Olympics 2008 Cheating?

Question

Anyone else think china is cheating?

-Underage gymnastics girls most likely.

-Nastia Liukin gets screwed by judging, but that's not really China's fault..im sure it is somehow though.

-Shaun Johnson has a difficult floor routine and did great and still got silver to someone who did great but not as difficult.

-Alicia Sacramone gets bronze on her vault and a chinese gets silver and fell on her knees!!!!

WHO IS GETTING SCREWED???

Answer 1

You're just p***ed off because China's better than US at the moment. If not for Phelps you'd be nowhere near them

Answer 2

THEY R!!!!! i was watching and I saw a girl who looked like she was like 12 but she was 14... plus their goverment gives them fake passports b/c they want them 2 win!

THEY STINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

well the girl who beat shawn johnson on floor isnt even chinese. she was european or something. the rest of the stuff i blame on the judges, but what do i know.

bwah ha ha.. someone deleted this link to the Olympics scandal.. I left some thoughts on there and guess someone didn't like it.. oh well goes to show.  Invested sponsors+cheap trade/labor+International PR= $$$ = rigged sports/bribery/threats/and whole lot of behind the scenes.

Food for thought.

Answer 5

i think china is cheating. its pretty obvious.

Answer 6

yea I think they cheated but there is nothing we can do about it so I wish people would just drop it already..geez

Answer 7

excuses, excuses, excuses   , america is the most pathetic country in the world, i thought you guys had pride in yourself.  

1. the chineese are NOT underage, the IOC checked thier certificates ,and they are all of age.

2.There is nothing wrong with the judging, not one of the judges are form China, its not allowed, so why would judges from all over the world favor China ?

3.The judges know better than you when it comes to difficulty so just because you think somethign was more difficult doesnt mean it is, the chineese was more diffiuclt and executed better.

4.the chineese had wayy more difficult and alicia double bounced which is just as bad, if not worse that falling.

5.now you're just making up ridiculous excuses, they all have stress on them no matter how long they have to wait, its not the chineese fault that the US can't handle themselves good enough before they compete.

So as you can see, all of your points have been rejected, and in conclusin, china is not cheating, they are dominating the US and the US are sore losers

Answer 8

its true! you should read the yahoo article about the true medal standings

Answer 9

YES YES YES YES

Answer 10

I agree with you.  I think China is being favoured.

Answer 11

Thats what being Communism can lead to...

Answer 12

stuart C, jannelle, and art of war said it all

I'm not gonna type up some long answer to this because this question has been asked 234234 times so please shut up. You are just embarrasing yourselves. Proving that you are sour grapes.

Answer 13

You are right! I was thinking the same thing. It doesn't seem right.

Answer 14

No, China is not cheating.

There are judges from more than just China.

It's not just China.

Answer 15

d**n commi's lol jk

Answer 16

No you are just a poor lose just like the girls here who think China cheated but couldn't give an ounce of evidence.

NASTIA's ISSUE:

Well, go back and listen to Tim Daggett's comments during the routines of the three medalists. For the Chinese gold winner, he points out "wow a major deduction" and a fault on the landing. For Nastia, he points out a leg separation and another major deduction in which he says she is "nowhere near vertical" and "if the judges want to they could take off a lot".

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.

=========

Oh how can you know the gymnastic 'code of points' if you can't EVEN spell 'Shawn Johnson' name?

Why is China's fault. China didn't even medal in the floor's exercise. r****d.

Sacramone ISSUE:

et's take a look at the scores:

Sacramone:

Vault 1: A: 6.30 B: 9.450 - Total: 15.750

Vault 2: A: 5.80 B: 9.525 - Total: 15.325

Final score : 15.537

Cheng Fei:

Vault 1: A: 6.50 B: 9.575 - Total: 16.075

Vault 2: A: 6.50 B: 8.550 - Total: 15.050

Final Score: 15.567

A is for the difficulty, B is for the execution.

Chung Fei DID get deducted because of her landing, as you can see.

Cheng Fei's routine was much more difficult than Alicia's(She had a .9 higher value I believe?) , so she had much more starting points to begin with. Plus, Sacramone didn't do a great routine ethier, she didn't fall but she didn't stick the landing properly. Chung Fei's first vault alo earned the highest score of all the women with a 16.075.With such low difficulty ratings for Alicia Sacramone( 6.3 and 5.8) she would of had to make vaults, which were not particularly difficult, perfect(which she wasn't) in order to earn her the Bronze Medal.

I HAVE PROVEN THAT YOU ARE A SORE LOSER AND A EMBARRASSMENT TO YOUR COUNTRY.

Answer 17

idk. but the fake firworks that they put on the screen for us in the USA to watch was retarded........if some of you dont no what im talking about is durinbg the opening ceremony they had some real fireworks but some of them you saw on your screen was put in there by a computer. how retarded? im just glas they didnt s***w michael phelps over. he's amazingly s**y!

Answer 18

Given that the US is the biggest cheating nation in the world, I think its great that China is beating them at their own game.

Answer 19

I hadn't honestly paid much attention until last night I was watching the gymnastics on tv the girls on the beam (I don't know the technical name) the first competitor was chinese and to me who doesn't know anything and even to the comemtators she looked to do pretty average. She got a score much more than anyone would have predicted. The girl who competed next (from Romania I think) looked fantastic and scored way less. Now as I said I don't know enough about it I just know what I think looks good but the commentators were completely baffled. The chinese girl who went first ended up getting bronze but I saw at least 3 other performances (aside from gold and silver) that should have beaten her. This was pretty disappointing, China do well enough without what appears to be favouritism from the judges.

Answer 20

I most certainly think they are biased.  What happened in gymnastics was extremely wrong but hopefully the IOC will look into it further and rectify the injustice that was served to the 2 US gymnasts.

Answer 21

yeah some guy on the olympic news was gettin realy emotional about that. i agree about that "alicia sacramone" one. though.

but atleast were goin to london in 4 years.
