Men's Gymnastics Team Final...

[Loves_Shizuka]

To be fair Uchimura's dismount deserves credit doesn't it - it was just really badly done...?

Still, this is awful :drama:

[brina]

oh my gosh.

From what we've heard explained they were checking to dsee if Uchimura got into a handstand on his dismount from hte pommels and I guess they decided he did so his technical score went up? that's what i understood.

At least GB still gets a medal, but Ukraine???

[allezfred]

Heartbreaking for Ukraine and a major bummer for the Brits! :(

GB have a friggin bronze medal in team gymnastics for fecks sake. Major and bummer are not words that come to mind. :lol:

[Jenya]

BBC not :wuzrobbed . You know if this was NBC they'd be lobbying for joint silver medals. Amateurs. :P

:rofl:

[Braulio]

If the USA would not have fall or had get 2 points more, they would have tied Japan for the silver...

Just two points, poor guys

[kylet3]

This is complete and utter B/S. I really hope Ukraine files a protest. Uchimura didn't get up into handstand, there is no fecking way he got straight up into it, he was off by several degrees.

Poor Ukraine, is there anything they can do?

[Karpenko]

This competition almost feels like the Sydney womens AA, wow what a crazy night.

Uchimura didn't deserve credit for doing a handstand imo.

I love him, think he's the best, but that was bullshit.

Minor bummer. :P

[liv]

whatever dismount he had, it sure was crappy...

[love_skate2011]

I have a feeling Uchimura will get a Karma in AA or with judges at least :shuffle:

[Braulio]

And in women´s fencing the scandal is also there between a german and a korean :P

It seems like once you review one score you pretty much have set yourself up to have to review every score in the competition. I know that isn't how it works in reality - but it should. You can't tell me there weren't mistakes in at least some of the other scores if they've determined there was a mistake in this one.Exactly. And I suspect that's why the process for protesting scores in skating under CoP is very strict. Pretty much everything is considered a 'field of play' decision and can't be changed.

I predict more protests during this Olys, and in the future. Sigh.

And it sure didn't look like a handstand to me, but what do I know...

More scoring by reputation.
