Who else thinks some of the Chinese judges are being a little biased?

Question

Is it just me or am I not the only one noticing that some of the Chinese judges are being a bit biased towards some of their athletes.

An Australian shooter even called out one of the Chinese judges in the shooting competition for siding w/ a Chinese shooter who clearly did not hit his target but was awarded the hit anyway.

Anybody else notice this?

Answer 1

Sorry...I think you may be the only one who thinks that...must take a lot of the joy away from watching the Olympics thinking everything is a conspiracy...sucks to be you.

Answer 2

yea i was thinking that too

i doubt it though

Answer 3

You were hearing things wrong, he didn't get that point. They aren't being biased either.  

Answer 4

All judges MAY be biased.  Thats why in some sports when the scores are sometimes subjective they would remove the highest and lowest scores.  I think it is still in the case in diving and gymnastics....correct me if I am wrong.

Also in many sports the ref is usually not from the country that is competing...such as soccer, tennis,......

Answer 5

wow..... they aren't chinese judges. Just to let you know, every match are different judges from different countries, so its not that they are being bias. But they may be influenced by the crowd. I mean, home court advantage, in a sense.

Answer 6

I agree with Johnathan...

Answer 7

not in all of htem, but some YES

Answer 8

I thought that the judge was not allowed to be from the country of any competitors say if a Chinese person was competing the judge would not be allowed to be Chinese.
