I don't really think it is a Chinese conspiracy or anything. I just think the Olympics have some issues they need to work out with judging and scoring. I didn't follow it closely, but I remember some judging controversies with ice skating a few years back.

You're right Buster -- I had never really though about it, but scored and timed events are much more ideal. I think that's what the IOC tried to do with gymnastics, but it doesn't seem to be working as it should.
