Wing Zero, there is a rubric on what deductions are worth. Say if someone falls, a judge can't deem what they think it is worth because the rubric says eight-tenth.

The 'Tie-Breaker' was bull****. Seven of the countries on the judging board have never even produced medal winning olympic gymnasts. Jealousy/Ignorance? I think so.
?????

In gymnastics, people would prefer simple, perfect routine over flashy, imperfect ones.*

Yeah, except in this case Nastia's had a lot fewer noticeable errors. Like Bela, the announcers, etc. said the only reason the Chinese won was because of inadequacies and lack of experience on the judging panel.

im sure on most Olympics (past and presents) the judging panels are well experienced and yet the china still gets tons of medals from gymnastics.

That is only one view, because you are watching American television. I would think judges know more than the announcers.

I re-watched the performance today, and I thought both were very well performed.

On the contrary, I thought He had two big mistakes - one flat moment and her landing - but Liukin had quite a few more...*

I doubt that IOC can find any proof about their age. China has been notorious for changing ages of promising athletes on any type of certification.
