Re: The 2012 London Summer Olympics Thread
Anyone else see the crap that the judges tried to pull on Aly Raisman last night during the balance beam finals? A near-flawless performance and they tried to deduct 1.4 from her, a huge amount of deductions...you get a 1.0 point deduction for falling off the beam and she didn't even come close. This put her in 4th-place.
Bela Karolyi was in the stands SCREAMING and waving to appeal...so her coach did. The appeal basically forces the judges to watch the video and make sure they gave her credit for all of the elements or deducted something the should not have, which they clearly did one or both. Her more-accurate score came back and she won the bronze.
They were trying to screw us big time. My wife even said, "look at all of the judges watching the video, they're ALL ASIAN!"
Guess who won gold and silver? Yep, China.
