What is your opinion on the tiebreak system in the artistic gymnastics?

Question

I think the chinese are only using this to make their own athletes win. I think this is outrageous. The new scoring system is stupid too. I think this tie break system is ridiculous. Please let me know what you think.

Answer 1

i think the chinesse goverment paid off the judges in the gymnastic event

Answer 2

"Chinese are better gymnasts. US not even a match although they are older and fatter."

i totally agree with you that our gymnasts are older.... even shawn johnson

fatter? so u saying 70lbs is normal?? maybe for a 12yr old girl. o wait....

hmm seems like the person took back her comment...

well anyway the tie break system is a failure.

Answer 3

I don't understand this "tie break" thing at all

It's simply unfair. If two gymnasts get the same score, it should be a tie right, end of story.

This is the problem with sports that are Judged, They'll always create controversy.

Answer 4

Except...the scoring system is used on the international circuit and has been for a while.

Answer 5

it is c**p! this is not hockey

Answer 6

well its sad, but the rule clearly states, in event of tying score, american gets silver, whats more ironic is that this rule was made by americans.

Answer 7

Made in China = fail

China is made of fail!

it is simple math

Answer 8

The tie break system was introduced in 1996. It is not new and it is not invented by Chinese!!!

If you don’t agree with the score system, don’t compete instead of complaining only after you cannot get gold.

Answer 9

Everyone new the rules before the games, and the rule has been use more often when the Chinese were not involved.

Answer 10

I wouldn't say the Chinese are cheating (I'd just be a complaining "Yank"), but the new scoring system sucks.
