How in the world did that piece of clothing stay where it's at? What holding it in place and shouldn't it fall from all that movement and jumping?
I will leave this right here....

Lets all take a break from quibbling and enjoy more important matters at hand. :thumbsup:
Did I say I did? How gymnastics is specifically judged is ancillary to the point I'm trying to argue. I couldn't care any less about how the judges judge or how they award points, it doesn't matter, I'm just poking holes in the hypocracy of letting athletes protest a judgement in real-time where they have the advantage of knowing what scores they have to beat if they're one of the last to go. Now, if they open up re-evaluation possibilities for everybody at the end of the event then I'm onboard with that, but there shouldn't be a stupid time limit that you need to be under in order to file a protest. Maybe I'm missing something here, and since it's women's gymnastics that's probably the case, so maybe you can educate on how this is fair since you seem to be confident in knowing how judging gymnastics works.
thats ridiculous.
you want to eliminate: gymnastics, diving, boxing, basketball, soccer, volleyball, badminton, tennis, water polo, shot put, discus, synchronized swimming. long jump, triple jump, fencing, trampoline, field hockey, judo, taekwondo... or any event thats not a race. and those are only the summer events, do that to the winter olympics would eliminate almost the enitre thing.
A lot of those have clear defined objective and scoring system for winning. Me thinks you know not the meaning of the word subjective.
Anyways, moar women beach volleyball pics, nao!!
You can only protest the difficulty score. Anyone who received the wrong difficulty score would know to protest it when they saw their score, because they know what their difficulty score should be. It's not a subjective score. You don't have to be behind to recognize that your score is wrong, or to want a higher score.
I do think it's stupid that they don't allow ties in gymnastics. They calculate scores to the thousandth of a point (which is itself stupid, because they can't judge with that level of precision). If two athletes have identical scores, let them have a tie.
or how about we replace human judges with high speed cameras tied to a power computer like Watson?

I'm watching the women's platform diving preliminary rounds now. This is just ridiculous, the Chinese are in a class of their own when it comes to diving. Every dive that I've seen has been perfectly executed and there's almost no splash. They top the standings after every round. It comes down to all the other divers to fight for the bronze medal.
Oh and that Dutch gymnast last night on the high bar was amazing.

rigging the officiating so that they would get a free penalty kick in the event that canada was beating them
So I guess we can all watch Bolt's live performance stutter at NBC Olympics website at 3:55 PM EST tomorrow."Bolt is a huge favorite to claim another gold medal after triumphing in the 100 meters on Sunday, but weather experts revealed that for much of Wednesday and Thursday the Olympic Stadium will be affected by swirling winds and cooler temperatures – far from ideal for Bolt's attempt to break his own 200 world mark of 19.19 seconds.
However, the weather is set to clear up just in time for the 200 final, which is scheduled for 8:55 p.m. London time on Thursday, increasing the likelihood of another blistering time for Bolt"
