Women's Gymastics Scoring Last Night?

Question

Did anyone else find that the scoring systems is not working? Last night I watched a nearly lawless vault, beam and bar rountine being scored low! For instance the chinese on the beam made several huge errors and received better scores then others that did a nearly perfect routine! What's your take?

Answer 1

What the heck has being a Karate judge got to do with Gymnastics? You were asked since when have you been a judge, referring to Gymnastics.

Answer 2

Oh, I agree. Nastia was nearly perfect, as was Shawn - though she missed a few landings.

They were cheated last night and every other night. And, the score for the Russian girl on bars - what? She may have had a stuck landing but it was so sloppy and messy.

At least they got finally gold and silver - which they more than deserved!

Answer 3

Even the TV announcers said it... "WOW! I thought the score would've been higher than that"..

Stupid CrackHead judges cheated!!

You can certainly tell Nastia and Shawn were pissed!!

Good thing they won cuz it would've caused a lot of controversy!!

Answer 4

Pretty outrageous, is what I thought.  Anyways, the American women won, but only by some miracle.  Well, not a miracle.  They both pulled off amazing almost perfect floor routines at the moment they absolutely had to.  What was UP with the scoring?  

Answer 5

It was ridiculous!!! Nastia and Shawn deserved way better, and they knew it. They looked pissed!

Answer 6

Yes!  I can't stand the new scoring system.

Answer 7

That's gymnastics for you.

The scoring system will always be flawed.

Answer 8

I have to agree.Something is messed up or wrong with the way the scoring is. When my best friend who has done gymanstics for 15 years says something was wrong and the commentators looked so lost on the scores. Come on now....

Answer 9

And since when have you been a judge? Edit since when does being a Karate judge qualify you in Gymnastics? Now you are trying to riggle out of your answer.
