One of the Female American Gymnasts landed on her feet 2 times... got so so scores for 2 very difficult vaults... but at least she landed on her feet.
A female chinese gymnast couldn't even land one of her 2 vaults... she landed on her knees... yet she gets 15+ for that vault... what a crock! I thought it should have been scored more like some of the scores where they got 12 to 14 scoring range for similar mistakes. Her other vault was somewhat decent... yet she got a better average score than the american gymnast.
Yes, I realize that they start the scoring with a preset value based on the \"difficulty\" of the vault... but that score was way out of whack with the way the were grading the non-Chinese Gymnasts.
I know... It is a very very imperfect system of scoring.
The Gold Medal count for the chinese is way out of whack too... seems that this year the host country gets the benefit of the doubt... yet the other countries get to eat the low scores.
At least grade EVERYONE with the same scoring system.
I'm not against people doing well... just give them (everyone) the scores that they EARNED... good or bad... regardless of what country that they represent!
