Why didn't Nastia Win the Gold?

Question

I mean she had the same exact score as the Chinese girl, and I thought her routine was better, they should have given her a better score. Oh, and I do understand that they had a tiebreaker, but that tiebreaker seemed really stupid and unfair.

Answer 1

get over yourself. chinese was better.

Answer 2

because her score was lower than the other girl when they calculated to 10,000'th of a point. Besides the girl that won bronze was better than the other two so who cares.  She didn't even deserve silver to begin with.

Answer 3

I don't get it. They changed the perfect ten score because everyone thought it was unfair and a lot of girls were getting robbed of the scores they deserved. (Watch Stick It, it explains why it's unfair). But this new system is just as bad as the perfect ten scoring. I agree the tie breaker makes little sense because it plays to biased judges. In other sports at the Olympics currently there can be ties and there aren't these tiebreakers. They even mentioned Nastia's father tied back when he was at the Olympics. These new rules and scoring are just s******g with everyone.  

Answer 4

her legs were straight in a couple of places and difficulty of her routine is different.

Answer 5

because the chinese gymnast was better.

Stop complaining, it is what it is.

Answer 6

the tiebreaker made no sense. if u ask me though they shouldnt have neede a tiebreaker because nastias performance was much smoother and had much fewer mistakes.

Answer 7

The way the tiebreaker works is that they look at how many penalties you have in your execution score and Nastia's was more.  

Answer 8

Because she could have play better yet she lost! Don't you thought the bronze winning girl had no flaw comparing to the top two? Flaw is not the only point to judge the performance. Sorry she lost, but accept the truth. She needs to improve!!!
