As we saw in London, even when the Chinese do mess up they still get medals.
I'll admit I don't know much about gymnastics, but in my mind, if you fall, you fail. Just seems like the favourites do high degree of difficulty, and even if they fall they still end up on top. I remember Shewfelt in Athens on the vault. The Romanian guy falls on his 2nd, yet still beats Kyle because his difficulty was higher. Who cares? He fell? Why doesn't everyone just do the hardest routine and land on their head then? Oh right, it's gymnastics and certain countries will always win. Same with figure skating (which admittedly, Canada sometimes benefits from (cough cough Chan)). And don't get me started on the farce that is synchronized swimming. Sorry, even Phelps and Bolt lose races sometimes. The same three countries finishing 1-2-3 for over a decade is ridiculous.
