Over the olympics.... ?

Question

Has anyone else kind of gotten over the olympics now.. I mean I guess I'm just so annoyed about how things have gone, and how everything seems to be favoring the Chinese, that I'm over watching them now... I'm not saying it because my team hasn't won, I'm saying because other countries have deserved to win and they didn't. Chinese are getting way to much favoritism... Just recently the Vault comp where china still got a medal after completely messing up the second vault, then china gets the gold after a tie it just happens to go to her, I felt so bad for that chick that didn't get it. To be strip of the gold when she deserved it, so messed up! Much more examples.. but I'm not going to get into them... but ya anyone else feeling this way?

Answer 1

you are definitely not the only one. it just gets so frustrating when things go on like that. im kind of over them too, even if they do only come every four years.

Answer 2

Yeah, I agree China is cheating. There are a lot of other countries who deserve those medals. The vault was ripped off. No matter what, she should not have scored so high on that second one considering she landed on both her knees and hands. I think the Olympics needs to end soon before they p**s anymore people off. Especially with the baseball incident. Hit the USA 7 times on purpose... those were no accidents. If they made it to the Olympics, i'm sure they have better control of where the ball is going.

Answer 3

The girl who fell on the 2nd vault did really well on the first vault so it compensated for the fall

Answer 4

No, it's always a little disappointing sometimes but since it only comes every four years for the Summer Games I enjoy them while they're on

Answer 5

The judges are communists

only explanation

...

Answer 6

I'd rather hear some more examples.

The Uneven Bars tie example holds no water. It's pure math and totally legit. Read this: http://www.nbcolympics.com/gymnastics/ne...

She wasn't "stripped." It's pretty much luck of the draw. Here's a question for you. If the Chinese girl was the one that had been "robbed," would you be complaining?

The vault could be debated. A fall is -.8 point. Simple as that. She got that deducted for sure. I'll leave it at that.

Answer 7

The chinese must be cheating

I am only over it because I want home and away to come back on!!! I love belle and aiden together!!! they are so cute

Answer 8

If everyone has evidence that the girls are underage, then why isn't anybody doing something about it and taking their medals away? I really don't understand this.

Everyone calling China cheaters should be reminded of the Olympics in Sydney when Marion Jones used steroids to win many medals for the US. There is a double standard here, so it is only right that I call the US filthy pathetic cheaters as well, is it not?

Does anybody else feel that NBC is brainwashing people to believe that US gymnasts are better than everyone else?

Answer 9

Big falls only carry a 0.5 deduction (0.8 on balance beam) and I think it needs to be higher...perhaps a whole point. Or have a sliding scale so that the more difficult the routine, the bigger the deduction for a fall.

Because too often these days you have gymnasts that have their difficulty so high that they act like it doesnt matter if they fall. And that's just not right.
