“Something has reaked to high heaven with the judging at these games. The US girls had to do flawless floor routines to make up for all the hacking the judges did to them in the other events. Luckily, they did.”
yes - it was a beautiful thing wasn’t it?
It looked like the more they ripped of Nastia - the more mad she got - the better she did.
You could almost hear her say “take that bleepin’ perfect beam routine with no ‘balance checks’ and shove it!”
Nelli Kim has been around for a long time.
I would be surprised if we learned she was the problem.
Somebody somewhere is on the take.
And it only got worse because the judges turned around and hacked Shawn Johnson on the uneven bars as well which destroyed any chance at the gold for her.
The baby chinese gymnist score on the balance beam was some of the worst score juicing I've ever witnessed. The entire routine was filed with balance checks involved on even minor moves. It was like a clinic in balance checking. Her score was a near flawless number.
I believe its becoming obvious that the US females are being held to an impossible high standard, while the host countries females are being provided the benefit of the doubt. I believe the russian girl who placed 4th did a better job than the chinese girl and deserved the bronze.
Nelli Kim did look like she was pissed off by the end of the meet. She's got to be embarrased at the farce that has taken place so far. The last time she walked over to the judges table to tell them to stop hacking away at the scores and get a damn number up there, you could see the total frustration in her face. The bias in judging was so blatant, its making a mockery of the whole thing. I agree. Someone is on the take. It's trainwreck.
