yea i just watched the woman's gymnastics with Nastia Lukin and the uneven bar. that was totally unfair!!!!! she did a better technique and more accurate than the Chinese!! and when they did the tie breaker that was even more unfair!!! the progress that they showed was totally unacceptable. Nastia was supposed to get the gold medal!! also there have been reports that the judges were favoring the Chinese!! i saw in boxing it happened once. and they say that in other sports too!! i know that the judges arent Chinese but competitors like Russia are complaining!!!
so what do you think??? are their judging problems in the olympics??
basketball dosent have judges they have referees!!! ive been watching basketball ever since i was three and i think the referees were fair!! @Agent 86 the tiebreaker rule was totally unexceptable. thats what they did to Nastia Lukin in the womens uneven bars. that was unfair!! also i know what you are saying in having judges from other countries but one time in diving china made there way to be a judge and in many events they would give them a slight lead and reporters were complaining!!!

Well, I don't know about diving, but gymnastics is a subjective sport. Whatever the judges score is the rule.
[/quote]But USA won by 30 points! That proves that skills can beat any bias.[quote]
This isn't really our point though. I don't care if "skills can beat bias." Your also pretty much admitting that the refferees were biased. The US would have beaten china by at least 50 if there were was fair reffereeing.
for me, though, the highlight of that game was that with only a few minutes left in the 4th quarter, Yao Ming was still cheering on his teammates. That's sportsmanship.
i dont like yao ming! yea thats sportsmanship but he probably did it just for the media. plus i dont think theyll get in the medal round because they are like 2-3 or something
nastia lukin got ripped off in the gymnastics...... they should have given 2 golds and leave out the bronze..... but they started a gay point system and she lost...... worst judging i have ever seen
hey thats right!!!! your country is going to have the advantage in 2012! that stinks!
I disagree that we(Brits) will have the advantage in 2012 where judging is concerned. All previous Olympics have been judged well(at least to my knowledge). Anyway us Brits are all for fair play and as long as we come above the Aussies and the Krauts then i dont care about the US (who i want to beat China by the way). China is the exception as there is lots of pressure on them to do well and showcase their 'greatness'. The Us will nearly alsways do well in the athletics because they have an abundance of probably the two biggest factors where athletics is concerned. Money and population.
