A surfer just pulled off a layback gouge and a blowtail something .. in case you wanted to know they seemed pretty good
Am I wrong or did two gymnastics get robbed on that floor routine final? One penalized for stepping out of bounds when she didn't, and one gets her score changed higher for what, screwing another one out of a medal. And I thought that football zebras were crooked.
Apparently she snuck out of the village to go to Disneyland. Not near as exciting as the story should have been
That very young Romanian girl was so exquisitely happy and crying with joy for about 90 seconds thinking she had won the Bronze only to have the score of the American increased (correctly). Then the tears were of disappointment. Felt really bad for her.
So is it customary for the judges just to change their minds and change scores after they're announced, because a contestant protests? ("I did better than that!") Especially if the contestant is an American? BS.
I actually agree with her. She got hosed. Plus she got to celebrate for 45 seconds thinking she go the medal then they took it from her. Totally effed
not it is customary if a challenge is filed to check the tape to see if a mistake was made and correct it. it is why they have a whole system set up to do it
