Why are some of the judges in the olympics biased towards the chinese?

Question

In the boxing fly wieght bout against a chinese guy and an irish guy. A Kazakh and a chinese lightheavyweight fight. In a taekwando fight between china and britain the british girl scored a clear kick and the judges didnt give her the point.

Answer 1

The real question here is why do you have a bias against the Chinese. Seems like you are just looking for mistakes from the judges that favors the Chinese. If you look hard enough for something, you will find it.

Answer 2

Don't worry, in 2012 all judges would biased towards Britons. This is called advantage of host nation.....Is it too simple? Yes, it is the reality you have to bear, very sorry if feeling any sadness......  

Answer 3

There should be an appeals procedure in cases where the judges decisions are in doubt. All the events are televised so it should pose no difficulty to review disputed decisions.

Answer 4

I thought the judges were from different countries and that for each different event there were different judges also for each different contestant.. However my friend thinks that all the judges are chinese :/ xx

Answer 5

Because they are playing in China and you know how secretely Chinese government do their work Ie.framing judges for some crime if they don't give more points to Chinese,threatening coaches to bump them off from Beijing Skyscrapers if they don't win a medal.

Answer 6

they arent ,whenever its against your wishes ,u think its biased ,actually u r sick .do something about it .

Answer 7

I don't think they're biased. It just turned out that way. Could be perspective, not in regards to a bias, but from where the judges are sitting. Out of 302 individual events, this alleged "bias" has happened only 3 times so it's not on purpose.

Answer 8

That doesn't indicate bias there could have been other reasons.

Answer 9

The winner renounced to Britain.

Answer 10

Tat is because the Olympics are held in China tis year...

Answer 11

There is bias in every event because judging is subjective.  In boxing flyweight, the chinese guy DESTROYED the irish guy 15-0.  I watched the entire fight, the Irish boxer had no answer as his opponent had a much longer reach and was lightning quick.  Every time he went in he missed, and got jabbed once or twice on the counter.  You'd have to be blind to call bias on that fight.

I don't know, i didn't see the irish guy land any clear punches, the chinese boxer was weaving in and out, left and right like Muhammed Ali.  Most of his punches only glanced him.  HOwever, your question is biased against the chinese, what about the Swedish wrestler who threw down his bronze because of a bad decision?  He wasn't fighting a chinese guy, and he feels he got shafted.

Answer 12

You know watching the Olympic games last night I wondered if there was anything that the chinese aren't good at?  Then I remembered picking cockles in Morecambe Bay.
