We love the Olympics, but hate the judges. Usually the athletes represent all that is good with sport, but the judging represent everything the is wrong with humanity. They CHEAT CHEAT CHEAT. You’d think that when competition after competition reveals judges cheating, the Olympic committee would do something to get it right. After the Iron Curtain fell and the voting blocks were supposed to be broken and reformed, the US athletes in the gymnastics (and ice skating) keep getting screwed. What’s worse, is the US Olympic Committee refuses to do anything about it. COWARDS!
I do not understand the hatred of America that is revealing itself this week at what is supposed to be a unifying international event. If it was not for the US, the female athletes competing in burkas would not be there, the Chinese people we saved after the last earthquake would not be watching and the athletes from Whateveristan would not be competing at all.
In my house; no sports with judges for my kids. It is hard enough to compete against other athletes, it is totally disenfranchising to loose because of cheating judges.
Shame on you judges and SHAME on the US Olympic committee for allowing it to happen yet again.
