The South Koreans sure are proving themselves to be the worst of sportsmen these days. What a bunch of whiny losers. Truly pathetic.

Didn't the South Koreans also whine during the Winter Olympics? Short-track speed skating or some such competition sent them into a tizzy.

Wasn't it at the Seoul Olympics that Roy Jones Jr. beat the living crap out of the South Korean fighter and lost the decision?

OK a little Reporting 101 here

Question : Did you know your gymnast was being scored out of a 9.9 before his routine?

IF yes : Did you protest the rating of his routine at that time?

If NO : Tough Shiite!

Well, unless we are equally whiny losers for filing a protest over the Japanese swimmer's alleged dolphin kick, I'm not sure why we should condemn the South Koreans.

Many sports fans are questioning the reliability of the scorings and also have expressed their feelings of disappointment on the judgments both online and offline.

I enjoy gymnastics, but any sport that is scored subjectively can be frustrating to the participants and spectators. Like the way the French judges scored American skaters in '02. Cheaters.
