Who thinks that they olympics gymnastics tie breaker is very unfair? ?

Question

Do you agree that USA is the real gold winner??

Answer 1

I agree that the tie break rules are ridiculous.  In other sports they give two golds.  That being said checking the second scores to determine the winner may be warranted, but if still a tie they should have stopped there and given two medals.  Going that nitty gritty to a third step is ridiculous  

A good article covering in detail what happened is here http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/ol...

Answer 6

Yes it is unfair. I would rather have two golds but since the IOC doesn't allow it they developed this convoluted tie breaking system. It went down to the third method developed. See this article on how it was done.
