He doesn't deserve a medal here, but since this competition is in Japan and the FIG president is Japanese... Well that doesn't seem to be helping him to a medal Ted 1 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!

heywoodu 13,540 Posted October 24, 2021 #102 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Meh, bit of a boring routine for Hashimoto. With 'boring' on the horizontal bar being absolutely relative, of course.

Maybe Uchimura can still win a medal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted October 24, 2021 #104 Share Posted October 24, 2021 And of course my least favourite routine so far gets the best score Ted 1 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!

Hashimoto will get gold even though he didn't even deserve to get a medal. That's FIG for you. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, if this (the semi-corruption) was such a big thing, surely they'd have been able to 'find' 0.1 extra point for Hashimoto somewhere in the allround final so they'd win the biggest prize as well instead of losing it by the tiniest of margins?

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 24, 2021 #107 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Seriously, I just hope they don't mess with Karimi now. He finally hit a routine in his life. He deserves a medal. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best guess is that, as we say it in Brazil, there was a "gentlemen's agreement" going on. China has a long history of being even more corrupt. The fact that they have not been banned after many, many scandals -- especially the underage gymnasts at the Olympics and World Championships -- just proves that they have a very talented negotiator behind the scenes. But now I've gone to the conspiracy theory territory. I know it. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted October 24, 2021 #110 Share Posted October 24, 2021 LOL, gold for China. I have no idea how, but... at least Hashimoto didn't get an undeserved gold medal here. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
