Maybe I'm over analyzing this, but IMO it's more evidence of America's prideful attitude

Article

this article shows how some sports shouldnt count because of the judging. These sports have been around for a while in the olympics so just because USA is loosing in the gold medal standings you can take it out??

the chinese gymnast won gold yesterday because she won the tiebreaker ove a USA gymnast and the NBC announcers couldnt accept defeat they kept raving about how the tie breaker is incorrect blah blah blah. WHO CARES JUST ACCEPT DEFEAT the judges would know more about gymnastics than them so they need to respect the other gymnast because she won fairly

also, why didnt they argue the micheal phelps race because it also looked like a tie between him and the othe swimmer from serbia.

I bet if USA was leading in the gold medal race you wouldnt find any complaints with judging

Did you actually watch the gymnastics?  It was glaringly obvious that it was a judging error....?


And how exactly can you tell the difference between a race where the difference was .01 seconds?  You must have some pretty insane superpowers.

Your opinion matters not. America is a great country. Yes, we have flaws, but so does every other country. We are on top of the best.
