aurelia.d 1 Posted August 13, 2016 #352 Share Posted August 13, 2016 It looks like the Women's Artistic Gymnastics are being judged EXTREMELY unfairly with US gymnasts in Individual All-Around placing 1st and 2nd while other teams, esp. China and Russia, are being underscored and overlooked. Disgusting! We should raise our voices for justice! Keep Rio free of politics! As I was watching the Women's Team Artistic Gymnastics final on August 10th, I noted that NONE of the judges were Asian, and China placed 3rd. Oh public, open your eyes! What is happening to the world? Earlier, shameless game of politics with Russia (state-sponsored doping and whatnot... even if true, how is it possible to notify an entire country that it can participate less than a month before Olympics?) Please, let us stand together and open the world's eyes to the huge injustice done non-American allies. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give some actual examples, based on actual facts, exact routines that should have been scored higher (and why and how) etc? That'd help a lot more than just shouting "omg America is rigging everything and omg Asian nations are being screwed".

Federer91 2,140 Posted August 13, 2016 #354 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Only Verniaiev was screwed, everything else wasn't unexpected. The US girls maybe a bit overscored, but they are definately the best, no riggage needed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 14, 2016 #355 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What a day! Two medals for Brazil, one medal for Switzerland and one medal for Germany! But the crowd really made me feel ashamed of being Brazilian. Such rude, disgusting people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,560 Posted August 14, 2016 #356 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Did anyone else notice the horrible behaviour of the (Brazilian) people in the stadium during the men's floor final? It truly saddened me...I really wanted Hypolito to win a medal in front of his home crowd, but this was some of the most pathetic, horrible crowd I have ever seen in a non-team sport event..

I read 1 full point somewhere...surely it wasn't that much? That would have given her the gold if she had made that then If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Those gymnasts have been training for years for that one moment, that made me so angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
