Olympic scores for america Fair?

Question

Not many of the judges like America in the Gymnast scores they seem unfair (not just because im American) but in gymnastics it seems as if Nastia and Shawn Were Robbed of there scores?

So are american scores UNFAIR or not compared too china?

(thankfully Karma took control and we took Gold and silver) (my thought anyway)

Answer 1

I don't get it.  They won Gold and Silver, but yet, they were robbed of their scores?

Answer 2

USA leads in medal why complain

Answer 3

They didn't seem consistent with the Chinese, but they won so it doesn't matter.  If they really did have an agenda Shawn Johnson wouldn't have one the silver by .05 points.  

You never know what will happen when you are scored by judges.  

Answer 4

I love it. My buddy Bill W (Mr. 7 weeks to hockey) is posting again.

I was impressed with the sub-par judging that was done. I noticed that it seemed to affect the American girls negatively and the Chinese girls positively. But then it may be a question of the judges looking for a certain style that the American girls didn't deliver. I do know what my eyes saw regardless of what the commentators (who are supposed to be Subject Matter Experts, Bill) said.

Note to Bill W: Why the hatin my brother? Is that envy that is painting you that lovely shade of green? I notice that you are waiting for hockey. That means you are a Canadian? Are you upset because Canada has only won two Olympic medals ever? Or is it because you can't name 5 famous Canadians without naming Gretzky twice?  

Answer 5

I think there are times when it seems like that when you are on a certain side. While there are set rules for deductions and such, judging is still very subjective. Bottom line, I do not believe the American gymnasts would have won Gold and Silver. Had the judges been truly bias against the U.S.  

Answer 6

Yes, it IS because you are American that you think it is unfair, and your user name is bang on.
