Beautiful gold, so-so silver and shameful bronze: The running Olympics thread

Just saw the women's uneven bars. Natsia Liukin got fucked.

He's a llama.

 

I don't know why I keep watching gymnastics. It just keeps happening.

 

I know. They tried to screw Nastia and Shawn in the all-around but evidently failed so they're going to make up for it. I bet neither Shawn nor Nastia win the beam unless everyone else (i.e. Chinese toddler) falls.

 

The explanation they gave makes sense, but I still don't agree with the judging.

 

When did you guys qualify as gymnastics judges?

 

This morning.

 

Glad your certification came through, KG

 

if they're going to have gymnastics in the Olympics, put some fucking stuff in there that does away with the subjective scoring system.

And the IOC gets rid of non-subjective events like baseball and softball, with clear-cut winners.

 

Uh, Bob, the tiebreakers as they were did make sense. You may not have agreed with who won, but in no way is this a 'very strange tiebreaking procedure'.

In a subjective competition, Mr. Baseball, how would you have rather seen the tie broken other than using the judges' scores?

 

If its subjective, then I see no reason to break a tie.
