Should she have won the Gold?

Hi Koaltabs, Yes I do believe she should have done and I think the judges are actualyy being very biased in all these types of events as it is amazing how these litle children, no way are they as old as they say, are winning so many medals. I also think that the British girl done an excellent job and performed perfectly very complicated moves just dismount was a bit late which ok penalise but they didn't penalise the Chinese girl for it dod they eh. At least with reaces we can see who goes accross the line first and see who really wins. In one of the events recently one judge marked every UK person really low no matter how good they were. Ellie :D

I think the other Chinese girl, the one who got bronze should have won. She did better than Nastia and Kexin He, in my opinion. Did she have a lower start value or something as the reason she didn't win because I thought she had a better landing and better form on the bars. If her start value was the same as the other two, why didn't she win?

I have not seen it. but if it was the case, why both were not deckared winner? i do not understand why one should get preference?

It's hard to say. As I am not a professional judge. I am just an audience who watched it from TV. So it is different than watching it there. I think we shouldn't pay attention whether the athlete won a gold medal or not. Silver and bronze medal is also important and it's also a great honor. In the competition, as long as you try your best to perform, you are already a champion. I love China

I thought both routines were great. They should either award two gold medals or they should find a better way to break the tie (like their scores in the qualifying round or something). The they did it (first drop the high and low score, if they're still tied drop the low scores, keep dropping until it isn't a tie any more) is asinine.

I think Nastia should have won won the Gold metal.she also collected 16.725 points.

I think Nastia was actually a little better too. What I would have liked to see was for both of them to get a gold medal. I know they don't do that anymore in the Olympics but I think that is the fairest way in a tie.

I miss the days of old when one could score a "Perfect 10". This new scoring with it's tie breaker rules has got to go. This is a situation where they should have both recieved the gold. But so be the heads and their choices along this line. She was a lot better looking. But the deduction in her difficulty is what the tie breAKER WAS THAT COST HER THE GOLD. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi koalatbs, I never saw that so I cannot coment on it but if you think think Nastia done better then she should have the glod medal. Tamara
