minutes
