    The IOC doesn't like us either Neutral

    But I don't know enough about the respective events to really make a decision on fairness.

    There's a bunch of proof in prior Chinese documents saying they're under 16, I don't know why it wasn't researched further by the IOC. China will win the gold in team gymnastics and get some individual medals and the IOC will "find out later" that some of them weren't 16 but the medals will stand.

    You have to do so much dancing/tumbling in the time period between 70 and 90 seconds. And I know the floor routine music cannot use spoken words. The gymnast must demonstrate skills from 5 required elements, and usually consist of 5 major tumbling passes. The 5 required elements are some sort of turn, a double salto, and I would have to look up the rest.

    now their talking about the judges giving unfair scores to the americans which i have to say is true..we just owned two high bars routines and we did not get the score they deserved it was still good but not as good as it shoulda been. they were flawless routines. this is just dumbbbb. and its not just me saying that the whole media is talking about it.

    A Chinese guy was doing the floor exercise yesterday, did a move, took one step backward, another step, and then another one (this time out of the ring). He got a 14.9, official deduction: .10. Yeah, right.

    yeah i know its not fair at all i watched that whole thing and yeah we were definetly making some mistakes towards the end but idk i don't think we deserved a 12 on that one score and when we were flawless we deserved a lotttt higher than what we got--its just dumb.
