Poll: Are the Olympics Gymnastics Judges favoring China?

Question

I'm watching the women's individual all-around gymnastics final right now...

and i'm not liking what i see....

and it's not just because i'm american that i think this because i am chinese as well...

but the judges seem to be favoring the chinese gymnasts especially in the uneven bars and the balance beam routines.

Answer 1

yeah because it's their olympics, i'm rooting for nastia liukin

Answer 2

I don't know if they are favoring them but I don't think they like Shawn Johnson tonight for some reason.  

Answer 3

American haters worldwide club!, they are in bed with the American political left,..China is a brutal communist regime (but you will find Democrats who think Bush is ten times worse),.the world needs to step up to our standards, NOT the other way around.

Answer 4

I completely agree with you! In the end it doesn't matter cause we took gold and silver ;) but in reality, that was pathetic! Johnson was awesome and her scores were pathetic. She did way better then China and they all were scoring better then her. They must not of been able to make up enough deductions for the USA to lose...its weird though cause its not like its just Chinese judges...who knows, they probably slipped the judges money under the table to go along with that as well as not saying anything about them being 8...10...however old those little girls are.

Answer 5

You've got it,girl.

Answer 6

yeah i really couldn't believe what i was seeing when i was watching it.

it was insane. seriously, did you see Nastia Liukin's vault routine? wow it was amazing. and she got such a low score. and then Shawn Johnson's beam routine was almost flawless as well and then one of the girls from China (not sure what her name is) had SO many balance checks and got a higher score than Shawn.

but i was SO glad to see that Nastia and Shawn got gold and silver in the end. they really deserved it.

i'm not saying the Chinese did bad, but the Americans were judged unfairly for the most part. but in the end, it all worked out.

and i'm not saying this because i'm American, ANY honest person would agree with what i just said. it doesn't matter where you're from.

Answer 7

I was just watching a chinese girl on the balance beam, and she had about 5 or 6 minor balance faults plus a bigger fault, but they still gave her a 9.050 on execution, all the commentators were appalled as well.  I think they're favoring Chinese, I'd say the same if they were favorite US too though.

Answer 8

yeah i agree. and a lot of amazing athletes that deserve to get high scores are not getting c**p and the chinese athletes are getting high scores when they mess us three, four, or five times.

Answer 9

definitely! it's been that way throughout the whole competition.  

Answer 10

Definitely, i'm not surprised after they allowed underage gymnast girls to compete. I cant really tell if they are lowering the US score or making the Chinese score higher but i can tell that the judges are bullshitting it. They cant conceal it in the obvious errors the Chinese gymnasts are making without deductions as harsh as they are on the US team for sure. BTW im not from the US or China and im not biased to the US in any way.

Answer 11

  Yes, they are favoring the chinese big time. And for the record they are under 16, look at their faces and body. They don't even look 15.

Answer 12

Yes, and they shouldn't have made it SOO obvious that they are cheating.

Answer 13

YES!!! I had to turn the channel last night. I was so disgusted with the way they were scoring. The US did an awesome job and got lower scores that China when they had very obvious balance flaws. It is so obviously unfair.  

Answer 14

Yeah, I'm getting pretty irritated as well. They completely jipped Nastia on everything except for balance beam so far (she still has floor exercise). The commentators are even talking about how ridiculous the scoring is. I'm not surprised at all, though. It happens a lot.

Answer 15

They shouldnt be biased, They should be neutral!
