An article from the NBC Olympic website: Tough math leaves Liukin silver
I feel bad for the gymnasts that these controversial judging incidents are somewhat marring their Olympic experience. On an amusing note, I was reading the article above and came across these two lines: "It seemed she wuz robbed, China's He Kexin getting the gold, Liukin left with silver." -and- "Wuz Liukin robbed?" Professional.

gold if they both had the same mark.

I'm surprised they didnt give them both gold. Didnt they do that a few years back in Pairs Ice Skating when they found out one of the judges was paid or
something like that?

I can't stand these judges anymore. There has got to be something going on. In all my years of watching the Olympics, I have never seen anything like this.

It's the Olympics in a communist country... did you really expect it to be fair game? It's Communists, they aren't about to let their country look
bad in the Olympics especially since they are hosting it.

That's stupid. If they got the same exact fucking score, they should just tie or there needs to be a different tie breaker. What's the point in the
scoring system then?

Do we know anything about the judges? I've been watching a lot of it online and only watching the routines, but it all seems a bit off. This is really too
bad.

After seeing it, I STILL don't get it. There has to be some shady ass shit going on. The judges are probably afraid of being shot in the street or
something.

They're saying that a computer program decides who comes out of the tie on top. And the program is created by the FIG, not the Chinese judges/olympic
people.
